Kerry arrested…..Operation Dewey Canyon III began on April 18, 1971, as he and others gathered on Washington’s Mall for what they called “a limited incursion into the country of Congress.”
Kerry vs. Corsi
Politico
John Kerry is launching a website, Truth Fights Back, to defend Obama and other Democratic candidates against attacks.
The site, paid for by his leadership PAC, goes after the “80 lies” in a new book by Jerome Corsi, whose 2004 attack on Kerry’s military record helped sink the Democrat’s campaign, but whose Obama book seems likely to remain on the margins this year.
Kerry writes in an e-mail going out shortly to his (massive) list:
“Pick up the New York Times this morning and read the headline: “Book on Obama Hopes to Repeat Anti-Kerry Feat”
Yes, Jerome Corsi, the right wing fringe author who made his bones smearing the Catholic Church and lying about my military record, is back atop the best-seller list with an anti-Obama book chock full of lies.
If your blood isn’t boiling yet, read this: “This is a fact: Today Barack Obama is subject to what is probably the greatest concentrated attacks of smears, lies and innuendo in the lifetime of anyone who reads these words.”
The site’s focus isn’t so much on debunking as on “tracking” the attacks, and promises to watch their spread in real time.
It also defends a pair of Senate candidates, and Kerry’s staff says it’ll focus more heavily on congressional races going forward.
Kerry continues:
“By signing up, you’ll stay on top of what the right wing is doing and help fight for the truth. And you can report smears when you see them to keep us on track on what the smear machine is up to at every moment. You will be our eyes and ears.
We know the game, we’ve learned some things, and we have a fired-up movement of activists like no party has had in decades, all networked together with great Internet tools.
So sign up to help. This is a massive undertaking, so we need your help to pull it off.”
KERRY’S e-mail:
From: John Kerry
Subject: the liars are back. Time to finish them off
Pick up the New York Times this morning and read the headline: “Book on Obama Hopes to Repeat Anti-Kerry Feat”
Yes, Jerome Corsi, the right wing fringe author who made his bones smearing the Catholic Church and lying about my military record, is back atop the best seller list with an anti-Obama book chock full of lies.
If your blood isn’t boiling yet, read this: “This is a fact: Today Barack Obama is subject to what is probably the greatest concentrated attacks of smears, lies and innuendo in the lifetime of anyone who reads these words.”
Those are the words of Brent Budowsky in Editor and Publisher. He knows what he’s talking about.
And it’s not just Barack: up and down the ticket and all across the country, the rightwing smear machine is ramping up attacks on Democrats.
We’ve seen this movie before. The Republicans, without ideas, start running a negative campaign filled with personal attacks and misleading ads. The attacks get condemned, but they get lots of attention and get played on TV endlessly.
We’ve got to fight every way we can. I’m going on television and the radio pushing back every chance I get – just like I did on MSNBC a few days go – but I need your help.
Click here to watch that clip on MSNBC and sign up to our new, grassroots project to beat back the rightwing machine wherever it operates!
We’re launching a new website that empowers you to fight back across the country in ways no campaign has attempted. It’s called TruthFightsBack.com, and we can use all the help you can give.
By signing up, you’ll stay on top of what the rightwing is doing and help fight for the truth. And you can report smears when you see them to keep us on track on what the smear machine is up to at every moment. You will be our eyes and ears.

You can’t just play defense against smears, pointing out how they aren’t true. You’ve got to play offense, too, exposing the whole cynical game for what it is: an attempt to keep us from talking about the real issues and ultimately changing our country for the better.
The Republicans have nothing to run on, no ideas to push, no solutions for America. They’ll run a campaign of laughable gimmicks and outright distortions and lies. But we can fight back with the truth – and the truth can win this time.
Let’s do it.
Thanks,
John Kerry

Wild Thing’s comment……….
Bwahahahahahahaha nice try, Lurch. John Kerry couldn’t launch a rubber ducky!
First thing he’ll post is his military record. Right?
He (or his staff…) also put into the Congressional record a statement about Kerry’s proud “Irish” heritage. Another lie.
And he’s going to represent “TRUTH” Fights back???
Yeah thats what I want to see is Kerry’s full Military Record.
I remember the protest Dewey Canyon III, I thought it was an abomination and full of disrespect of the real Dewey Canyon operation performed by the 9th Marine Regiment.
