John Kerry’s Un-Fairness Doctrine
**Written by Doug Powers
Keep in mind as you read this that John Kerry is a fan of the Fairness Doctrine — it’s just that some sides of the argument deserve more fairness than others.
Kerry was on Morning Joe today and exposed himself as a hobbit-phobe of the highest order, so much so that he asked the media to stop allowing the Tea Party time to voice their opinions (though I’m assuming those who call them “terrorists” and “hostage takers” will still be allowed some exposure under guidelines set in the yet to be implemented Kerry Doctrine for Selective Impartiality).
Transcript from Real Clear Politics:
SEN. JOHN KERRY: “And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it’s exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual.
“It doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what’s real, of who’s accountable, of who is not accountable, of who’s real, who isn’t, who’s serious, who isn’t?”
If saying things that aren’t factual led to no media coverage we’d never hear from John Kerry again.

Should we encourage him to primary Obama?
Nope, can’t watch. The mute button was designed for all dems and some GOP.
Never hearing from John Kerry again would be fine with me. You could throw in a couple of hundred other libtards in DC also (actually they need to be thrown out).
Oh, you mean like the notion that Keynesian spending will lift a nation out of recession?
Or that rich people are evil and don’t pay their fair share of taxes?
Hey, Jenghis Jahn: STFU!
Damon and Kerry, 2 threads with a combined IQ of zero and over used egos. Gore needed 15 minutes of fame this week too. Is this a moron convention?
Doug, you seem to forget that he served in Vietnam!
When he was sneaking into Cambodia on his Swift Boat with the Special Naval Seal Ranger Forces he thought about this very subject and figured out…….
Ain’t this the guy that threw his medals over the White House fence in an act of speaking truth to power? The media should ignore John Kerry.
Once again, I’m going to quote Dear Leader Obama: “that guy’s a jackass…”.
John Effing Moron. That’s all.
According to Lurch, it’s obviously “Free speech for me, but not for thee”.
the media has been ignoring the tea party, except on the off chance they can smear them, or call them terrorists. just what exactly is lurch saying, they should smear us more, or lay off?
I agree with Kerry, stop having Obama on everytime he says he needs airtime….
Let’s get the story right.
Is Droopy on the airwaves again?
“Not fair”.
Quoting the wonderful Ann Coulter:
Q: “What is the actual definition of the term ‘Swiftboating’?”
A: “Telling the truth about Democrats.”
Unlike John F’n Kerry we would never request that someone not get equal time. Quite the opposite, we want John to keep on talking. Keep telling American what you’re really thinking. The mic is all yours.
Anybody else noticing a pattern here?
And he thought about it some more while he was crawling through the bushes hunting deer with his double barreled shotgun.
No, this is the guy who threw someone else’s medals over the White House fence.
Hey John, why the long face? Cause you know we’re on to you and the State Run Media? Fairness doctrine but only for the libs? I agree Darthnoob–let him keep talking.
Dear Shrapnel Ass,
STFU and go away.
With a serious newsperson (i know, I am laughing too) interviewing Kerry…
Interviewer: “Senator Kerry, what are the Tea Partiers saying specifically that makes it absurd or not factual in your mind?”
Kerry: (bluster, hem, haw…) “Well, they are not being factual. They are absurd.”
Interviewer: “I am waiting for your answer. The American people demand you give answers that are not absurd or less than factual”.
Kerry: “Uh…ummmm…I have to go speak French to someone who is impressed with my Vietnam medals who will help me avoid taxes on my yacht.” (runs away)
Does anybody care what the lying, phony pile of goat dung has to say? Kerry is a moron and he epitomizes the loons on the left.
Does anybody care what the lying, phony pile of goat dung has to say? Kerry is a moron and he epitomizes the loons on the left.
Can’t even ordinary Dem voters and low-information voters see it? Doesn’t this kind of flat out demonization and shutdown of the other side ring alarm bells even for them? Isn’t it blatant enough for everyone watching to see? How blind have we become when even this kind of statement doesn’t make the scales fall from millions of people’s eyes?
