Okay, Orca. You just repeated the same lie. Get a clue. Kerry responded IMMEDIATELY to the first smearvet ad. Immediately. He then left fighting dirty tricksters up to his boat crew and Max Cleland. He also got John McCain to cal them "dishonest and dishonrable" and tried to get Bob Dole to condemn them too. That should have taken care of it, but the rightwing put all their eggs in the smear basket and lured the mainstream media into the brouhaha. Once smearvets were getting equal time on primetime TV shows to spread their lies, there was nothing Kerry could do. They even had evidence some of Bush's PR people were behind the smearvets, but once the smears got repeated a million times, the smear jockeys had done just enough damage. I have told you, I suggested Kerry hold a press conference and clear up all the charges, but they refused. Why? Becuse it would have stopped the whole campaign in its tracks and lowered Kerry's status to John O'Neill's pig-in-the-mud level. And that could not be done. Kerry could only take on Bush personally, not his dirty tricks teams. if he had gone after O'Neill prsonally, he would have fallen into a smear trap and O'Neill would have been elevated to Kerry's "equal".
