Powerlineblog.org: We Just Got A Tip (Breaking Story on Kerry?)
Powerline ^ | 10/23/04

Posted on 10/23/2004 9:53:20 AM PDT by freespirited

We just got a tip......that a major newspaper will break a front-page story Monday morning that could create a serious problem for the Kerry campaign. We don't yet have any details, but it relates to a foreign policy issue, and it will call into question--amazingly enough--John Kerry's truthfulness.

We'll watch for the story Sunday night and post it as soon as it becomes available.

Great thought and I agree. The Dem Party of John Kennedy is closer to the GOP of today and the Dem party is closer to the Socialist, well make that Communist Party of that time. The Dems are for killing babies, eliminate God, defile everything of value and have everyone dependent upon the state. Thus they hope to control the people.

In the past, both parties were patriotic. In the past, there were major dissension in time of war as well. But I do not know of any party that really wanted to sell out America.

The "Like Josh Marshall--Only It's Real" lead in on RedState does not refer to Tora Bora and the claim that Bush lied. I was wrong. It is a pointed reference to the fact that Josh Marshall tipped the Killian memo story on his talkingmemo blog before it ran on CBS...So, I am back to where I was before. I have no clue as to what the gist of the story is...

PUEBLO, Colo. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee and Vietnam War veteran John Kerry (news - web sites) tried to burnish his national security credentials on Saturday by vowing to hunt down terrorists with the same energy he used to pursue the Viet Cong.

And I will use the same energy to help John Kerry's enemies that he had helping America's enemies. Though I doubt I'll end up being honored by the Communist Vietnamese by a photo of myself in their "War Crimes Museum". I'll let him have that one...

Isn't the Washington Times owned by the Moonies?

Which is a more of a cult with a monolithic and unrealistic view of the world, the "Moonies" or the New York Times?

Oh heck! It's coming too early!

We need a juicey article about Kerry two or three days before the election like the GW DUI stunt the Dems pulled on us in 2000.

I just saw this... I'm really curious as to what it is. I also pray that even ONE of the "Big Three" broadcast networks picks up the story. Fire up the blogs and threads, people - it'll be up to us to get out the story!

rudge just posted an AP story from Friday. In the AP piece, Kerry blasts President Bush for Letting OBL escape. Kerry said that if he were President OBL would be dead or captured. For Drudge to post this now, maybe Monday's news is about OBL.

"Let me guess: The Washington Times, The NY Post, or perhaps any of the other right-of-center newspapers that have a hard time getting noticed by the MSM? I mean, I'll read it and most of the people here on FreeRepublic will read it, but it will be buried elsewhere. Sorry if I'm feeling a little cynical - just getting too worried about this election."

-- Anything in the NY Post is ran on FOX NEWS (they're owned by the same company). If FOX runs a story, CNN usually follows shortly thereafter. If CNN and FOX are running a story, you know damn well MSNBC will. If MSNBC runs it, so will the NBC nightly news.

Thank God for FOX NEWS. Drudge picks up stories from all over the net, then FOX picks up the Drudge stories that are credible after vetting them. Drudge/FOX/NY Post is the gateway from internet media to mainstream, and that's why the Left villifies all three.

I know, I know. The one who just 'enthusiastically' endorsed Kerry.

Do you think Drudge will sit on a story for 24 hours for effect?

"IMHO, this is in regards to the Bin Laden/Tora Bora story. Possibly they have conclusive evidence that he's dead."

That could be. And because Kerry would probably know all about it from being a senator and Presidential candidate (and therefore privy to all the top-level secrets), it would prove he had been lying when he says W let Bin Laden get away. It all fits.


Yes, but Kerry should know that this lie could be so easily exposed - unless he thought this information could not be released until after the election...

A credible Drudge story = FOX News/NY Post Story.

If Drudge has it he'll hold for the Sunday siren a couple hours before his radio show. You have to love the Sunday siren.

man... forget the discharge.. if they can get a photo out of him burning a flag? omg its so over for him.

The thing here folks is that this is simple. It has to be something simple and possibly visible to make a serious and devestating impact that cannot be ignored.

All these complicated scenarious involving a less than honorable discharge is a little complicated and easily spun - especially if the discharge wasn't cut and dry dishonorable. Anything else would take more than a week to verify and scream about to get noticed.

Now I'm not saying that anything discussed above is true or is going to happen. But what I do know is that it has to be something simple to grab all of America that Kerry cannot refute and will have to own up to. I'm also not so sure that anything of this Occaman nature exists either.

It's a little pie in the sky unless it's proof of the death or capture of Bin Laden. Now that would be a foreign policy issue that would not only cause serious problems for the Kerry campaign, but would cause him to be nearly ignored and forgotten. When you're having parades and dancing in the streets all across America, John Kerry will fade into the Dukakis/Mondale memory hole.

Yes, but they would say both Bush and Kerry are guilty of being dishonest regarding Bin Laden's whereabouts.