Hey, John. If Mass. lowered the taxes on yachts, wouldn’t you move yours back from Rhode Island?
Now imagine Mass. is the United States, and you’re a big corporation.
Do you see what I’m getting at?
Hey Lurch, Go take your wife for a ride in your boat
and nixon sent him there when he was a member of the office of president elect!
speaking of the office of the president elect, will obama make a new seal the night after his loss to un-named republican, office of disgraced ex-president?
Why aren’t the Massachusetts voters embarrassed enough or smart enough to replace this simpleton?
Hey, MM! why isn’t this entry on the main strip??? I had to click on the Sarah Palin entry to see it! (Not that I’m complaining about that in itself)
Office of the Lame Duck
(image of bald eagle with bandaged left wing and crutches)
That pretty much describes every speech President Obama has ever given, plus most of Kerry’s own bloviating.
And they get more than their share of “equal time”. Us Tea Partier went a couple of years before the media every focused on our real message. And we had to take over 1/2 of Congress and most of the state legislatures just to get that tiny bit of “equal time”.
And to pay for that privilege, we must endure a greater dose of “equal time” allotted to others (including most of the media allocating the “equal time”) who get to call us racists and terrorists.
Here’s what a tea partier had to say about the racism charge and the terrorist charge.
Stop your braying donkey face.
Because of the slowly waning but still palpable Kennedy Idolatry Factor and the fact that his initials are JFK
That would be
ShrapnelRice Grain Nick Ass…Like, liberal progressives for example?
How about not giving time to idiots, and morons who think they know better than everyone else?
How about not giving time to pro large government elites, who would rather force laws down our throats, and force us to buy piss-poor products we neither need, nor want?
Or, how about not giving time to liars, specifically Democrats, who flame fears, put out false numbers, fail to perform their duties, and enact laws that specifically shelter lawmakers from having to live under the laws they fest on other citizens?
Or, how about not giving time to rich politicians who make ample laws that protect their assets, while they spew nonsense that the rich don’t pay their fair share? (I wonder…projection? Guilt?)
Go away, Lurch! Your 15 minutes have run out.
after voting for the drunk womanizer to the senate all those years, now you question the intelligence of mass voters?
This guy just has a way with infinitives, doesn’t he?
I was trying to think of what to say. You summed it up nicely!
I was trying to figure out what he was saying by my progressive to english translator is not working this morning.
Every time I hear someone talk about ‘swiftboating’ I think “Yeah. I’m glad the truth came out on this crapweasel.”
Better yet, an image of a fat, cowardly looking, wide-eyed yellow duck, looking around from behind an emaciated, bald eagle with ruffled feathers, and tears in it’s eyes, standing amongst our shredded founding documents?
And of course John EFFING Kerry does not give an example of what is or isn’t factual, because fact-checkers would blow his smoke back into his face. What he’s really saying is that the media must report what the collectivists in Washington, DC tells them to report, and ignore (or openly attack) anything that opposes what the oligarchy declares.
And forget to install the bilge plug please…
This man also was in the military, as the slug kerry was, read the difference in their words.
I really do like West. I thought he was wrong to vote for the debt deal though.

It never ceases to amaze me how disgraced Democrats get so quickly rehabbed to paragons of virtue by the lame stream media and in Sodom and Gomorrah on the Potomac. Many seemed to have forgotten Mr. Swift Boat’s past. He rails against those who even question global warming, yet for years he and his bud, Ted, fought against a wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts. He complains that the rich do not pay their fair share, yet he was docking his new yacht in Rhode Island to avoid his fair share due to Taxachusetts and was quite upset when the media “dared” to report it. He and his good friends, Chris and Bawney, rewrote the tax laws to “protect the consumer,” yet has enough loopholes that they can write off millions of their fair share.
