John Kerry and the DLC.

I see some Kerrycrats, well one at least, trying to say Hillary Clinton is the DLC.

Well, Hillary is a DLC member.

And I hate the DLC. But I support her.

But unlike some of you, I don't disqualify candidates based on their involvement with groups like the DLC. I look at their positions, the issues they campaign, their records, their rhetoric, and the vision they present for the country.

But to suggest Hillary Clinton is the DLC is insane when John Kerry has been a member and been involved with the DLC in the past.

Want proof? Here you go:

John Kerry's been a part of the DLC in the past. He isn't anymore, but he has. And to suggest he hasn't is lying and distorting the truth.

He also keynoted the DLC National Conversation in 2004:

Hell, the DLC shows up on Senator Kerry's website:

So I hate the DLC. And I love Senator Kerry.

But I'm not about to attack him nor Hillary for this.

Disagree with them for being a member of the DLC. But don't use talking points against my current candidate when you as a Kerrycrat believe in someone whose just as guilty or in the same lumping you're attacking Hillary for.

Got hypocrisy?
