Kerry: “No Dem will ever be swift-boated again”

Kerry: No Dem will ever be swift-boated again
ABC’s This Week, broadcast January 13, 2008.
Senator John Kerry told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week” that no Democratic President will ever allow themselves to be attacked in the way that the “Swift-boat veterans” group attacked him in 2004.
“Unfortunately, when lies are put out on television sufficiently and unanswered sufficiently, they can make a difference. That will never, ever happen again,” he said.
Stephanopoulous and Kerry discussed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama’s clash over a controversial comment Clinton made regarding Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Clinton accused Obama’s campaign of distorting her comments to suggest that she thought less of King.
When Stephanopoulous asked Kerry if he felt the Obama campaign owed Clinton an apology, he neglected to comment.
“George, I don’t know what the back/forth has been and i’m not here to get in between, you know, the sort of two campaigns and how they’re interpreting that,” he said.
Throughout the interview, Kerry voiced his strong support for Obama and his “ability to inspire hope.”
“Who better than Barack Obama to talk to young blacks in america or disaffected young people or — anybody, and sort of say, you see what happens if you have a dream and you pursue it and you work at it?” he said.
Kerry cited financial problems as a main reason why swiftboating was such a problem for him in the 2004 elections.

“No, he won’t, nor will any democrat ever again. And you’re looking at the person would understands that better than anybody. We made the miscalculation that we had answered the lies enough. They were answered. They were answered contrary to myth on day one, instant one. Counterpress conference. And the mainstream media wrote the truth. But unfortunately, when lies are put out on television sufficiently and unanswered sufficiently, they can make a difference. That will never, ever happen again ”
“We were stuck in the federal financing. [Barack Obama] is not. And he will have the ability to be able to redefine himself immediately,” he said.

Wild Thing’s comment……..
A stupid question about Swiftboating to Kerry. And another lie of an answer from traitor Kerry. We just can’t seem to get rid of Kerry the jerk. I wonder if he told them he wanted to be asked that question just so he could do his poor me thing on the show. I wouldn’t put anything past John Kerry to do, he is pure sleaze.
