How we screwed up by jumping on the Jerome Corsi freeper story too fast.
See how Kerry let the sbv fester and grow and then get the big bang at the bigger target?

Had we kept our powder dry for a bit longer, Corsi would have had the opportunity to be seen and heard for much longer by the public and become a known quantity associated directly with the ad and the book along with O'Neill.

THEN we should have outed him as the Nazi creep we all know him to be when it's much too late for the sbv's to distance themselves in any way.

Maybe there is still something we can do about Corsi...let's not forget to mention him in ANY reply about the sbv ads.

1. Corsi co-wrote the book, right?
So I don't see how he can dissociated from this whole effort. I agree that he should be mentioned in every correspondence about the Smear Campaign ads.

6. O'Neill (puke!) tried to spin that by saying that Corsi
only "edited" the book.

of course, every word that crapsack spews is a LIE.

2. Why would you wait? To let the right wing get weeks of free airtime?
Bullshit!

Clinton believes in "Rapid Response" for a reason - because if you wait too long some of the damage is already done!

4. How did outing Corsi so soon help us?
Even waiting a few days would have put his name out there and given the press a bigger story when his transgressions were revealed.

5. They will all be shot down and discredited in due time
Corsi's just one slimeball of many.

7. I Agree.
But that doesn't mean that the Kerry Campaign should NEVER mention O'Neill's name without mentioning his CO-AUTHOR, Corsi.

Also, any Kerry surrogate who is speaking at the same time on television WITH O'Neil should NEVER miss the opportunity to grill the living hell out of O-Neill about, not his shipmate, but his bookmate.

Keep the faith, BLM.

13. I Figured You'd Like That, BLM: O'Neill's Bookmate.
Since Mr. O'Neill was never a "shipmate" of John Kerry, perhaps we should talk about O'Neill's real life "bookmate".

OXOXOXOXOX

8. I disagree
Who is quoting Corsi anymore? Who is having him on their shows? He was discredited, the same way the people who are still out there lying their asses off need to be discredited.

12. O'Neill would have been on those shows WITH Corsi in ACCORD with Corsi,
in ALLIANCE with Corsi and IDENTIFIED with Corsi.

A few days would have made a BIG difference. We could all take lessons from Kerry on forebearance.
