Bush Campaign

So maybe the activities of a 527 group is too complicated. How about this direct slander: The new Bush ad (paid for by B/C) says that Kerry didn't go to a single intelligence committee hearing after September 11th -- which is true. But the ad implies that he was a member of the committee and then skipped the hearings, which is not true. Kerry hasn't been a member of the committee since 2000.

All technically* true, though. And if I were to say that I can't prove that George Bush isn't a Saudi agent, that would also be technically true. Wonderful, isn't it?

You can't prove a negative.

The Bush Campaign ad that states that John Kerry was absent from the Senate Intelligence Committee was referring to the year following the first World Center Attack in 1993. You should be aware that people smarter than you (like a river rock) review these ads. Just what does your Mom use to get the drool stains out of you shirts?

Peace.
