NewsBusters Publisher Bozell to Media: Don’t Endorse John Kerry’s Crusade Against the Tea Party

John Kerry is on a crusade to destroy the Tea Party. To blame the Tea Party for the S&P downgrade is like blaming the Betty Ford Clinic for alcoholism. The entire existence of the Tea Party movement has been based on an attempt to stop the runaway spending of Washington – by the likes of John Kerry. Any media outlet that features his outrageous blame game remarks without challenging his serial dishonesty is giving aid and comfort to the crusade to vilify and extinguish conservative thought.

If this is the ‘Tea Party downgrade’ then I’m the fairy godmother. No, this is a well-coordinated effort by the left-wing to deflect bad news – very bad news – away from their very left-wing President Obama.

Let's not forget the conservative movement’s position on the debt. The only legislation that would have met the criteria to avert a downgrade was the Cut Cap Balance proposal. It included $5.8 trillion in cuts, easily more than what S&P required. But President Obama vowed not to sign it, and the John Kerry Senate Democrats refused to consider it. The liberal media largely ignored this reality, too.

So nice try, left-wing propaganda machine. The President and his left-wing allies in Congress have earned their position in the hot seat. The left-wing media are aiding and abetting blatant falsehoods unless and until they call out Senator John Kerry as a deliberate liar.

"The left-wing media...

That'll be the day. They may as well call themselves out first! It'll be like anticipating the day when the likes of Mathews, and Lauer, and Gregory, and all the rest of these liars come out and say... "We were wrong!"

In other words, don't hold your breath. It will never happen.

Hardy- har, har.  We duped the dopey American public.

Shovel-ready?

When this next election gets heated up, every conservative ought to play this clip over and over and over.  There isn't a better indictment of this clown's mishandling of the economy.

Kerry's brain is shovel-ready.

Submitted by MaximusBraveheart on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 2:11pm.

A "hero" is not a bald face liar as Kerry is. What an oreh (hero backwards)... He is an absolute traitor to our founders by slamming the Tea Party. Lying to get a medal is the lowest of low too! Then consider the actual circumstances and need for REAL heroism in the Vietnam war. I hope a truthful movie comes out about his life!

-- Maximusbraveheart -- Is TRUTH knowable? Moral Relativism is the abandonment of Truth. Truth is knowable. Truth conforms to Reality. Reality is observable by evidence & witness in this day & from history. Relativism is Sesame Street play land.

Kerry is on a Crusade against

Kerry is on a Crusade against the Tea Party? As usual the left is off the mark. He needs to be on a personal quest to find integrity and a brain.

Excellent written article. Go one step further, and fax it over to Kerry. How dare he bash anyone after his deranged behavior toward American's
