Surprised? Nah, Me Neither.
Well, our good SECSTATE has been at it again.
It seems that the good John Forbes Kerry has been running his yap again – this time about “global climate change”. And here’s what he had to say:
“Climate change is an issue that is personal to me, and it has been since the 1980s, when we were organizing the very first climate hearings in the Senate…. Al Gore, Tim Wirth, and a group of us organized the first hearings in the Senate on this, 1988. We heard Jim Hansen sit in front of us and tell us it’s happening now, 1988.”
–Secretary of State John F. Kerry, remarks to the Atlantic Council, March 12, 2015
Yep – Kerry claims he was right there with Gore, helping to organize the “first” hearings on the matter.
He’s made very similar claims on multiple previous occasions. And, finally, someone decided to fact-check him on it.
Specifically, Glenn Kessler – the guy who write’s the Washington Post “Fact Checker” column – fact checked the SECSTATE’s claim. And here’s what Kessler had to say about that claim:
Yeah, that means what you think it does: Kerry lied. Through his teeth. With a straight face.
Raise your hand if this caught you by surprise. Yeah, didn’t think so.
Kessler’s WaPo article on the subject is well-worth reading. If you have about 5 minutes, it’s worth taking the time to look it over. It documents a multi-year pattern of Kerry telling this particular lie.
If you “love” the man as much as I do, I think you’ll find it a very enjoyable 5 minutes.

Generally I have started to not believe a single iota of ANYTHING that comes out of anyone’s mouth from inside the Beltway.
That, and no fucks have been given about the Socialist Libby Lefties either. Not a single one.
Hey!!
I work inside the beltway!
Sure you do….
😉
What? Lurch lied? Who knew?
But then, he’s just one sliced in a big baloney sandwich, isn’t he? Always has been, always will be.
Well at least the traitor and the owlgore will both share a space in HELL!
I’m currently reading ‘The Last Centurion’ (yes, I’m lagging behind — again.) I am amazed at how accurate it is. It’s eerie. And everything, including the global warming nonsense and the stupid politicians, is in there.
I finished it a couple weeks ago, after seeing some reference to it on here. What an awesome book. Started reading some of his other stuff as well – some of it’s good, other stuff is meh.
I’m sure that meeting was seared, SEARED, into his brain.
sKerry lie? Gee, who would have anticipated such a thing.
[sigh] Days like this, I hate politicians more than I usually do. All of ’em, every single one. I met Senator Cornyn once, and couldn’t weasel a straight answer out of him over ANYTHING I asked. As far as I’m concerned, these fast talking, snake oil career politicians all need to go the way of the French and lay down on a wood plank, but that’s just my opinion.
So I want to know why Glenn Kessler after documenting so many LIES by Mr. Kerry, and is so indignant that he awards him four Pinocchios; where is the call for Mr. Kerry to resign immediately for eroding the faith and trust of the American citizens and the suggestion he should be removed at the least from negotiating with the Iranians for fear he might also be lying to them and us about the negotiations. If, Mr. Kessler, you are not going to go this step, then we assume you do not dislike this malfeasance and why bother reporting it; by not you have lost the faith and trust of your readers and you my friend are no different than The Honorable John F. Kerry.
“. . . are no different than The DIS-Honorable John F. Kerry.”
There. Fixed it for ya. You’re welcome.
So you want to throw out every politician who has ever lied and betrayed our trust?
On that basis the next available President in the line of succession is old Mrs. Schwartz at the library.
Odds are 50-50 she couldn’t do any worse than what is allegedly leading the country today.
Unfortunately, the author of the article used bullshit sources (e.g., Hansen of NASA) to prove what we all know to be bullshit is bullshit. I wonder when Kerry will start to claim he was there with Al when the internet was born…
You know what makes a similar sound to Kerry opening his mouth? A water truck and vinegar truck crashing on a warm summer’s eve.
It sounds like “DOUCHE!!!”
Right like the time he registered his “little sailboat” in Rhode Island to avoid paying Mass Taxes and later claimed it was because it was more appropriate in Rhode Island for maintenance of the 7 million dollar boat…the savings of half a million in taxes wasn’t part of his decision…
So indeed we here in the PRoM aren’t at all surprised…I do want to thank the president for taking that steaming turd out of our state, but we didn’t end up keeping Mr. Brown we got Markey and Warren two long time hacks with a history of being as honest as Kerry
Brian Williams might be able to vouch for Kerry’s statement…
According to liberals, only conservatives lie intentionally. Liberals “mis-speak”. There is a HUGE difference.
If you want the truh, you need to watch MSNBC. They’ll keep you informed of what you need to know.
