Colo. GOP’s Statement on Kerry Draws Fire
2004-04-24
Democrats are furious about a statement by Republicans saying that comparing one of their candidates to presidential candidate John Kerry would be worse than comparing someone to the Ku Klux Klan.
big-time F**k-up by the NYT
The dispute started when The New York Times "inadvertently" published a photo of Republican Senate candidate Pete Coors above a story about a KKK member who murdered a black sharecropper. The Times published a weak correction Saturday. Cinamon Watson, spokeswoman for Coors, said the error was "so outrageous it’s kind of funny. It could have been worse. Pete could have been identified as John Kerry."
Oo-La-La! heh heh
Chris Gates, chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party, hysterically demanded an do-over apology. He said Democrats are "out there campaigning positively on the issues, and the Republicans can’t help but resort to the lowest level of insult and name-calling."
"He betrayed America" - remember that?
Kerry spokesman Phil Singer said the comment was "the kind of thing people hate about Liberal politics." Coors, head of the Coors brewing empire, is seeking the Republican nomination to fill the seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who is retiring.
Thank God for Peter Coors, who not only praises God, but makes better beer than Anheuser-Busch

#3  Good I'm glad the GOP is running a candidate with a recognizable for that open seat. Even hu8ngover guys will recognize that name. Sorry about Nighthorse's illness.

You have got to be f*cking kidding. Lying is one thing, pols are expected to do that. But this is like defying the laws of physics.

#1  Things must be a little terse in the Kerry Kamp for the humor low level light to already be blinking.
