This one has me laughing — NewsMax.com is claiming that Lehrer “Stacked the Deck Against Bush”.
Are you freaking kidding me? How damn funny is that? Here's one great excerpt:
To Kerry: "You've repeatedly accused President Bush of lying to the American people on Iraq. Give us some examples of the president being untruthful on Iraq."Jeez! Sounds like Lehrer is a jerk! Except that wasn't the question. From the transcript:
LEHRER: New question. Senator Kerry, two minutes. You just -- you've repeatedly accused President Bush -- not here tonight, but elsewhere before -- of not telling the truth about Iraq, essentially of lying to the American people about Iraq. Give us some examples of what you consider to be his not telling the truth.Any moron can see the difference, and NewsMax.com is just intentionally misleading readers. Lehrer was calling Kerry on some comments he made. You know: put up or shut up. That kind of thing. Understand?
Even more funny:
But there were no queries to Sen. Kerry about his long Senate record of voting against defense appropriations, or his sponsorship of a bill to cut CIA funding by $6 billion a year after terrorists struck the World Trade Center in 1993, or Kerry's support of the nuclear freeze movement during the height of the Cold War.Yeah. That's right. Lehrer didn't ask Bush about the National Guard, cocaine, ties to the Saudi royal family, a possible neo-con agenda and why that goat book was so compelling. Ooooh! Lehrer! That bastard!
Kerry wasn't asked why he teamed up with Jane Fonda to protest the Vietnam War while his band of brothers were still on the battlefield, or why he met with enemy leaders in Paris, or why he accused fellow soldiers of being "monsters" and "war criminals."
I'd be mad, but it really is too funny. That may change if people actually start repeating this nonsense.
They're desperate, and it's showing.|||109667306974445478|||NewsMax.com v. Lehrer
