Kerry-Edwards: Reports Detail Even Closer Ties to Bush Campaign; No Wonder Bush Won't Condemn This Smear-His Campaign is Behind It

"Bush Adviser Quits After Appearing in Swift Boat Ad" ...

AP: Florida Bush Headquarters Busted for Handing Out Swift Boat Material. ,,,

Webpage "Prepared and Paid for by Republican Party of Minnesota" Found to Be Linking to the Swift Boat Ads. In Minnesota, like Florida--a battleground state with polls showing Bush & Kerry in a dead heat-an official Republican Party webpage was recently found to be linking to the Swift Boat Ads. The webpage goes on to question Kerryhas these questions about John Kerry's service in Vietnam: SWIFT VETS ARE GETTING TO KERRY; DID HE LIE ABOUT HIS SERVICE, repeatedly, in an effort to embellish it? DID HE TAKE CREDIT for engagements fought by other men (Lt. Ted Peck in particular)? The website also contains a link to purchase the book produced by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, "Unfit For Command". ..

[acmavm]

3. 9:21 p.m. CST Rated it a 5. How in the heck could I have possibly been

the first person to rate this article?????? You guys all saw it before I did, and rated it I assume. So how come there were no ratings numbers before I got there?

[Cha]

4. There were no ratings when I rated it, too.

I don't know how many it takes for it to show something.

[madmax]

8. I rated it also and said 5.. with 1 rating..

give it up it's all rigged. :shrug:

[Catch22Dem]

16. It's a press release, not...

a straight news story, so it probably won't take a rating.

[Cha]

2. It always is Worse when bush is

concerned.

Rated it!

Good for Kerry/Edwards getting it out there.

[reprehensor]

5. Good catch.

Smear Boat Vets are falling down, falling down, falling down.

[loftycity]

6. Gave it a 5--What ever is going on here in Minnesota is

so suspicious. It's not right. Gone totally nuts...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

7. Good.

Now, bring on the real stuff on the Not-So-Swifties, their running dog co-conspirators and their contributors. Drag the mewling beast into the light so it can go up in smoke before the eyes of the public.

[Junkdrawer]

9. Was this due to last night's Skinner project?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. Heh.

Wadda, you new? ;-)

Nooooo...No one EVER, EVER notices these little projects. Really. Never. :D

[Junkdrawer]

28. Kick

:kick:

[not systems]

10. The rating are "broken"

You have given the news article Kerry-Edwards: Reports Detail Even Closer Ties to Bush Campaign; No Wonder Bush Won't Condemn This Smear-His Campaign is Behind It a rating of 5.
Its current average rating is 5.00 with 1 vote(s).

[Dickie Flatt]

12. Memo To Kerry/Edwards: Buy a copy of Word

Then you can avoid pathetic errors like this: "The webpage goes on to question Kerryhas these questions about John Kerry's service in Vietnam"

Either it's questioning Kerry, or it has questions about Kerry. Can't have it both ways, guys; Kerryhas is not a word.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. Wait a minute...At the bottom of the page, it says:

"Paid for by Kerry-Edwards 2004, Inc. Web: http://www.johnkerry.com"

Could this be the reason for not allowing a rating? ;-)

15. I think Kerry has the goods on bushco - the smoking gun, so to speak

They aren't mincing words, and even at this moment are saying the bush campaign is behind this. I don't think they'd say that without some "closing" piece of evidence. We know the slimy f**ks are behind it - there's a clear pattern of such tactics since 2000, everyday brings more bushco fingerprints, and the lies of those soldiers who place cheap points above honesty and integrity - but so far, its not proof enough, imho, for Kerry to directly make and repeat that remark.

I would bet money that the Kerry campaign has some smoking gun - and are planning to release it during the rnc. I mean, "their campaign is behind it" is a serious charge. bush and bots have yet to prove 1) any of the charges from the swiftboat liars for bush, and 2) or have they yet to prove they are not involved (hey, that was the logic they used for invading Iraq), but there has to be a smoking gun.

A big one.

And then a big, "I told you so" from Kerry.

Kerry is making big decisions, and pretty damned well imho. I wonder who calls the shots in the bush gang.

17. The Secretary of the Alachua Country Republican Party

Dineen Wolfersheim admitted to the press that she pulled the permit for the Pro America/Swift Boats Rally and that she sent an email announcement out, which she signed with her name and title.



This is her on stage an the Pro American rally at the Downtown Plaza in Gainesville, FL yesterday.

[leftchick]

27. My eyes!!!!

omg... a female freeper.... :puke:

[powergirl]

19. I think the smoking gun could be trotted out on Monday

Isn't it true that Friday/weekend is the time when the news is watched the least. For example, Bush releases shitty job data on a Friday hoping that it will dissipate over the weekend.

So, the Swiftboat story isn't getting the play it deserves b/c it is the weekend. You set up the good stories for the beginning of the week.

I hope it turns out like you predicted. Because Bush and his goons are filth.

[SayitAintSo]

18. You think we will see a series of "linkage" stories this week ?

That coincidentally reflect all the good work on Skinners project last night ? :)

[TrogL]

20. The CBC was reporting that ...

the controvery over who served in Vietname and what happened was distracting from other issues such as unemployment and the economy.

[schultzee]

21. Kerry needs to speak up and answer EVERY nasty allegation that

the rePIGs make or else he will lose it for us. And he needs to show some rightous anger. 4 more years of ****** is the end of democracy and prosperity for anyone but the filthy greedy millionairs.

[AndyTiedye]

22. Kerry Won't Have Time To Do Anything Else

Kerry needs to answer every allegation,
and he needs to get his own message out too.
How can he do both?
He gets so very little airtime compared to Bush*.
Bush*'s goons can sling mud all day every day,
and the media will report every bit of it as "news".

That's why we won't get the "swing" voters that a challenger
would normally get against an unpopular incumbent.
Most of them will believe the lies when they've heard them
echoed by the TV talking heads often enough.

Fortunately, we may be able to win without them.

[Kimber Scott]

24. Gave it a 5 - No ratings before I did. Says 1 rating now.

nt

[lolly]

25. Hope you're right about the smoking gun

Kerry WAS a prosecutor; surely he would know how to do this right, no? Get the witness to commit himself to a lie, then pull out the evidence?

[dbt]

26. Kick!

Time for the Truth to get its pants on. And maybe carry a Taser.

:freak:
dbt

[Mixxster]
