It makes my blood boil when I see RW word-twisting crap on DU
"He voted for it before he voted against it." Doesn't it make them feel dirty to suck words out of RW asshole and regurgitate them?

1. Nice comparison
And so true. They should feel like whores. But they don't.

I consider them enemies. Whether they are trolls or have some other agenda, they are enemies. Period.

3. Feh! They are now upset that Kery IS speaking out. Nothing pleases these
people and so I posted. They just don't like JK and are still fighting the Primary. They need to grow up!

2. What disturbs me even more is revisionnist history?
Such as Kerry never said that he would not have gone to war or things like that. New threads have kept appearing today on this theme and nobody (or nearly nobody) cares they just lie.

4. That's what disgusts me so much
They lie, using partial truths, and in their lies, they say "Kerry is a ***** liar!" This is precisely what the RW does, textbook Newspeak.

When DUers resemble Karl Rove more than Kerry (who is always forthright to the point of even, unfortunately, giving them more words to twist), there is something more than disturbing about that.

5. No matter how
many fact-packed rebuttals are posted to combat the lies, the lies keep coming.

It's awful.

I feel sick.

Yay, mods.

7. Also some of the posters have posted this before
and people here have posted valid legitimate quotes via links they can verify. What's weird is that Kerry has stayed consistent, changing on issues gradually over time in a way that shows growth, not rapid flip flops.

They ignore that many Vermonters have said that the current Howard Dean is very very different than the moderate governor they knew for 12 years.

Clark voted for the conservative Reagan, paranoid Nixon, evil Bush I, but now he is the perfect liberal unlike Kerry who is Republican-lite.

They are now even pushing Edwards as a progressive.

11. About Edwards.
Just remind them that Edwards co-sponsored IWR.

I accept the IWR vote and I will not bash Edwards about it. However when Edwards supporters pop up in the middle of a thread where Kerry is being bashed for voting for IWR - after reputedly agonizing over the decision and even asking Bush for certain assurances - I will not let it go unmentioned that Edwards co-sponsored IWR. Funny how no one steps in to bash him about that though, huh.

8. You can tell when John steps up to the plate and hits a homerun.
It pisses the Freepers (both lefty & righty) off really badly. I'd say judging by some of the threads in GD/GD-P, he hit a grand slam today!

9. I used your words sort of in a reply, hope you don't mind
They SHOULD feel dirty. They are disgusting and I hate them.

10. Don't mind at all
Even though I don't know what post you're talking about.

I was just speaking generally. :)

13. Not just DU, Kos as well
I just about pop a blood vessel every time. I end up cyber screaming at the person that I got enough of that crap from the RW during the election, I don't need it from what is supposed to be my own side!

Ugh. I'm with you. Boiling blood.
