The problem with the Clinton book is not the sucking away of
attention from Kerry - Kerry needs to lay low right now anyway for two reasons - to see how the Plame and prison actions come down and who will be the nominees for the Republicans and how much attention will be sucked away from Kerry anyway with all the right wing denials and calls to their troops to save Bush/Cheney and the neo-con agenda.

The problem with the Clinton book is not Clinton or the timing of the release.

The problem with the Clinton book is that CPN (Corporate Propaganda Networks) is acting typically. Their talking points have been released evidently and he is being 'Gored'....pound on 'sloppy writing', the obsession with Starr, and his self criticism (which will never be sufficient to satisfy them). Observe and notice the accusations and the repetition of the talking points. It will be a good case study of CPN.

It's time once again to fight the right wing. Between Clinton's book and the Conason, Lyons, Thomason documentary - we are going to repeat the 90's and WE NEED TO FIGHT ALL OVER AGAIN. Are you up to it? It's us again. We had a major handicap before - we had trouble ourselves believing what was happening because we didn't know their organization and the players. We know so much more now. We know who will be typically murderous. We know that there will be another attempt at character assassination. We don't have to work quite so hard because we're so much more knowledgeable, but we shouldn't blame Clinton for any attention that the right wing chooses to focus on or pull away from. The facts in the book and the added information of the documentary will be recorded in history.

So, for all of us who are not attacking Kerry, others should refrain from attacking Clinton and fight the true enemy - the character assassinators who adore focusing on a person's private life and make the cover-up lie about sex equal to a nuclear war.

1. Care to tell us about the CPN?
Name the names. If its CNN,Fox or MSNBC forget it. They have a very poor audience.

4. NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, MSNBC, CNN, CNBC - some worse than others
Basically, if its owned by a corproate megaconglomerate, its a tool.

5. They have a smaller audience than expected, but the
big names are all there. Who gets all the attention here on DU? Sean, Bill, Tim, Robert, and all the others. How many networks and so-called newsprint people are there for the Dems?

Networks - TV
networks - tv, radio, print

2. Why did you not post it in one of the numerous threads on the subject?
We are getting too many Clinton book threads. It is starting to look like Reagasm... Clintasm?

3. The Plame grand jury
The Plame grand jury

may indict soon,

OR

may not indict until after the election.

John Kerry shouldn't wait for it.
