Campaign Jiujitsu

It seems that some Freepers have been complaining that Dubya's AWOL problems are getting all the press, while charges that Kerry had an affair are not being investigated equally. (Strangely, some of them are levelling such charges on Calpundit, who -- to the best of my knowledge -- never claimed to be a non-partisan observer.)

Well, if they want to go into the "inconsistencies" of the right-wing slime attack, I say -- bring it on!
In a separate statement in the US, her parents, Terry and Donna Polier, dismissed the "completely false and unsubstantiated" allegations about their daughter.

The statement did not address purported quotes by Ms Polier's parents in the British tabloid The Sun that were harshly critical of Senator Kerry. But in a later statement, Terry Polier said he was misquoted by the newspaper and that his wife never talked to the reporter.
So much for the "sleazeball" quote.

Please, Freepers, do keep this story going. All of us on the left are truly eager to follow it to its actual source. Thanks muchly.

Kudos to Counterspin for keeping a spotlight on the story behind the non-story.
