Reply #3: Does Kerry have a defense force? [View All]

One of the things I love about the Dean campaign is the Dean Defense Forces (DDF). Well, It's not technically an official leg of the campaign, but it serves the valuable purpose of finding crap articles like this and responds with letters/emails to the writer and to the editors of the publication. I like to think that with DDF, a writer can say something negative about Dean if it's factually correct, but if words are taken out of context, or if the writer out right lies, then they will be held accountable.

Every Democratic campaign should do this and once primaries are over, it should be a complete party effort. How incredible would that be? We can't allow our candidate to be treated the way Gore was treated by the media in 2000. If we had a Gore Defense Force, then maybe the stupid internet story would have died early on.

Tomorrow I'll try to find the email or snail mail address of this particular writer and I'll post it on DU. You can take the info and post it on the Kerry blog and I'll do the same for the Dean blog. Sound good?
