Kerry's Lies:

Kerry Lies About Security Council Meeting, October 25, 2004
The Washington Times reports that John Kerry's oft-repeated claim to have met with the UN Security Council before the Iraq war is a lie. RedState.org has a lot more on the subject. This story has been brewing for awhile in the blogosphere, and now it has broken into the mainstream press. Why does it matter? Kerry tells the lie as part of his standard talk about how he would be better at coalition-building and foreign...

Making Fun Of Kerry's Latest Lie, October 21, 2004
Click to enlarge John Kerry's false claim that President Bush secretly plans to start a military draft after the election is not just a sleazy lie from a desperate politician, but it's also very hypocritical as Kerry himself proposed mandatory "national service" for American high-school students. Essentially, a community-service draft. Cox & Forkum has the details and links....

Taxes, Lies and Videotape, October 11, 2004
Two ads from the Bush campaign highlight President Bush's strong economic record and Kerry's strong record of voting for higher taxes. Nearly Two Million Reasons (shown at left - hit the play button) touts the success of Bush's economic leadership. Clockwork, notes that in his nearly-20-year Senate career, John Kerry has voted for higher taxes an average of once every three weeks. Speaking of taxes, BlogsForBush has proof that John Kerry was lying when he...

Kerry: I Was For The First Gulf War After I Voted Against It, September 27, 2004
John Kerry's "Christmas in Cambodia" story is a lie about something that happened did not happen nearly 36 years ago. But more recently Kerry claimed, falsely, to have been at the signing of the truce at Safwan, Iraq, at the end of Gulf War I. Ed Morrissey has the details as the blogosphere smokes out the proof that Kerry lied. [Hat tip: Michael Williams]. Short version: Kerry, in a televised interview in 2001, said, "I...

Vietnam Vet: Kerry Made Me Lie About Atrocities, September 15, 2004
A veteran who testified to John Kerry years ago about atrocities he committed in the Vietnam War is now claiming that the Kerry coerced him to tell lies.Steven Pitkin, an Army combat veteran, told FOX News that Kerry coached him and others to say they had witnessed war crimes, even after Pitkin told Kerry that he had not. "Before they started the camera, they told me, 'We need you to speak about the atrocities that...

The Dog Days of August, August 24, 2004
John Kerry is having a horrible month because of his inept handling of questions surrounding his Vietnam service record, and the story isn't putting the Big Media in the best light, either. The Chicago Sun Times' John O'Sullivan dissects the mainstream media's attempts to protect John Kerry against the allegations of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and how the "freelance journalists" of the Internet (read: bloggers) pushed the story ahead anyway. Here's an excerpt,...

Payback, August 20, 2004
John Kerry is learning that payback is what Sherman said war was.Hugh Hewitt: "This is devastating. The day after John Kerry complains about having his war service questioned, the new ad underscores how Kerry did far worse to thousands of vets. Kerry built himself up over the years into a brave captain traveling deep into Cambodian waters to run guns, drop off SEALs and CIA men (hatless) etc. He did so after condemning a generation...

The Cowardly Liar, August 18, 2004
The Kerry campaign trotted out Sen. Tom Harkin to defend Kerry against questions about his military service. And odd choice as Harkin once lied about having flown combat missions in Vietnam. Actually, he lied more than once, but was eventually caught. Odder still: the press can't seem to dig up the facts as fast as unpaid bloggers....

Christmas in Cambodia Update, August 18, 2004
Kerry lied. The media's failure to investigate his claims about Vietnam stands in marked contrast to the media's incessant braying after President Bush to answer questions about his National Guard service during the same war....

Christmas in Cambodia Update, August 16, 2004
John Kerry's lie about spending Christmas 1968 in Cambodia now making it into the mainstream media. You say it doesn't matter? Of course it does. He says you can't trust George W. Bush, but Kerry lied on the Senate floor in order to influence U.S. foreign policy. While all of the recent probes by the Senate Intelligence Committee, the 9/11 Commission and the British government show that Bush did not lie about Iraq and its...

