Reply #13: Without commenting on Edwards' message [View All]

I would ask all to keep one thing in mind:

Frank Luntz is a master of the packaged message. His propaganda
efforts were instrumental in both Bush campaigns as well as being
involved in some really nasty dirty tricks in some congressional
campaigns as well. ANY "event" such as the one just staged by Luntz
is suspect, and it is far too late for me to take anything Luntz
puts on seriously, even if he was really playing it straight for once.
By the way, Luntz being straight, except when presenting the RNC with
his bills, occurs about as often as the appearance of Halley's Comet.
Everything he does is staged for effect. He is capable of doing an
event like this in order to promote a Democratic candidate if his
Republican masters fear another (Obama or HRC, for example). This might
not be the case here, but as this is the Luntz M.O., I can't accept it as
genuine--not coming from Luntz. My apologies to Edwards supporters if this
turns out to the genuine article, but as the very concept of authenticity
is foreign to Frank Luntz, it is asking a lot to accept the word of the
most ruthless Republican strategist since Karl Rove, and Rove's IQ probably
pales when compared to that of Frank Luntz. The guy is brilliant, but he
is pure evil. I just have a problem with good news coming from such a source.
