Bush Campaign Accuses AFL-CIO of Vandalism (At Bush Campaign Offices)
WASHINGTON -- The Bush-Cheney campaign on Monday accused the AFL-CIO of acts of vandalism at a handful of its offices around the country -- an allegation the labor federation denied.

In a letter to the president of the AFL-CIO, Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot cited injuries and damages at an office in Orlando, Fla., and disruptions in Michigan. Racicot said the labor protests came after incidents at other offices in Ohio, West Virginia, Florida and Tennessee.

"I hope you will put an end to protest activities that have led to injuries, property damage, vandalism and voter intimidation," Racicot wrote to AFL-CIO President John Sweeney. "We will hold you and your organization accountable for the actions of your members and urge you to immediately discontinue any coordinated protest efforts."

Denise Mitchell, a spokeswoman for the AFL-CIO, called the charges politically motivated.

2. Parlockery becomes a way of life for the RNC.
No shame, no conscience, no scruples, no morals.

5. My response to the repukes would be:
Dear wimpy, whiny Biffs and Buffs:

Trust us, if we really wanted to fuck you up, we would FUCK YOU UP.

Sincerely,

The REAL men (and women) at the AFL-CIO.

6. Rove is stoking the base with outrage for the final push.
Getting some headlines that paint the Repubs as abused victims at the hands of those brutish oversexed Dems.

Watching the headlines is like listening to a good professional bell-puller ringing out melodious maladies in malignant meters.

7. Good move, Bushco. Do you know how many AFL-CIO members there are?
Please try to alienate ALL of them before Nov. 2, willya?
