Perhaps but the Swifties are NOT interested in the political fallout of this. They don't care if it helps or hurts Bush. The fact of the matter is, its not a crime for people who share common values in this country to attend a POLITICAL RALLY. And if we're going to call this illegal, let's ban every liberal group from attending a Democratic Party rally. What goes around, comes around.
Going hot and heavy on Hannity and Colmes on this ad and this flyer...COLLUSION!>>>Republican operatives involved!...
Unbelieveable!
IMO, that's an incredibly gutless stand to take!
The smoking gun will be when John O'Neill sits in the presidential box at the GOP Convention.
Gainesville, Florida.
Just a little info....
University of Florida is here. Dave Matthews will be playing here for the Kerry Magical Mystery tour. Funny thing though, UF said only US citizens can attend show. Doh! So much for being "inclusive".
Home of Kerry collaborator Scott Camil.
30 miles from SBVT Joe Ponder. We had Del Sandusky here the other night and he was freeped.
Liberal hotbed.Tree city USA gives out tickets for removing trees.
If this flier is legit, I really wish the local repubs would have thought that out better. Fuel for the fire. The flier will show up on Nov.3rd as evidence for the florida vote challenge. Watch.
John O'Neill is a Democrat. I believe he voted for John Edwards. The fact the Swifties are anti-Kerry does not necessarily mean ALL of them support President Bush. And anyway, under the CFR law, they can't co-ordinate their efforts with the Bush Campaign. And they aren't.
Since John is not in his state, he has never voted for Edwards. He voted for Gore in 2000 (what a mistake; come on, John) and has not voted for the GOP presidential candidate since 1988.
Michael Moore isn't a 527 organization.
John O'Neill isn't a 527 organization, either. He's a private individual, just as Michael Moore is.
MoveOn.org Staffer Moving Over to Kerry Campaign (Posted on 04/08/2004)
MoveOn.org official joins Kerry campaign staff - GOP has assailed group for links to the senator (04/09/2004)
I never said they couldn't and namecalling is uncalled for.
I was simply pointing out that the MSM will go for the lowest common denominator that the stupid will understand. They will understand a flyer from a Republican headquarters. I'm not saying it's true I'm just saying that's what the dimwits will pound as evidence of collusion and 40% of the country will believe it.
A poster on the thread discussing the FEC request by Kerry said that he/she had received more than one e-mail from Moveon.org and that in their e-mails they give a link to the Kerry campaign for donations.
Now that, to me, sounds like coordination.
A letter to MoveOn members from John Kerry
Dear MoveOn Members,
Three words sum up why we need to take action today: The Supreme Court. I need you to join me in keeping the Supreme Court out of the hands of right wing ideologues. I am prepared to filibuster, if necessary, any Supreme Court nominee who would turn back the clock on a womans right to choose, on civil rights and individual liberties, and on the laws protecting workers and the environment.
If you agree with me that there should be no equivocation, no double-speak, no avoidance of the issue, then sign my online petition today at:
http://petition.johnkerry.com
Link to the rest at: http://www.moveon.org/pac/cands/kerry.html
Another Freeper posted earlier today to the effect that the guts and aggressiveness shown by the Swifties are the clearest possible sign that they are not being run by the GOP.
Ok then, this is so new to me. What is a 527? Is the picnic a 527?
