KERRY: I'VE NEVER USED THE HARSHEST WORD "LIE" - UNTIL NOW [10/04 10:33 PM] Kerry Spot During the first debate: JIM LEHRER: "New question, Senator Kerry. Two minutes. You've repeatedly accused President Bush, not here tonight but elsewhere before, of not telling the truth about Iraq. Essentially, of lying to the American people about Iraq. Give us some examples of what you consider to be his not telling the truth." SEN. KERRY: "Well, I've never, ever used the harshest word as you just did." The newest ad from John Kerry: Narrator: “George Bush lost the debate. Now he’s lying about it. This is what you heard John Kerry really say: John Kerry: “The president always has the right for pre-emptive strike.” John Kerry: “I will hunt and kill the terrorists, wherever they are.” Narrator: “But here’s something new about George Bush – newspapers report he withheld key intelligence information from the American public so he could overstate the threat Iraq posed. Bush rushed us into war. Now we’re paying the price. It’s time for a fresh start.” John Kerry: “I’m John Kerry and I approved this message.” Of course, Kerry had used the word "lie." "Kerry also told a New Hampshire newspaper editorial board Friday that Bush had 'lied' about his reasons for going to war in Iraq, a word Kerry has been reluctant to use publicly for months. Yesterday he said he did not plan to use the word again." (Patrick Healy, "Kerry Camp Lowers N.H. Expectations Behind In Polls, Senator Now Seeks Spot In 'Top Two,'" The Boston Globe, 12/8/03) "This administration has lied to us. They have misled us. And they have broken their promises to us. The president promised to the people and the Congress that he would build an international coalition, respect the United Nations' process and only go to war as a last resort. I will tell you that from my war fighting experience, I believe there is a test for a president as to how you go to war. And that test is whether or not you can look in the eyes of parents and say to them, 'I did everything possible to avoid the loss of your son and daughter, but we had no other choice in order to protect the security of our nation,' and I know this president fails that test in Iraq." (Sen. John Kerry, Campaign Event, Claremont, NH, 9/20/03) I never used the word "lie," until I did. And then I did, and then I didn't.

Good Lord, Michael Moore's standards are higher than CBS's! That's gotta be embarrassing.