Big Jahn is still smarting from being OUTED as the coward and liar he is by the Swift Boat Patriots. The only man to receive not one, but Three Purple Hearts and not have a scar to show for the sacrifice. “Well I broke my fingernail during that firefight when I dove to the hold of my boat, doesn’t that count as a wound? It really hurt, ya know.” WHAT A PUTZ.
i’m from MA and have NEVER voted for this clown ,nor the late “great” Ted Kennedy. Although I did work for Scott Brown-(the best we could get in this moonbat state)….Most people I know are not fond of this idiot but the unions get them elected time and time again.
I ask; Has Kerry paid his half million dollars in boat taxes yet? I doubt it as taxes are for me and thee but not for his royal highness. He evokes the same distaste and repels me the same way the sight of the messiah Obama does.
There is not enough slug bait in the world to pour over this slimy invertebrate!
Anyone doubt that the Democrats are ginning up the violence sending black mobs after white people (who may just be tea partiers) in Wisconsin? This is just the next phase of the Alinski tactics.
Great, now the unemployment rate goes up even further as MSNBC closes shop.
Can You believe it…a U.S. Senator, who took an oath to preserve and protect the Constitution, is now TRASHING the First Amendment. He needs to be recalled. He has failed in his oath of office.
These people are running so scared…they know that THEIR message is no longer the only one out there. They have been outed. So all they can do is slander, vilify, try to destroy us. And when we laugh at their efforts, it just makes them crazier. They are running out of ammunition and they know it.
Yeah. Until he no longer has a vote on matters that affect us and can no longer arm twist his colleagues into decisions they might otherwise not make, we care about what he’s up to in Congress.
As for what he says in public, he’s a *&^#ing idiot.
It amazing how quickly the Socialists (Dems real party name) will summarize their own despicable actions and traits…the way Kerry started talking about “absurd non-factual notions and ideas”…. that really describe hsi Socialist Party, and try to ascribe these these descriptions or accusations if you prefer, the the GOP.
Kerry, Obama, or whichever Socialist you like to use, would steal from Girl Scouts then accuse the GOP of stealing from Girl Scouts and say it must be stopped.
Too bad few if any in the GOP will call out the Socialists on what they do day in and day out. Marco Rubio being the closest thing we have to an exception to that rule.
I actually don’t want these idiots to be silenced. They are being indicted by their words. Every single word out of their mouths is on record and they will answer for them. Let ‘em talk. Given them enough rope…
Off topic…another example of the moonbat mentality. Pelosi is out there screaming that Conservatives don’t want safe food, or clean water, or National Parks. Yeah, she said that. I, for one, really HATE safe food, and I LOVE to drink dirty water, and I would HATE to take my grandkids to any national parks. Does she ever listed to what comes out of that pie-hole? Where is her family??? Why don’t they take her home and get her some help?
So Kerry’s a climate skeptic as well. Never would have guessed.
Imagine this scenario…Rick Perry and Marco Rubio on the campaign trail, going against Barack Obama and Joe Gafftastic Biden. Mince….meat!!! Picture it! This dynamic duo would be unbeatable. If we get stuck with Romney, we are done. He won’t fight.
We will be relabled “pathetic losers” if we allow ourselves to be stuck with Romney.
The left is hoping and praying for the Romney nomination. A win for Duh One.
All joking aside, this is just another, inevitable step in the decades-old plan to communize America. The leftist powers-that-be have determined that we have reached a point in the progression of their war on liberty, that sufficient numbers of Americans are apathetic and ignorant, that they can therefore begin the open campaign of silencing opposition as being illegitimate. The characterization of dissenters to their goals as being insane has already begun. Never forget, that in every socialist takeover, opposition was first ridiculed, then illegitimized, then characterized as insane, then brutally suppressed, once a significant portion of the population has been indoctrinated.
Orwell should have dated his work “2014″ instead of “1984″.
One thing these communists didn’t count on, however, was the internet. Back when they decided to bury the U.S….many years ago, they had no idea that one day, we would all be connected and could find out things! Too bad for them, as they will now fail. Knowledge is the ultimate weapon! Add truth to that and we can’t lose.
