Dan Rather, Terry McAuliffe and those phony papers [Dems say their plot is working]

Bush has overtaken Kerry in NJ in the midst of their brilliant plot.

[stockpirate]

You know it takes time to produce something like this. I wonder when production was started on this ad?

[hoosiermama]

About the same time the papers were forged.

[austinaero]

I don't understand the DNC talking heads saying the SBVT's published lies. Nothing published by the Swifties has been retracted...has it? In fact, since their book came out, it is Kerry and his group that has had to do the "explaining." So, why is it the Kerry campaign threatens to sue media outlets saying they are promoting "slander" if they publish any of the Swifty info,,,yet, they are not even threatening to sue the Swifties? I am so tired of these Dem mouthpieces saying the Swiftboat book is garbage and lies,,,I say,,,prove it!

I think the Swifties should consider legal action against anyone who slanders their book without proof!!!

Sorry if a little off topic, they were mentioned in the post.

[avant_garde]

I demand Kerry come clean and sign the 180 form to release his service records!!!

[tomnbeverly]

It is time to really turn up the heat... The swiftboat vets need to hold a rally...

"The CBS memos are forgeries? Who cares? They did the job. "

Yes, that is all they care about. If a lie will do it, and the truth will not, then the LIE is preferred.

This is brazen; it is "out there". We cannot allow it to succeed. Not that I think it will, but the result they face should be more than a "back-lash". It needs to be a melt-down so complete that they know WHY they lost.

[man from mars]

and a new poll shows President Bush gaining the the great state of IL.

[stockpirate]

“I do think it’s working,” top DNC official Howard Wolfson said Tuesday when asked about the Democratic attack on Bush’s service. “There was a Newsweek poll that came out this week that showed that the president lost 10 points in his credibility numbers in one week since these issues about his service began.”

Bush and he people better wake up, there should be an investigation by the Justice Department over these fakes.

[eureka!]

Re#9 Survey USA shows W leading New Jersey too...

[Use It Or Lose It]

I don't understand the DNC talking heads saying the SBVT's published lies. Nothing published by the Swifties has been retracted...has it?

I don't understand why, when the RATS say the Swiftie statements are lies, no one bats them down! It is infuriating to hear this over and over, and no one that I see or hear has the guts to stop the lying RATS in their cheesy tracks and call them on it. Kerry hasn't read the book but knows they're lies. Really? He must be omniscient. By the way, did you know Kerry was in Vietnam? Pass it on!

[BonnieJ]

Has he really lost 10% in credibility in that poll?

[cyncooper]

The conventional wisdom is that the latest attack on Bush — the one-two punch of the CBS report and McAuliffe’s offensive — is the result of the devastatingly effective anti-Kerry ads aired by the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.

But it was going on before that.

That is what I have been saying. I have pointed out this was NOT in answer to the Swift Vets.

The Kerry Kamp is still complicit, being associated with the DNC and Kerry's propensity to bash Bush in this area personally.

Congressional hearings are needed.

[VadeRetro]

That’s the address of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), where on Tuesday DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe called in the press to unveil what he called “Operation: Fortunate Son.”

What a coincidence! They just happened to be ready to take advantage of CBS 60 Minutes II's journalistic coup on the National Guard story with Ben Barnes and a new set of bombshell documents, had an ad all produced and everything warmed up on the runway, so to speak.

That couldn't have anything to do with why CBS is having trouble realizing the memos are

FAKED AS HELL,

could it?

[cyncooper]

I don't understand the DNC talking heads saying the SBVT's published lies.

DNC (and CBS) lies and projects this onto good and decent folk. Not off-topic.

[cyncooper]

Are you unaware of the Congressional letters and calls for hearings that were put out today?

It is not bluster or idle talk.

[OpusatFR]

"... there should be an investigation by the Justice Department over these fakes."


It needs to be framed as collusion between the Network and the DNC as a fraud perpetrated on the electorate. I wonder, Sarbanes-Oxley or Campaign Finance Reform violations?

But not by the Justice Department, they'd be screaming ASHCROFT the Boogeyman again. Who else could bring it?

[VadeRetro]

In “Fortunate Son,” Democrats included clips from the discredited CBS broadcast after it had been discredited. The DNC is simply pretending that didn’t happen.

Nah! They wouldn't do that.

;)

These docs have only slightly more credibility than the charges that he did cocaine in the WH in the 90's. Remember the weeks of press obsession with getting him to confess to something that: there were no witnesses for, there were no accusers, there was no evidence, there was not even an allegation from any single person.

At least in this case, they forged somebodies name on the allegation. That's a step up for the MSM in this election.
