One thing I learned in 2004 is that John Kerry loves to play dirty against Democrats just as much as he loathes to grapple with Republicans. After seeing unspeakable crap pulled in Iowa and New Hampshire against Dean with my own eyes, I saw Kerry play punching bag during the general campaign.
Nice to see that things haven't changed. We're dealing with a new thread by our hibernating friends over at BMG who only wake up to defend all things Kerry, and attack all things Not-Kerry. Like Democratic candidate Ed O'Reilly. Apparently, some no-name columnist sympathetic to the right said good things about O'Reilly which makes him teh sux! While most campaigns would ignore a challenger to a strong incumbent (as did Bill Galvin in 2006), the Kerry operation is going full blast with arm-twisting, gaming the system, and full-scale attacks. Failing that, they're telling people that Kerry shouldn't have to defend his record.
They don't want to debate the issues.
Let me say that again. The John Kerry campaign wants to do anything -- anything -- but debate the issues.
They don't want to explain why Kerry has notoriously poor constituent services.
They don't want to explain why Kerry voted for FISA and the Patriot Act.
They don't want to explain why Kerry opposes marriage equality.
They don't want to explain why Kerry okayed the invasion of Iraq.
They don't want to explain why Kerry voted for an unconstitutional education policy.
They don't want to explain why Kerry claims to have "led" the fight against Justice Alito...after he phoned in his "leadership" while away in Switzerland.
