This comment has got to be a joke. Tell me it's a joke.

Well...is it?

The same media that breathlessly reported how Bush's commanding officer in Alabama didn't remember him but failed to mention he is also suffering from Alzheimer's is now working overtime to smear the reputations of a large group of Vietnam War vets in order to save the reputation of one.

Yes, the major media is committed to a Democrat in the White House, but the are committed to their own ratings first. If they think the public is interested in this story, they will turn on SKerry in a New York Minute. The convention only inoculated against insomnia.

That has the ring of truth, because it's the right answer. The Kerry campaign should ignore it, and have Kerry go about his business. Meanwhile, they send out the lawyers, Lanny Davis, Joe Conason, Susan Estrich, and the rest of the snakes. We'll know they're getting worried when Carville and Sidney Blumenthal come off the bench.

"We took some of the most glaring examples, like the Christmas in Cambodia story, and presented them to senior staff, and we assume that those things were put in front of Senator Kerry," says the source. "We haven't heard a word about it. All we were told is that it was being taken care of."

And now, ladies and gentlemen, may I direct your attention to this lovely story, about how the DNC has apparently put together "Brown Book" collections of personal information on each of the Swift Boat Vets themselves, private citizens, mind you, to provide the news media in an attempt to blackmail/embarass them enough to pull the ad. These Brown Books that are being provided to certain reporters "contain damaging military records, personal credit histories, medical histories, psychiatric histories, divorce records, you name it,” says one source from the story. Private information about private citizens, not elected officials, dug up by investigators and provided to reporters for political reasons! Yeah, it's being taken care of, all right. With "secret police" style tactics. Woe to John Q. Public if the trial lawyer and Mr. "I Don't Fall Down" get into the highest office in the land!

You must recognize that most of us have socks that are older than the "pups" who made those statements. You can be assured that they are worried....they have already started their lawyers and attack dogs....but this time they are in for a few surprises....Firstly, they are not playing with a bunch of scared folks...these are honorable men who when attacked will bite back...hard and often. Secondly, thanks to the internet they are well funded and the more the DNC attack...the more funds will roll in. I urge everyone to make another donation at www.swiftvets.com and then let them "BRING IT ON".

These media traitors would be the first ones imprisoned by the kind of totalitarians they want in office. I'd love to see the looks on the their faces as they got sent to concentration camps by those they helped elect.

If this is true, and the media really wants Kerry in the WH, then Rush has surely been wrong about Hitlery wanting to be president in 2008.

I can't beleive this shit!

Last night I heard on Fox that the Kerry Campaign was contacted to explain his 'Christmas in Cambodia' statement and they never responded! The duffus says he was shot at by Cambodians and South Vietnamese!

Earth to the senior staff: Unfortunately for you, the lamestream no longer has a lock on the media any more.

Of course the media wants to help Kerry win. The problem is his campaign keeps doing stuff that makes it difficult for media to help him look good. In other words, if his campaign is acting like a bunch of amateurs, there's only so much even a Kerry-compliant media can do on the candidate's behalf.

The campaign source said that the book was not considered a "serious" problem for the campaign, because, "the media wouldn't have the nerve to come at us with this kind of stuff," says the source.

I don't normally wear a hat lined with tinfoil but I would be willing to bet that this is disinformation whose purpose is to put a cattle prod in the butt of the lamestream media.

This is where this bunch is twisting in the wind...

They see this ad and these 200 + as part of the "political" campaign, and this is where they are making their big mistake.

This is not a political ad this is a PERSONAL ad by the Swift Vets.

JFKerry has not a clue, because many of we American have kept quiet with his lies and "commie" leanings. He has awakened a simmering "giant" and its not political this time it PERSONAL.

These "senior" clowns need to parse Clinton's FBI files on Kerry as well, before they so smugly conclude the press will be on their side throughout the campaign.

Now, doesn't that kind of comment give you a warm, fuzzy feeling about the media? Truth doesn't matter as long as our guy wins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
