"AP Distorts Kerry Statements, Claims Senator Backs Bush's Preemptive Strike Policy
We have spotted a new attack plan being tried by the BushMedia stategists: Push liberals toward Nader (to whose campaign the GOP has donated thousands) by making it appear that Kerry is as hawkish as Bush & Co. and thus that there is "very little difference" between Kerry and Bush. This AP (A.merican P.ropaganda) headline reads: Kerry backs much of preemptive doctrine" is completely distorted. Here is the statement it is based on: "Am I prepared as president to go get them before they get us if we locate them and have the sufficient intelligence? You bet I am." 'Go get them' as in send special forces in, no doubt. Not as in bombing the hell out an entire country. Last time we looked, there was a HUGE difference. In coming days, expect to see this distortion played up, followed by renewed calls of "there's no difference between the Dems and the GOP."

that he has to spell everything out for the press like they are in grade school. I take it that the "them" are terrorists, not countries without an airplane.

| 3. actually we have to remember |

the reporters know exactly with Kerry said, and they are misquoting him on purpose.
I watched some of the reporting today, and it was maddening to listen to they leave out important words or twist things around completely.
Reason One I've stopped listening to cable/network news.

I'm appalled by all the anti-Kerry hyperbole I'm reading lately. Wish this would be stopped by the adm.

that sort of thing once we have a nominee, so I guess they'll crack down after the convention.
