Does Kerry need to better verify his sources?

I don't know if this is true, but it sure would be a laugh if it is. Recently, Kerry was citing alleged examples of voter intimidation. Among them:

Kerry also cited examples Sunday of how people were duped into not voting.

"Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote," he said.

The "Tuesday/Wednesday" example sounds suspiciously similar to an article from the satirical publication, The Onion, as well as a post at the satirical website Scrappleface.

Of course, even if one or both of these are the source of that claim, it was probably a mistake on the part of a Kerry staffmember. Still, it's demonstrative of just how far Kerry, his supporters, and Democrats in general will go to cast doubt over the election results, though more to affect future elections than the one that he lost.
