John Edwards Lovefest Volume 1:
"Most of the reaction to Vice President Dick Cheney's most recent outrageous statement has been to condemn (or, in the case of the Bush campaign, to backpedal away from furiously) the libelous accusation he made. Here's how it was reported by the Associated Press:

'It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States.'

That's more obscene than anything Dick said in the Senate.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards quickly responded to the accusation. The Kerry administration, he said, 'will keep American safe, and we will not divide the American people to do it.' He also condemned Cheney's filthy smear:

'Dick Cheney's scare tactics crossed the line today, showing once again that he and George Bush will do anything and say anything to save their jobs. Protecting America from vicious terrorists is not a Democratic or Republican issue and Dick Cheney and George Bush should know that.'"
