Media Matters for America document the outright lies of right wing media
Edited on Mon May-03-04 04:14 PM by MSgt213
Four days after her nationally syndicated column calling Senator John Kerry a "communist apologist" appeared in newspapers and on The Heritage Foundation's website Townhall.com, Linda Chavez, in a May 2 interview with FOX & Friends host Mike Jerrick, claimed that she had not called Kerry a "communist apologist":

HOST: But isn't it too strong to call him a communist apologist?

CHAVEZ: Well, I didn't call him that actually.

HOST: But others have.

CHAVEZ: Others have.

In her April 27 column, Chavez referred to Kerry's "role" as that of "an apologist for the communists we were fighting in Vietnam"; later in the column, she wrote, "The young Kerry seems to have fallen in the latter category, communist apologist."

2. I feel for the people who think they know what they are talking about
because they watch this woman and others like her and Rush and O'Liely and think they have some grasp of what is really happening.
