12. Actually, Kerry demanded Rumsfeld be fired immediately over Abu Ghraib.
And it was the second time he made the demand, the first time was for sheer incompetence for his Iraq failures.

The media underplayed it, as they did most of Kerry's toughest attacks on BushInc during the campaign. What media didn't take the effort to lie about, they deliberately chose to ignore.

But, now, with the media focusing on very few Dems' words and then ignoring completely the toughest attacks of others, I don't see how Dems can even be compared for positions when there is no discussion of their actual positions that allows for analysis or effect afterwards.

I wonder if more Dems supported Kerry at the time he demanded Rumsfeld be fired over Abu Ghraib, if that would have had a greater impact on the media's discussion of it?