The commanding general of the 3d Marine Dicision hedquartered our of DaNang, was Major General Raymond G. Davis. For davis , this was his third war, having served in world war II and receiving the Medal of Honor for his heroism at the Chosin Reservoir in Korea. Davis referred to the 9th Marines as the “Mountain Regiment” and his ‘Strike Force regiment.’ As Operation Dewey Canyon began on January 22, 1969, General Davis had good reason to pay close attention to the efforts of his Marines. Among the men assigned to meet and defeat the enemy in their A Shau sanctuary was a young lieutenant in command of a rifle platoon. By a strange twist of fate that defied military policy prohibing relatives from serving in the same war zone, Operation Dewey Canyon would send Davis’ son, Leutenant Miles Davis into harms way.
When the operation was finished there were 5 Medals of Honor given out to 9th Marines and scores killed and wounded. To use that name is, to me the worst thing anyone could do. The lack of respect for those troops is so large that I can not find the words to describe it.
Kerry was and still is a complete asswipe’ maggot and any other name that pops into my head. But most of all a coward and a complete loser.
Kerry got all the attention, while those men of the 9th got shit, spit on and no help when they got home.
I said yesterday I disagreed with Cheryl about Obama being a worse piece of Sh&t, than kerry, no kerry is the worst kind of scum. He would sell out his country for a headline. He’s a liar, a cheat and a thief and has escaped prosecution all these years now he wants to start again… Well bring it on dickhead.
YES! KERRY IS A POS- SO IS CARTER SO IS CLINTON- – OBAMA IS JUST THE BIGGEST ONE THIS ELECTION– KERRY IS A BASTARD FROM HELL- I KNOW HE HAS SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO KEEP UP THE HIS DISRESPECTFUL LIES AND IDEAS OF THE VIET NAM WAR- HIS BS ABOUT ALL THE WRONG OUR US SOLDIERS DID TO THE INNOCENT VC- HA HA !!! KERRY IS A TRAITOR – A LIAR AND UNFIT FOR ANY COMAND- HE HAS STIRRED UP TROUBLE ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN STIRRED-
NOW I HAVE SEEN IN SEVERAL PLACES THAT OBAMA MAY CHOOSE KERRY FOR A RUNNING MATE- AS HIS VP!! YEAH HOO!!!! COULD THE DEMOCRATS BE THAT RETARDED–?? THE ANSWER I HOPE IS YES!!! WHAT A TEAM — THE NUMBER 1 AND NUMBER 2 TOP LIBERAL BASTARDS – IN THE DEMOCRATS- TRYING TO WIN PRES AND VP — LMFAO!!! HOPE IT IS TRUE!!! I AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU GUYS THAT WERE IN NAM- AND KERRY IS SCUM — I HOPE HE GETS EVERYTHING HE DESERVES!!
So, Kerry rose up from his muddy lair in the Black Lagoon and launched a new website. Why? Does he think that he is important? That was disproven in 2004. Maybe some fools in Boston and Martha’s Vineyard think he matters, but to most Americans he doesn’t. Guess he will learn again.
I saw a blistering attack on Jerome Corsi on Larry King live by a slimeball from media matters, King, true to his nature let the slimeball have his rant before the nation as he tried to demean Corsi. This is the same thing Kerry is doing, trying to obfuscate facts while denigrating our troops and glorifying the slime amongst us. He and Obama are that slime, nor have I forgotten sleazy Murtha. What Mark has said is the truth. Thank You Mark. My own third platoon was assigned to supply outposts in the A-Shau, Army and Marines alike, not only did the Marines fight a superior battle, they did it without the Congressional support they needed. The Marines have been the bastard child of the Navy and the department of defense, always underfunded, as such they got the last of the supplies, the second hand shit from the Korean war and obsolete munitions. Those poor bastards didn’t even have parts for one of the most vital battlefield tools, the radio, they were having to give away their positions via voice commands.
Some 794,000 Marines served in Vietnam 14,840 died and 51,392 sustained wounds, none of them left their comrades behind with a band aid wound like Kerry to come home and spread horrible untruths that tainted each and every Vietnam Veteran forever.
I wish that pusillanimous gigolo Kerry would just keep his yap shut. Show us your original DD214 John, not any doctored or forged document either.
Thanks Jack.
Mark, Kerry is straight from the pits of hell.
Thank you soooooo much for your comment on this and what you said.
Kerry should have been executed for what he did and I don’t care who knows I feel that way.
Cheryl, if Obama picks Kerry I think all hell will break loose and I will be one of the people doing it.
Tom, yes he will learn again that America does not want the likes of John Kerry.
Jack, thank you!
John Kerry and telling the truth is an oxymoron.
Les, it sure is that is the perfect word for it.
Please remind Comrade Kerry that the truth fought back in 2004 thanks to John O’Neill and the Swift Boat patriots!
