WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Bush campaign is demanding an apology from Sen. John Kerry after the presumptive Democratic nominee called his Republican opponents the “most crooked … lying group of people I’ve ever seen.”

A Kerry spokesman later said the senator wasn’t referring to the president but to those behind what he characterized as a GOP attack “machine.”

I would urge Kerry to apologize if what he said wasn’t true. Unfortunately for the Bush campaign, they probably are the most crooked group Kerry’s ever seen. See an example here.

“We call on Senator Kerry to apologize to the American people for this negative attack,” Racicot said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

We call on Marc Racicot to go fuck himself…. and stop lying about your guy’s military record.
