I found this link over at Little Green Footballs. It shows just how desperate, how pathetic the Kerry campaign has become.
Their list of “143 Lies, Mischaracterizations, Distortions, And Half-Truths” HAS to have been written by a mole from the GOP. It’s called a list of lies, but it’s merely 143 “talking points” from the convention.
That’s it. No rebuttal, no individual attention, no supporting evidence. Just listing the talking points under the title “Lies, Mischaracterizations, Distortions, And Half-Truths” is all the proof they think they need to reinforce the True Believers, sway the Doubters, and utterly discredit the Heretics.
And let’s take a closer look at some of these “Lies, Mischaracterizations, Distortions, And Half-Truths.”

Update: The Kerry campaign has now yanked the press release in question. Gee, I wonder why…
Damn, I wish I’d grabbed a screen shot. I’m sure there are a couple dozen floating around the blogosphere. I sincerely hope the Bush campaign puts up one…
Update 2: Thanks to LGF reader Jemima, a copy of the original press release can be found here.
(sigh)Update 3: And it’s now it’s back up. I’m gonna grab a screencap of it before they flip-flop on it yet again.
(sigh again)Update 4: After the FLIP, now comes the FLOP. It’s down again. PDF screenshot available here.

Right on, I love it ..
I couldn’t believe this either when I read it, so I think you must be right, someone has hacked Kerry’s campaign headquarters and started making fake press releases. Who in their right mind would consider calling these lies:
** I can tell you that every contribution from every nation is important
** ..allies that deserve the respect of all Americans, not the scorn of a politician.
** Schools are focused on success, and children are learning.
Strange, I read a few of the points and they all seem very legit. Sounds like you’re justifying Bush’s complete incompetance and corruption.
Randy, please don’t be any more stupid than absolutely necessary. First, you say you “read a few of the points” and then “they all seem very legit.”
I see you failed to take my advice earlier: “it’s better to be silent and thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.”
I was tempted to tell you to “put up or shut up,” but then I realized I was giving you far more credit than I should.
And one final point, Randy… have you noticed that you seem to put more thought (a very relative term; both quantities seem quite miniscule) into commenting over here than on your own blog? I went there once to play, but all I found were links of stories you found interesting, occasionally punctuated by a single sentence or two of actual “commentary.” Absolutely nothing to work up any interest.
Is that it, Randy? Your own site bores you so much, you need to come here to find anything of interest?
So don’t “put up or shut up,” Randy. I know you’re incapable of the former, so just do the latter. Just shut up. I put up with enough petty annoyances in my life as is.

(Note: I am not banning Randy, nor am I asking that he be banned. My contempt for him does not reach the point where I would violate my principles. But I see nothing wrong with expressing just how unwelcome I find him…)
Randy is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
Madfish, I notice people tend to use a lot of old, tired jokes when they choose to denigrate Randy.
How appropriate. He’s hardly worth the effort of originality.
J.
Randy is a stoopid doo-doo brain poopie head who’s face is as dumb as a butt.
(Just for cross-referential purposes, I have some thoughts of my own about this list. I posted them on my site.)
One of Kerry’s flunkies tried to talk about the 140 lies of the GOP while appearing on Fox News Sunday. Chris Wallace didn’t give him the chance. I think Wallace is tired of hearing the DNC talking points.
Seems like the Kerry camp for once has realized their error and has removed the link from the website…
It does show up in the search… hopefully somebody in the blogosphere has a copy in their cache they can put up?
Kamp Kerry has yanked the page, it seems.
Thanks, Jay, for sharing it.
No screenshot saved, although I now wish I had (saved a screenshot), since I saw this earlier. “Saving” this sort of rhetorical chanting by Democrats isn’t among my favored activities, so I tend to quickly surf on whenever I happen upon it. Otherwise, I’d have so much crud on my harddrive and/or File Manager, I’d be overrun.
I was just reading a few of the more well-visited Democrat blog sites and there’s moreorless more of this there…~perhaps they’ll delete their content, too~.
~;-}
It’s still there for me. I grabbed a couple of screen shots and saved the complete web page.

No, they haven’t. It was 404 for a while this afternoon but it’s back in all its glory:
http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/releases/pr_2004_0905a.html
But do grab screenshots/copies just in case they decide to yank it for real.
Jay Tea: Randy is just an easy target for a lazy wit [like mine], however, in the future, I will endeavor to assign the appropriate priority to original rebuttals of his illogical, incomprehensible spewage.
Willie, don’t bother. It’s such a perfect summation of the twit. Besides, he’s so clueless, he probably doesn’t even realize they’re old lines being recycled on him.
Fox News Channel reports that a new Gallup poll shows Bush leading Kerry 52% to 45%. I hear that the Dems already have 60 Minutes working on a segment about Bush’s National Guard service. And the Clintonistas are now practically running the Kerry campaign.
Kausfiles quotes a “Kerry campaign staffer” yesterday who smirked that they were going to “attack Bush’s lies”. My question is, did the old Kerry people do this, or the new Clinton “pros from Dover”? If it was the Mary Beth Cahill crew, why the hell are they still there? (I’m not complaining, mind you.) And if it was the Clinton hitters, is that the best they can do?
But OM will be mounting a coordinated attack by desperately trying to breathe life into the moribund Bush-AWOL story, and acting all breathless and shocked about the release of the book Kitty Kelley wrote on acid. “Well isn’t it news?”, you ask. It would be, if OM would go gaga over, say, a Kitty Kelley book about how John Kerry was seduced by his mother, sodomized by his boarding school classmates, smoked opium in his Senate office, and wets his bed to this day. “Trash!” “Lies!” “Hokum!” would say the lords of the Old Media. But now it will be, “Shocking Allegations!”, “Devastating Charges!” and “Can Bush Survive?” I mean, after all, it IS Bush, so it’s okay.
Kitty Kelley’s picture is in the dictionary under the term “trashy gossip-monger”. She’s already notorious for her smear jobs on Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, the British royals, and the Reagans. Actually, I wasn’t really aware she was still around, did she even publish anything during the 1990’s?
Jumbo, you’re right. The non-partisan news media are already working on breathing new life into the Bush-AWOL story. 60 Minutes is airing a segment on the story and Associated Press appears to be covering it almost daily. They continue to repeat the same, tired allegations and the same, tired insinuations.
Oops! It’s gone again. And, Google doesn’t have a cached version.
Can this be considered a Web-based flip-flop?
Can anyone explain how to delete a Google Cached page or pages? I mean, just asking, you know, just curious. Simple, harmless, aimless question here. Just wanted to know. You know.
Here’s my contribution…I accessed the last link (this thread, initially found to be active, so I did my part and saved a screen shot)…something I find particularly amusing:
“John Kerry for President — Page Not Found [404]”

———————————————
For the astute observer, you can still see the remaining link for my last driver roll-back from nVidia, up there in my browser.
I read a few of the points, and it only makes sense that Kerry would take it down.
That list looks like a bunch of good news for Republicans.
Each statement stands as a high point during the GOP convention.
Thanks DumDems!!!
