She said she didn't say "un-American activity." She didn't say she didn't say "un-American."

1. "Un-American" vs "Un-patriotic" Can we please keep score ...
How many times have the Rethugs accused anti-war protestors and Dems of being Un-patriotic? Making this news is just another Republican shill talking point. No one is talking about this except the whore media.

2. The "Un-American Activity" twist he put on her words,
(She said Un-American traits were creeping into coverage of politics) was the jerk's way of spinning it into a McCarthy-esque (House Un-American Activities Committee) phrase. It's a well known phrase and she caught the bastard trying to spin it that way.

He knew what he was doing when he "paraphrased" it that way.


I DO like the fact that a lot of media outlets are mentioning that the weasel is a Scaife-paid lapdog.

Pity the poor repug tight-*ss couldn't shove it if it were attached to a Saturn V rocket.

Go Teresa, go!

4. She did say she didn't say un-american
face it she did look like a hot head, should have held her harsh words. On the other hand, I think this is getting more attention than Cheney's f word.

5. Hothead?
It was hard to tell from the editing, but I counted 13 separate corrections, and still that twerp kept yapping the same lie. She wasn't loud, she wasn't shrewish, she just told it like it was.

Mrs. Kerry is much more of a lady than I could have been. I probalby would have slapped him silly after the fifth correction or so.
