Reply #30: Wow, the first three paragraphs are even more misleading

[WhereIsMyFreedom]

CRAWFORD, Texas - President Bush on Monday criticized a commercial that accused John Kerry of inflating his own Vietnam War record, more than a week after the ad stopped running, and said broadcast attacks by outside groups have no place in the race for the White House.

“I think they’re bad for the system,” added Bush, who had ignored calls to condemn the ad while it was on the air.

Democrats criticized the president’s remarks at the same time they worked to limit the political damage from the ad, which they denounce as a smear sanctioned by Bush and his high command.


Granted it does get better after this beginning, but if you only read the first three paragraphs you are definitely mislead. They make it sound like Bush finally condemns the ad and says that they are bad for the system and the Democrats criticize that. Neither are true. Bush doesn't condemn the ad and that is what the Democrats are criticizing.
