She attended a Kerry/moveon party last December in Calif and wore an "asses of evil" button. Her husband addressed the group by phone. American Spectator I believe. Mrs. Kerry is supporting some of the scummy anti Bush ads on TV and it is skirting campaign finance laws?

Note the date on the following:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/07/kerry.exley/

"Kerry hires online chief from MoveOn
Bush camp cries foul
From John Mercurio CNN Political Unit

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- John Kerry has hired an Internet-savvy Democrat to run his presidential campaign's online communications, a move that raises new questions about the link between his campaign and the independent groups that run TV ads on his behalf.

Zach Exley, the director of special projects for the MoveOn PAC, is going to the Kerry campaign to become its director of online communications and organization.

Exley also worked during the Democratic presidential primary for Howard Dean, helping Dean set up his web-based organization. Since Kerry became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee in early March, the MoveOn PAC has spent more than $2.5 million on TV ads that attack President Bush.

But under the new campaign-finance law, those efforts cannot be coordinated with the Kerry campaign.

A MoveOn statement said Exley and the staff of all MoveOn entities have agreed that they will not be in contact through the election period to avoid the appearance of coordination, "even though federal election rules permit some forms of communication."

MoveOn has spent roughly $17 million on ads since it started running its "misleader" campaign against Bush last year.

Republicans said Exley's move reinforces their accusations that Kerry and his Democratic allies are circumventing the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law they fought so hard to enact. (GOP challenges anti-Bush ads)

"It's another example of the coordination between MoveOn.org and the Kerry campaign that is illegal under campaign finance law," a Bush campaign official said.

"The Media Fund and MoveOn are functioning as Kerry's slush fund, a shadow Democratic Party that's illegally using soft dollars."

MoveOn became the subject of controversy early this year when it posted two ads on its Web site that compared Bush to Adolf Hitler. The ads were submitted to the group as part of a contest to produce anti-Bush commercials, and Republican Chairman Ed Gillespie said Exley dismissed Republican complaints about them with a barnyard expletive.

"In addition to the obvious questions his hiring raises about further illegal coordination between the Kerry campaign and MoveOn.org, you have to wonder what hiring someone who considers Hitler comparisons to be legitimate political discourse says about the Kerry campaign," Gillespie said in a statement issued Wednesday."

Found this on The American Spectator at http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=6763

Yet the media on its own will not raise the issue of the Kerry Campaign's closeness to extremism, so the Bush Campaign must. It could start by pointing out that Teresa Heinz-Kerry visited a Kerry/MoveOn house party in San Francisco last December. At the party she handed out an "Asses of Evil" pin that contained the pictures of Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft. Later she "took a call" from her Senator husband, who proceeded to speak to the assembled group. On the way out, she took some "Condoleezza Rice Crispies Bars" with her. (Does the NAACP know about this? And would it even care?)

Okay...talk about collusion....look at these links - found these by typing in moveon.org on the DNC and JF'nK's sites:

John Kerry.com
DNC
The Mother of all house parties

And if you type in swift on the RNC and W's sites you get absolutely NO COLLUSION:

George Bush.com
RNC

So who's really guilty of collusion?????

We should all realize by now that the rules don't apply to the RATS. They do whatever they want and get supported in the mainstream media where most people get their news.

Perhaps calling the local smaller news station and talking with reporters there will get them to look into this. When/if smaller news reports tell of this connection, larger stations will pick it up.

maybe

That was a good move. I'd be surprised if Brit Hume didn't pick up this tid-bit and use it on Juan Williams.

Hope so.... Can't wait to hear Brit talk about it. He's the king in political television media and everyone knows it. Russert and everyone else can't hold a candle to Brit Hume.

Has anyone noticed that since Kerry started swirling the drain with this Swift Boat thing, the pletora of what seemed hourly poll results has skidded to a halt.
I would come on here and see 4-5 poll results on the main article screen before the freefall started. For about a week the only ones I remember seeing is the California one. Is it just me, or did anyone else notice this? Could it be another case of MLM spiking bad news for Kerry?

i think YOU"RE RIGHT!!!

So what will they do next?

They feel an OBLIGATION to prove that Bush gets NO BOUNCE
from his convention... Therefore, they MUST take a phoney
poll beforehand, and pad bush's lead...

But then that burst will be attributed to the swift vets!

So now they will SCRAMBLE to discredit the vets, and take
TONS OF PHONEY POLLS showing the veterans MUST STOP.

Expect more phoney polls showing that Americans believe
Bush is behind those 527's.

In their own words...DNC coordination with MoveOn.org

"The Democratic Party is partnering with MoveOn.org, People for the American Way, Campaign for America's Future, and dozens of other groups representing millions of Americans to organize a massive public mobilization. On Wednesday, May 14, join us by calling and emailing your representatives in Congress to let them know that the majority of Americans oppose more irresponsible tax cuts that go overwhelmingly to the wealthiest sliver of Americans."

http://www.democrats.org/wvc/weekinreview/200305120002.html

"DNC Chief Operating Officer Josh Wachs (left), Senator Leahy, and Zack Exley from Moveon.org pose with the more than 310,000 signatures."

http://www.democrats.org/blog/display/00010183.html

"The DNC is also conducting a major petition drive in partnership with MoveOn.org. More than 310,000 Americans have signed the petition to protect our courts — with more than 172,000 of those signatures coming in the past 36 hours. The petition calls on Bush and the Republicans to stop nominating judges that are out of step with mainstream Americans and praising the Democrats for standing up for their rights."

But they play by these rules. Republicans are the biggest weenies, on this, on filibusters, on judicial appointments..... The Crats are always the sharks and GOP the guppies. They got no spines at all.

Anyone remember when MoveOn released an ad touting a particular Kerry policy- days before Kerry released the policy statement? MSM swept that one under the rug. Of course, given Kerry's convictions, there's a good chance he actually got his policy from the ad.