He wrote his book about how the UK would be in 1984 and he was only late by a few years.
He wasn’t writing about the USA. According to leftists, we are way behind schedule.
Kerry has a lot in common with the BBC. Both want to silence those they disagree with. When Democrats win, “elections matter”. But when they lose, like they did last November, suddenly consensus doesn’t matter any more. Instead, it is only the opinion of the ruling elite, like Kerry, that matters. With Democrats it is always “heads I win, tails you lose”.
When all the truth finally comes out, it will probably show that the rice grain in question was a cooked piece of rice. A nice, fluffly piece of ooked rice that “earned” this schlepp the Purple Heart.
Here is exclusive footage of Kerry being injured on the golf course.
Remember Kerry also was a cohort of Ayers, Dohrn (Weathermen), the Radke’s (SDS, ACORN) with his own radical group (Vietnam vets against the War) which sprung up quickly on all college campuses. He is as radical as Ayers.
There goes C-SPAN!

Thank God for the Swiftboaters! It was great to see the old films and videos of Long John Kerry in action with his commie buddies during the protests. And to hear those who served with him providing the “straight skinny” on his service records. The U.S.A. dodged a bullet bigtime.

The American Pravda Media couldn’t hide and rewrite the truth a few years ago. And it isn’t working now either–no matter what rich corruptocrat John F’N Kerry wants.

When will he go away? Easter Island misses him.
You know, the Democrats have a real problem with facts. They’re never on their side. But that doesn’t stop them from using half-truths and bald-faced-lies in their place, calling them “facts” that “no one can dispute.” Yeah, won’t be disputed if opponents never get a chance, eh, John there’s-a-bullet-wound-in-my-butt-so-I’m-a-hero Kerry.
apparently you didn’t practice that in front of the mirror or into a recorder & play it back.
I do believe that he & his wife are both mentally challenged, or suffering from dementia.
I wonder if Nazi ever pondered where the conserve in conservative comes from…?
I don’t know why, but that misspelling has me cracking up.
They can lock him in a cell with Jane Fonda and throw away the key IMHO.
Officers like Kerry were the reason enlisted men invented fragging.
With who? All they’ve had on the other side has been Mitt Romney and Scott Brown!
Me, too!
My dog was having some digestion problems the other day, so we fed him some rice. But it didn’t help. He ooked rice all over the place!
Excerpt from cabrerski’s dictionary:
ooked – adj.> description made from fingers traveling far too fast for brain dump. May be used in place of cooked, regurgitated, or that face made the first time someone eats lima beans.
ie: The baby tried the ooked carrots, gave an ooked expression, then ooked all over the high chair.
Aw, cabrerski, what a great laugh on a not-so-hot Friday!!
Upon this nation’s birth, 99% of its citizens believed in what the TP believes in now. Shows just how far we have fallen when scumbags like Kerry actually call for censorship of TP proponents. The left is completely insane.
–i’m just glad you didn’t slip & begin it w/a ‘G’

Now even the Fairness Doctrine isn’t good enough for them. They want censorship! Good luck trying to shut us up, Kerry. The more you threaten the louder we get. Can you imagine if some Republican said he wanted to censor the liberals?
The fearness doctrine. Be fearful and multiply into Dem voters.
Someone must have sent out a Free Speech memo…….
The smell of frantic concern is in the air.
A long time ago, when he most needed it, this Boston Brahmin should have been taken out to the woodshed and shown the rules of civility.
What hole did this phony, lying gigolo crawl out of.
Kerry’s quote reads like a free stream paranoid rant, very Neal Cassady.
The tea party is feared.
John F’n Kerry (who served in the Kennedy-Johnson War) sounds like the Frank Morgan character in “the Wizard of Oz”, “pay no attention to those folks over there…”
The “Fairness Doctrine” according to Democrap interpretation.
