They don't care a whit that the lies can be discredited in a 30-second search (not how many times the 'Kerry voted against all weapons' email has been pasted here).

The 'whispermongers' know their audience won't do any filtering or research -- they'll just pass it all along like a virus.

The only good thing about this is that as junk email traffic continues to increse, backbone providers have to buy more and faster routers, and that's good for the economy.

Wow Thom, some tough quotes from your link there:

. . Teresa Heinz Kerry gave $4 million to a foundation that used the funds to support a list of "radical" groups including one with alleged links to Hamas and another that is said to have offered to provide a lawyer for Saddam Hussein. .. ..

btw, techwee, people who live in glass houses, shouldn't ride around on high horses.

way to "dot dot dot" the intro to that quote.. and leave out the ending.

"One false message claims Teresa Heinz Kerry gave $4 million to a foundation that used the funds to support a list of "radical" groups including one with alleged links to Hamas and another that is said to have offered to provide a lawyer for Saddam Hussein. But public records show otherwise."

How disingenuous can you get?

it was a JOKE.

maybe do a search on "best out-of-context quoting award" sheesh.

btw, I hadn't heard of this "THK supporting Saddam" . . not even Mul came up with that.

SO just maybe this is a rumor of a rumor . .in an effort to frame anything negative, reflective of JKerry to be thought of as part of THE VAST RIGHTWING CONSPIRACY.

actually JFK himself is a right wing conspiracy. He was created so they RW would have a straw man to bash around. Then when the backlash came, the RW would blame the LW for demonizing the RW and thereby invoking a magical spell that turns everyone into a flower-power hippie. Then these hippies would turn on themselves and mutate into horrible zombies that wear Nixon masks while robbing surf shops.

hmm...gotta tune that script treatment up a bit.

Lame, but not surprising.

Why would we believe anything posted by such a liberal organization? Clearly they have taken the most extreme arguments to prove somewhat innaccurate in an attempt to gloss over the truly accurate. It is what they call quibbling at the academy. Sort of like being caught having oral sex with an intern and testifying that you did not have sex with her....because of your personal definition of "sex" or "is".....even though you knew all along that the accusation regarded the oral sex and was true. Just because Heinz foundation money was not funnelled through the Tides Foundation does not mean that T Heinz Kerry money was not. Wonder why she will not disclose her finances like the Bushes and Cheneys did?

Ummm...could it be because after listing the first, second and third of her multi-billions that it just becomes tired and boring to know there's a woman rich enough to buy off DC entirely if she wanted?
