"I Want Candy" Crowley talking about how Kerry has failed to denounce ALL

[malachibk]

soft money ads (like the "president" has) with that HATEFUL woman Kay (?) Buchanan. She reminds me of that puppet "Madam" with the wooden face, huge nose and chin?

They're saying that Kerry is upset because it's an ad attacking him but lets MoveOn's ads slide -- no mention of his denunciation of the latest ad.

1. Got an e-mail for her?

[malachibk]

12. I've sent/made 3000 emails/phonecalls to CNN

And every time it gets worse!

[MercutioATC]

2. Do you really think it's fair to insult Bow Wow Wow like that?

...at least THEY made a societal contribution...

[DancingBear]

7. Who???

Um, The Strangeloves had the original hit with "I Want Candy' back in '65.

Kids these days... :) :)

[MercutioATC]

15. Guess I'm dating myself...I'm a product of the 80's

:)

[malachibk]

19. I hear ya...

the Bow Wow Wow ref. was not lost on me!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

3. Wicked Witch.

She's unbelievable.

If there's such a thing as George W. Bush Cookies, she'd be all over 'em like bacteria on shit.

[TexasBushwhacker]

4. YO!!! It's the MoveOn PAC that's funding the ads

Get it? A Political Action Committee. That's HARD MONEY, not soft. Soft money is what goes to 527's like the Swift Boat Veterans for the "Truth". The MoveOn Organization only funds non-partisan activities like voter registration. The MoveOn PAC is the one that pays for TV advertising. The MoveOn PAC plays by the rules. The Swifties don't. They claim to be non-partisan and that they do not endorse a particular candidate. LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DoBotherMe]

5. You should send this excellent

response to CNN.

[TexasBushwhacker]

9. Happy to - Tell me where

Seriously! I'm getting REALLY tired of this shit. The MoveOn.org and the MoveOn PAC are separate entities. PAC's are free to endorse candidantes because they can only accept $2000 from an individual.

[DoBotherMe]

11. Send it to Crowley.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. New A-hole official ripped

I couldn't find a specific a-mail address for her, so I had to send it to "other", but hopefully it will get to the right person - either her OR HER BOSS!

[Demonaut]

6. why no mention that MoveOn started looooong before Kerry became the

candidate

[DancingBear]

8. Maybe I should send her another email

This time with a Bush/Cheney sticker on it - THAT she'd read.

[Rockholm]

10. It's "Bay" (at the moon) Buchanan...sister of Pat

[malachibk]

13. Thanks

She's horrifying

[mondo joe]

16. Why Denounce ALL soft money ads rather than the BAD ones?

Why denounce ALL the soft money ads?

Why not denounce those you disagree with?

[Reciprocity]

17. "woman Kay (?) Buchanan."

Bay Buchanan is Pat Buchanan's little sister.

[ClassWarrior]

22. Yeah, she looks like a female version of Pat.

ick.

20. She's repeating Scott McClellan's talking point from today.

The talking points are these:

*that Bush has denounced all soft money ads, and Kerry should do the same.

*that Bush is talking about the future, not about the past.

These White House talking points don't stand up under scrutiny, though, because Bush HAS talked about the past, encouraging mockery of Kerry's decades in the Senate. Both Bush's standard stump speech and his campaign ads attack Kerry's Senate record. Bush even encourages mockery and derision at his campaign rallies when he refers to Kerry's years in the Senate.

And when a questioner at an "Ask President Bush" event accused Kerry of winning medals by self-inflicted "scratches," Bush simply let the charge stand -- no correction, no "you're mistaken there," nothing.

21. there's my chuckle for the day

talking point: "Bush is talking about the future, not about the past."

Ha! I'll just bet he is. Whoa, no... who wants to run on a record like that???
