One writer here says Kerry was a shitty candidate who never challenged the Swift Boat Liars from down in Texas. I understand that. I've heard it an awful lot, but how many remember Kerry saying if he accepted the nomination in July he would be short of money in August?
He should not have accepted the nomination in July and I don't know why he did, yet few have discussed this. Bill O'Reilly said he should. O'Reilly did his best to make it sound like a silly idea and that makes it a good one.
Kerry didn't have the money to challenge the Swift Boat Liars.
As for this article, I think too many left leaning publications go far out of their way to look fair. In doing so though, they discourage those who most often read them. My own local newspaper is like that. They must have George Will speak to the issues, and Thomas Sowell and so we get less Thomas Krugman or Molly Ivins. Their political cartoon is almost always leaning republican.
And yet, there are those who remain true, like Democracy Now!, a television news program on LINK TV. There were many there after the election absolutely adamant that the election had been stolen. I would like to see Mr. Manjoo tell them it isn't so.
