Kerry adviser spoke with CBS document source

A campaign adviser for John Kerry told CNN he spoke with retired Texas National Guard officer Bill Burkett -- the man who CBS said provided them with disputed documents -- days before the "60 Minutes" piece aired and after a call from a CBS news producer, but strongly denied any connection with the story.

The Bush-Cheney campaign quickly condemned the latest revelation in the reporting scandal, calling on the Kerry camp to "come clean" on its involvement.

The Kerry adviser, Joe Lockhart, late Monday denied any coordination or connection with CBS. Asked if anyone in the campaign had any involvement in pushing the story, Lockhart said, "No."

"We had nothing to do with these documents or forgeries or whatever they are," Lockhart, who served as press secretary in the Clinton White House, told CNN's Candy Crowley. "I did not talk to Burkett about any documents or even the National Guard story."

Ok, there you have it...the open door for the Right to drag Kerry through the mud over this issue. Myself and a number of others here predicted that this memo BS would hurt Kerry and lo and behold here we are fixing to have to defend Kerry over something he had no involvement in. As usual, we were maligned here for not having the popular opinion or following the appropriate marching music. Maybe next time, the usual suspects such as Media Lies Daily will take note and address the issues rather than attacking the messengers.

Far be it from me to tell you that I told you so, but...

3. LOL - I'll take a "jHide Thread" on another negative post.

6. Heres another one. You sound like you're hoping it does. You're

not working on getting Kerry's message out. Just sitting there waiting for doom and gloom.

9. Working on getting Kerrys message out?

Youre right. We should ignore the great big obvious issue and pretend it doesnt exist.

O happy days.

15. And what are you doing about it then? The media reports what

they think you want to hear. You're only reaffirming their belief that this is news. It isn't. Stop buying the crap they're selling. Get busy with the campaign.

11. I'm sorry, I meant the original post was negative.

I hid this but saw your response in "My Post's"

[kikiek]

Oh ok sorry.

7. No sky falling, just the ball rolling. Ignore the early stuff if you want

It wont go away. The media wont ignore it and you know this.

But, lets just pretend it doesnt mean anything.

O happy day....

2. BAHAAAA, Cheney saying , "come clean" Now that's some funny

stuff. How about coming clean on your secret energy task force? How about coming clean on how much Halliburton has paid you since the war? How about coming clean about Juniors DUI's? How about coming clean with your Shitboat Liars? But since Cheney/Bush are so adamant for answers, why can't they come clean on who was Novak's source to commit treason and out a CIA Operative?

4. Perhaps Rather knows Rove did this and has evidence he did it

one hopes.....

5. This isn't going anywhere, read the story.

Burkett talked to the K campaign after he gave the docs to CBS. This is CBS' ethical breach.

12. Exactly what business did the Kerry campaign have with him?

You dont handle shit and not expect to get some on you.

[eek]

13. Why does rove's "power" scare everyone so badly?

I just never get why The Media* doesn't just start yawning and rolling their eyes when he does this obvious sh#t

How great to see Norville say " and what looks to be just another one of karl rove's usual stunts..."



*aren't ya sick of hearing The Media The Media The Media..particularly *from* The Media

8. Sorry, I was working on getting Kerry elected.

Did you say something?

Anything?

No?

Ok.

[TryingToWarnYou]

14. Nope, put your head back in the sand. All is well.

Its all calm and serene.

Maybe if we dont talk about it, it will go away.

10. Candy Crowley reports for CNN. Big deal.
