I didn’t say that….
In a chapter right out of Liberal Politics 101, Teresa Heinz Kerry has finally entered the fray. While the major networks are doing their best to portray her as the second-coming of Mother Teresa, it doesn’t take much to uncover what she’s really all about. Perhaps she’s the second-coming of Madame Hillary. In a speech Sunday evening in Boston, Teresa said:
“We need to turn back some of the creeping, un-Pennsylvanian and sometimes un-American traits that are coming into some of our politics,” she told her fellow Pennsylvanians at a Sunday night reception at the Massachusetts Statehouse.
While I think we’d all agree the tone should be turned back, one must wonder if she really meant it.
Minutes later, Colin McNickle, the editorial page editor of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, questioned her on exactly what she meant by the term “un-American,” according to a tape of the encounter recorded by WTAE Channel 4 Action News. Heinz Kerry said “I didn’t say that” several times to McNickle.
Denial ain’t just a river in Africa. Teresa, if you’re going to blatantly lie, at least make sure there weren’t
cameras recording the event. As if that weren’t enough, Teresa then decides the tone of politics for this moment should be turned right back up….
When she faced McNickle again a short time later, he continued to question her, and she replied, “You said something I didn’t say. Now shove it.”
Ok, so much for changing the tone of political discussions. She, in fact DID say it, and he questioned her about the comment. Typical, she didn’t have any substance to back up her outrageous accusations, so she resorted to name calling and third-grade comebacks. Nice discourse, Teresa. To make matters even more typical of the liberal playbook, her goons went on the offensive:
Marla Romash, Teresa Heinz Kerry spokeswoman, told WTAE-TV’s Scott Baker, “This was sheer frustration, aimed at a right-wing rag, that has consistently and purposely misrepresented the facts in reporting on Mrs. Kerry and her family.”
And there you have it, folks. This reporter wasn’t misrepresenting the facts, it’s on tape to prove it. She just couldn’t respond, because her accusation was pure crap. She thought she could sling it out there without being challenged, and when asked about it, she caved into an immature, bratty liberal. Notice the trend? When liberals commit crimes, get caught in lies or just lose their cool when they can’t handle questions about their ridiculous, unproven accusations, the standard operating procedure is always to turn it back on their opponents. Remember Hillary calling the Lewinsky scandal a “vast right wing conspiracy”? Now Teresa’s people are calling this “frustration at a right-wing rag”. It’s like deja vu.
Here’s more of her speech:
“We have to go back to those days when we can do things properly, for the people need it. My prayers for you, for me, for the country, for the world, are that we keep this at a high level, with dignity, with respect and with a great idealism and courage that took our forefathers to build this great nation.”
According to Teresa, “high level, dignified, respectful, idealistic and courageous” discourse is shoving a reporter and telling him to “shove it”. Only in the liberal world.
