Well, they said they were going to go "negative"....
and they have. Should anybody be surprised? They have Goebbels Limbaugh in a full court press today. Talk radio is doing what they are paid to do. Shill and lie for George W Bush.

The Repubs made an announcement just a few days ago that they would go negative on Kerry and use ridicule to tear him him down. Personal attacks are what they do best. Even Republicans know that.

However, it is going to be George W Bush, Limbaugh, Hannity, and all that ilk that are going to be surprised in the end. People know their game now. It only worked in the past because many people were fooled by their propaganda. A trick is not a trick once people understand how it works.

11. Exactly.
But it seems the majority of DUers are OK with that.

Which is sad.

2. This will go on until we run their lying asses out of the White House.
And they won't go quietly.

6. What I find so interesting
when I have ths stomach to tolerate those shows...

I listen...and listen and listen...they barely mention a positive thing George Bush has done these days...but they are all over Kerry for 3 hours...THREE hours they devote to our candidate...
its fascinating...we knew they were going to do this..so I expected it...Kerry and Edwards warned us that they would do this and we all knew the smearing would continue....

we just have to rise above it and call it what it is BULLSHIT

7. They're only going to help Kerry/Edwards with the bs they're tossing
I'd think most flag-waving Americans - even the rw sheep, are going to be turned off by someone dissing a real soldier.

People will turn away from this vileness.

9. "A trick is not a trick once people understand how it works."
That's what magicians fear most, same with pysops specialists. It's called the Truth.

10. Yep, they said August was the full attack month.
They're pigs. I can only hope that they will turn the DECENT voters off. I still marvel at how so many supposed Christians line up behind these people. There is NOTHING Christian about Bush and his cronies. WWJS??? (who would Jesus smear?)
