Ever since John Kerry has been nominated by the DNC, the Republicans have waged a war on his record, his character, and even his wife. They have spread around blatant lies and gotten the non-thinking portion of their base to go around chanting phrases like "flip flop." It is this complacency and unwillingness to seek truth that has been Bush's best ally in this campaign.
I have seen so many of these urban legends posted on this board and sent to me by my Bush-blind family, so I thought I'd take a moment to point out a few of the more prevalent pieces I've been confronted with, many of which have been touted as truth on this message board.
Recently sent around the media and every AOL inbox in America: John Kerry owns an illegal Chinese assault rifle.
No, he doesn't.

Received this one about 10 times and saw it posted in here: Teresa Heinz-Kerry is exporting jobs abroad while John Kerry says we need to stop such practices.
No, she's not.

One of the more commonly accepted and posted in this forum numerous times: John Kerry "voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment in modern history."
Nope.

The show-stopper: Kerry has "flip-flopped" numerous times in his position on Iraq.
Wrong.

How are we supposed to have a real debate on anything when one side's position is based largely on misinformation that they refuse to research?
