Anatomy of another rightwing lie/smear of John Kerry:

Everyone can see wstera and tonto posted a claim spread amongst many rightwing sites that claims Kerry said he met with ALL (meaning every one, the entire body) the security council members. Here is Kerry's actual quote.

" I believe in my heart of hearts and in my gut that this president fails that test in Iraq. And I know this because I, personally, and others were deeply involved in the effort with other countries to bring them to the table. I met with the Security Council of the United Nations in the week preceding the vote in the Senate."

Okay, where is the word "ALL" in this quote? What does Kerry's quote mean? It means he talked to at least the three most important members of the security council, either in person, teleconference or a combination. Not necessarily all together in the same room, but in some combination.

So where's the lie? Okay, maybe Kerry should have been more specific, and maybe he exaggerated a bit, but who cares? This is just a typical lie of the rightwing fabricated out of semantical assumptions and misinterpretations.

Just like the big lie that Al Gore said he "invented" the internet. Never said it. The true quote of Gore's was absolutely true. The rightwing just couldn't stand to give Gore credit for it so they decided to attack him for his strength. Just like in Kerry's case. Kerry is a terrific at foreign relations issues and does his homework. Bush isn't and doesn't.
