Yea, I was astonished that they would so blantantly lie like that...particularly when it was so easy to disprove.  AP is a bad organization, more biased than most, and you always need to take their "stuff" with a boatload of salt.

This is the video on C-Span that shows the Springfield Post Convention. Kerry is clueless. Pay special attention to the egotistical songs he chose to introduce himself. This guy is a Loser with a capital L. Note his final line is a biggest flip flop of all. He turns his back on the 2 America's position. He says "we are not red states and blue states, we are one America, red white and blue." (not exact, but close quote)

Behold the power of the internet....

The smoking gun
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles.ph...article_id=3812

The Associated Press, a powerful worldwide news source owned by its member daily newspapers, has perpetrated a vile and slanderous lie about President Bush and his supporters, and been caught read-handed. The smoking gun exists safe and sound in the cache memory of countless blog sites. The AP's reporter wrote a dispatch claiming that when President Bush told a rally of his supporters in West Allis, Wisconsin that President Clinton had been hospitalized,

 “the audience "of thousands booed. Bush did nothing to stop them."

Within seconds, the AP dispatch went around the world, and the lie was repeated. In point of fact, eyewitnesses and listeners to radio and television reports could hear that there was no audible booing, but there was supportive applause when the President called on everyone to pray for ex-President Clinton’s recovery.

Unfortunately for the AP, we live in the age of the blogosphere. Almost as quickly as the lie was spread, bloggers started work documenting the report and its factual refutation. Recordings of the crowd's reaction, contradicting the AP, are avilable to anyone on the web, courtesy of America's blogforce.
