What? No "Fortunate Son" song as part of the Kerry "Fortunate Son" campaign?

I'll betcha the Kerry Campaign originally scheduled him months ago on ABC to sing "Fortunate Son"; DanScam has made the MSM, tho, temporarily a little more skittish about being too overtly DNC. So ABC probably asked Fogarty to sing another tune.

ABC already had Fogarty sing "Fortunate Son" Wed. night on its A&E Biography "Live Request Concert." (ABC has 37.5% ownership in that channel; Hearst the other 37.5%; NBC has the other 25%). The host of that show referred to "Fortunate Son" being one of the greatest ever songs. That's called Democratic hype written by Kerry's scriptwriters. [I mean, it barely makes CCR's top dozen].

I suppose the ABC/NBC/Hearst folks are gonna tell us that having on Forgarty a few weeks after the inauguration of the Democrat "Fortunate Son" campaign was all coincidence. That's it's been in the works for years on end and it "just happened" to fall on the date of Sept. 22.

Yeah, and I've got some swamp land in Florida...[well, it's true, the entire state is now officially sanctioned swampland].

When did the A&E schedulers of their "Live Request" concerts know about the "Fortunate Son" Campaign and who told them? Why was "Fortunate Son" the peak--the crest of the show?

Why is John Fogarty's timing of coming out of the respite closet after 7 years matching the stretch run of the political campaign? Another coincidence?

We FREEPERS need to forward these questions to columnists & talk-show hosts to ensure that we don't give the broader MSM a free pass. Remember, the DNC has operatives and key contacts at every major media outlet. Remember, also that a campaign is not a compaign if all they are doing is putting out a video and referencing it on its web site & some talking head talking points.

A campaign includes infiltrating venues throughout the culture. Apparently, that's what Kerry officials have done. When it comes to the MSM, it's FSC-R-Us.

What I found VERY interesting about the A&E live request show was the LOUD BOOS when Bruce Springsteen's name was mentioned...which, at least for this show, also sent a message to Fogerty.
