The right very effectively smeared Kerry by discounting his Purple Hearts.
When left wingers try the same it usually backfires.

WTF are you putting in your Wheaties and where can I get some?
the left OWN the drive-by media and have been SMEARING everybody including their own party!
I have not heard any "Republican attack ads" that were not the complete and unvarnished truth.
Kerry, despite his three purple hearts (that he got in Vietnam, in case he hasn't mentioned it in the last 5 minutes) NEVER LOST EVEN ONE SINGLE DAY OF WORK for the Three Whole Months (or was it seven? I forget) that he was there.
I have friends that were THERE. growing up I had mentors that served two or more terms in Vietnam.
non served with (or under for that matter) Kerry, but more than a couple of the people I know were wounded over there. Only one do I recall Ever received a purple heart, and he was hospitalized for 9 MONTHS due to injuries sustained In COMBAT.
Kerry, never missed a day.
yeah, right. right-wingers are SOOO much better at propaganda... all they have to do is Tell The Truth.
which is why the LEFT won't ever try it, and you get smear campaigns and nothing but propaganda out the wazzo from the left

You cant be serious. The left are masters of propaganda and get away with lying all the time with the complicit media at their call. The right seldom gets away with such things and seldom even tries because they typically aren't die hard political beings like the left.
The reason it worked on Kerry is because he is a liar and his 3 purple hearts were and are very questionable and as a veteran I have no respect for the guy.

Surely you are joking. The Left are masters of 'perception management' and the right cannot compete on that field. Here are a few examples:
John Kerry was backed for Prez by the Communist Party USA. The Left sure kept that one quiet and the right did not capitalize on it.
Saddam Hussein's own audio tapes revealed his ongoing nuclear program beyond the year 2000, yet the left buried that story with endless prattle about Cheney's hunting accident.
George Bush has moved this nation steadily towards a renewable, geothermal-generated hydrogen energy economy, free from carbon emissions. Yet the left keep insisting we need to get 'started' on a renewable energy future as they do all they can to disrupt hydrogen development. The newsies, loyal to the left, say nothing of our progress on hydrogen.
And so on...

Don't confuse exposing with propaganda or smearing. The conservatives are armed with facts instead of innuendo. Their exposures of the left are very specific. The left can only smear with unverifiable generalities.

Well, us "right wingers" usually have proof to back us up, such as John Kerry crying like a baby to get his purple heart for just a mere scratch, or how bout this one... His testimony against his band of brothers under oath, accusing them atrocities, or how he's honored in the Commie museum in Vietnam... This list goes on and on. It's facts. Unlike Dan Blather's fake documents that got his butt fired.

Well, Kerry threw his Purple Hearts away, so he was his worst enemy,
...but to answer your question, I think the left are better at propaganda myself..., never answering a question, criticizing others because they have no Ideas, burying their past, etc.

Kerry smeared himself. He is a snooty Northeast, liberal that looks down on just plain folks. He's a Boston Brahman. He said he would release his medical records, still waiting.
Just like Kerry, you and the libs mock Petreaus because he is in the military. According to Kerry, that makes him stupid.
How do you feel about him doing nothing about the "Don't taser me bro" incident.
What's your propaganda on that?
Could you imagine if that happened when Bush was speaking? You and your peeps would be going ballistic.
"Bush is stealing our freedoms", wha, wha, wha.

The right has always been better coordinated than the left. The left is all over the dart board. It's generally the complete lack of coordination that hurts them.

Because the left lies outright and is caught and forced to recant. Simple. Kerry smeared himself...we just pointed out where and how.
