Lots of B.S. memes going around re: The Kav hearing - this A.M. on This Week

ITEM: "It's very possible that *BOTH* of them are telling the truth." -----------and INCREDIBLY this was said by a woman panelist. Uh, *no*, the Kav dude lied, perjured, and by the bye, committed the inciting offenses.

ITEM: Said the creep Alex CASTELLANOS, the one who put out dirty commercials with "RAT" in "DemocRAT" : "The Dems created a circus and need to learn that when THEY CRUCIFY somebody it won't be one who can start a religion." Uh, note to RAT Alex: Since when is a perpetrator NOT responsible for his own consequences, and how is exposing his crimes, his incompetence for high office, and his depraved temperament and partisanship -- all this dross turned into gold??????! You *CREEP*!


ON EDIT: Rat Alex has a deep history of rat-f**kery, who knew he started out, one of those first generation Cuban Exiles, with Strom THURMOND and Jesse HELMS:

***********QUOTE, Wiki:

.... Castellanos began his career working on the successful 1984 re-election campaigns for United States Senators Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. While working on these campaigns Castellanos met Mike Murphy, with whom he later formed the firm Murphy & Castellanos. Their firm worked on Bob Dole's 1988 presidential campaign.[4][8] In 1989, Castellanos became a partner at National Media, Inc.[7]

In 1990, Castellanos again worked on the re-election campaign for Jesse Helms. During the campaign, Castellanos drew media attention for an ad he created that showed the hands of a white man holding a rejection letter because he had lost a job to a minority worker. The ad, known as "Hands", was criticized by supporters of Helms' opponent, Harvey Gantt for appealing to racial biases of white voters.[9][10]Castellanos later explained that the intended message behind the ad was that "nobody should get a job, or be denied a job because of the color of their skin."[2] Also in 1990, Castellanos created television commercials for Bob Martinez's re-election campaign for governor of Florida.[11][12] ....

Castellanos again worked for Bob Dole on his 1996 presidential election campaign.[16] It was during this campaign that Castellanos discussed the importance of "soccer moms" as a political demographic with The Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne.[17] The phrase went on to become one of the key buzzwords of the election year. ....

While working on the 2000 campaign, Castellanos created an ad about the Medicare prescription plan Al Gore proposed in which the word "RATS" flashed briefly on the screen as the word "bureaucrats" appeared. This was discussed in the media as potential "subliminal messaging". ....
