I am the truth squad. deal with it.

You are, by far and away, the most over inflated windbag that I've ever encountered online. You can keep screeching and squawking here 24/7, for all I care...

Don't get so confident, missy. You won't be the final judge of whether this forum deals with you or not. I've had at least 4 complaints from others that your posts have become annoying to them. It's getting very close to giving everyone an early Labor Day gift. Submit fewer posts to Kerry's Unfit or you're on ban, so we can fumigate the Kerry pollution from the forum.

Proof of liberal lies: AP Retracts 'Clinton Booed' Story

The Associated Press has retracted its Friday afternoon report that a crowd at a Bush rally in West Allis, Wisc., booed when President Bush offered ex-President Clinton best wishes for a speedy recovery from coronary bypass surgery scheduled for next week.

In a report that moved on the AP wire at 9:27 a.m. Saturday, the AP said:

"This is a correction to an incorrect story posted by AP on Friday stating the crowd booed the President when he sent his good wishes. The crowd, in fact, did NOT boo."
A transcript of Bush's remarks released by the White House noted applause after Bush offered Clinton "best wishes for a swift and speedy recovery."

ABC Radio Network news also confirmed that the Clinton reference was applauded, not jeered.

In its original version of the story, the AP had reported: "Bush's audience of thousands in West Allis, Wis., booed. Bush did nothing to stop them."

The erroneous report prompted a firestorm of outrage on interactive news Web sites like FreeRepublic.com, where posters complained of media bias and circulated contact numbers to protest the AP's false claim.

In a revised version of the story that moved on the wire late Friday, the AP said: "The crowd reacted with applause and with some 'ooohs,' apparently surprised by the news that Clinton was ill."
