Definitely an illegal assembly! Impeach Bush. May Allah will.
*snif-snif* Mmmm...smells like chicken! ; )
I agree that it's natural for people who oppose Kerry to find mutual alliances. It's natural for Republicans to fund 527s which have a message they like. The Kerry campaign is being ridiculous about Republican contributions, that's just silly.
But coordination is, as I understand it, against the law.
I guess I'll have to bone up on campaign finance law myself, I really did not want to have to do that.
Ooh, that might prove a 'tie' to the secretive Guillermo, a known 'Republican operative'who posts on a forum that gets dumptruck loads of untraceable cash from Halliburton and Dick Cheney and the RNC. LOL!! Yet another connection between the Swifties and the White House!!
Lib lurkers- get this straight: Everything isn't a big, dark, secretive, well-oiled conspiracy with enormous resources and shadowy tentacles that reach all over the globe straight out of the 'X Files'.
Human garbage like Bush and Rove? Care to back that up!..Surely I am not reading this right!
Shhh. It's more fun to have them believe this.
Smoking gun for what?
Republicans aren't allowed now to support a group if they choose?
I don't think they've outlawed that.....yet.
That is a huge difference from the charge the Bush/Cheney campaign directing the Swift Vet Group commercials and having the group act as a "front".
I would think given all the intersections between MoveOn.org, Mikey Mooreorless and celebrities et. al. we can certainly find a piece of paper with the words MoveOn.org, Kerry and Moore all on it..
Chill out.
Yow! And Dubya hasn't even formally accepted the renomonation yet!
Yes, indeed they have.
Kerry tries to counter impact of war criticism
excerpt:
Cutter sought to turn the argument over presidential readiness back on the White House. "Mr. McClellan needs to understand that John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read `My Pet Goat' to a group of second graders while America is under attack," she said.
That was a reference to Sept. 11, 2001, when Bush remained in an elementary school classroom for several minutes after being informed by an aide that the World Trade Center had been hit.
Anxiously awaiting a backup post to the "human garbage like Bush and Rove" post..Were you quoting?
That's what I've heard as well, though it certainly hasn't stopped the Kerry campaign from hiring bigwigs from MoveOn.org and lifting material from Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11".
Once again the Democrats insist that everyone give them a pass while they accuse others of the same thing they're doing.
So? I see Kos calls them "Swift Vet Liars".
Shame
SHAME
WOW I am trying to get his post clarified!
I thought Kos was banned here? Either way the wee todd id dimbulb is an idiot. Collusion between BC04 and SBVT would have to be on an advisory level and direct financial links not a flyer saying a couple of groups will have a rally together.
Just so everyone can see what has been happening for the last 19 years of John Kerry's life in the US Senate. No wonder he doesn't want to discuss his record in the Senate. Remember, this is only one of his committees he has neglected.

JOHN KERRY WISHES HE HAD BOB KERREY’S RECORD ON INTELLIGENCE
Desperate To Hide Their Candidate’s Poor Record On Intelligence, Kerry Campaign Goes So Far As To Claim He – Not Bob Kerrey (D-NE) – Was Vice Chairman Of Senate Intelligence Committee
______________________________________________________________________
KERRY CAMPAIGN “FACT CHECK” FICTION: “John Kerry Is An Experienced Leader In The Intelligence Field – John Kerry Served On The Senate Select Committee On Intelligence For 8 Years And Is The Former Vice Chairman Of The Committee.” (John Kerry For President, “Bush-Cheney Ad Fact Check – ‘Intell,’” Press Release, 8/13/04)
KERRY CAMPAIGN “FACT CHECK” REALITY: Kerry Was Never Vice Chairman Of Intelligence Committee – But Bob Kerrey (D-NE) Was. (Michael Barone and Grant Ujifusa, The Almanac Of American Politics 2000, 1999, p. 1796; Michael Barone and Grant Ujifusa, The Almanac Of American Politics 1998, 1997, p. 1579; Michael Barone and Grant Ujifusa, The Almanac Of American Politics 1996, 1995, p. 1494; Michael Barone and Grant Ujifusa, The Almanac Of American Politics 1994, 1993, p. 1427)