Media AWOL on "Christmas in Cambodia" Tale, August 13, 2004
As one of the bloggers who covered the "Bush was AWOL!" stupidty in-depth, I, too, am enjoying the mainstream media expose its pro-Kerry bias so completely by its complete ingnoring of Kerry's "Christmas in Cambodia" lie. Neal Boortz has a good column on it....

Christmas (Not Really) In Cambodia, August 12, 2004
It's getting worse for John Kerry on his Christmas in Cambodia lie. And worse. But the New York Times and the Washington Post are still covering for him, even though one of the accusations made against Kerry by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has now proven to be true. Donald Sensing has a long and worthy post on Kerry's Cambodia lie. Here's a current Google news search of the media coverage...

Christmas in Cambodia, August 11, 2004
This much we know: John Kerry lied on the Senate floor in 1986 about spending Christmas 1968 on a secret, illegal mission in Cambodia. And he's lied about it repeatedly. He's probably lying about it now. For more details on this developing story, check Instapundit regularly - he's doing some incredible blog-journalism and putting Big Media to shame on this story. His lastest post on Kerry's Cambodia lie is here. This story is important, for...

College Enrollment Rate Suggests Kerry Wrong, June 29, 2004
I was thinking about yesterday's story in USA Today about how college has become more affordable for the middle class in the last few years - despite John Kerry's now provably false claim otherwise - and my memory kept telling me I ought to check college enrollment stats. If John Kerry is right, then college enrollment would be down. But if USA Today is right, then college enrollment would be up or at least steady....

It's (Another Lie) For the Children, June 28, 2004
Some politicians and special-interest groups are telling you we need to do something about the rising cost of college tuition. Presidential wannabe John Kerry, for example, says you should vote for him so he can fix the problem of rising college tuition. On his campaign website (economy issues link), Kerry claims that, "Over the past two years, the cost to attend a public four-year college has increased by 10 percent, and the cost to attend...

John Kerry's Economic Woes, June 23, 2004
USA Today slams John Kerry for "talking down the economy," and says his claims are belied by the facts of a now-booming economy. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal's front page has a story, Recovery Forces Democrats to Refocus (sub. req.), that starts with this:With the economy now growing at a rapid clip, Democrats are losing a pillar of their 2004 campaign argument: that a weak recovery is making it unusually hard for Americans to find...

Kerry's Heresy, March 29, 2004
John Kerry, campaigning in a church without provoking the media into howls of anger at the breaching of the separation of church and state, accused America's "national leadership) (Read: President Bush) of having a "dead" Christian faith, in a spectacular misapplication of one of the most beautiful - and most misapplied - verses in the Bible. LaShawn Barber has some great commentary on the incident. The flap revolves around James 2:14-17, which says......

Do The Math: Kerry's Numbers Don't Add Up, March 24, 2004
If elected, John Kerry would have to raise taxes by $1 trillion more than he's already planning to do, just to cover all his proposed new government spending and keep his promise to cut the federal budget deficit in half over four years. It's a tax - and credibility - gap....

Naming Names, March 15, 2004
Sen. John Kerry refuses to name the names of the "foreign leaders" who he claims have endorsed his presidential bid. And a few days ago he dismissed a citizen's question asking for the names by noting the man was a Republican and a Bush supporter and it wasn't any of his business. Well how conveeeenient. But how utterly detestable. But, ahem, Sen. Kerry, it is you who decided you want to be my president. It...

Kerry Recycles Dean's Lie, March 10, 2004
Sen. John F. Kerry, the Democratic presidential almost-nominee, is recyling a lie spread back in January by Howard Dean. Kerry - the F stands for False Witness - said in remarks to the AFL-CIO Executive Council Meeting:If you add up the true costs of this President’s economic policies, you get a Bush Tax of higher property taxes, higher fees, higher health care costs – at the same time middle class incomes are going down. In...

The Lies of John Kerry, March 04, 2004
With this post I have launched a new category here at HobbsOnline, "Kerry's Lies." Posts there will also be cross-posted in the "Campaign Season" category. I intend to make the Kerry's Lies file the definitive repository of the best of the blogosphere on that topic - good enough for pro-Bush bloggers to make it a prominent and permanent link throughout the campaign. But I can't do it all by myself - this needs to be...
