GOP October Suprise on Monday???
Rumor Alert...

http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=102008

"Story Breaking Monday About Kerry (Just Passing Info Along Folks)

There are a number of reports starting to circulate that a news story will run in the Monday edition of a Washington newspaper that has some kind of DEVASTATING information about Kerry that relates to foreign policy. I hesitate to post this at all since there are so few facts right now, but figured everyone will have their antennae up for the "October Surprise" story everyone expects from each side. Don't know if this is it or just something being blown out of proportion, but someone I just spoke with said that it is bad enough that Kerry will have to address it immediately and may even try to pre-emptively hit it on tomorrow's morning shows."

Anyone know what this guy is refering to?

2. They are running the devastating and must address it meme.
This must be coordinated. It's a BS story.

3. Rumor has it
That this relates to Kerry's comments on the Larry King Show in 2001 regarding the hunt for Osama. Atrios here.

OH Sweet Jesus, let it be that one.
I was afraid they'd prove that Kerry was Edward's real father or someething like that.

Can't have a father/son combo in the White House, right?

Oh, wait...

Never mind.

11. They're pinning their hopes on THAT?
Much better to stick to fixed voting machines. Jesus, that's pathetic. Debunked before it's even unveiled?

19. I bet you are correct... this makes perfect sense.
It goes after his "they outsourced bin Laden" comments.

21. Exactly
But I don't think this will work. Usually an October surprise is better than a transcript from a national television show broadcast a few years ago. Why will people listen to this any more than they listened to the rest of the RNC's flip flop crap?

34. LOL - Q&A is to Bomb or use Flame throwers 2 wks after Osama escaped!
as we try to flush out the caves and the mess we made using warlords as the capture force for Osama two weeks earlier.

And Klaus labels the discussion as one about Osama with Kerry endorsing bombing and doing what we are doing.

Does Mickey Klaus and the GOP and the media have any ETHICS???

Sorry - I should have known the answer was no!

:-)


KING: Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania -- hello.

CALLER: Hello. Yes, I would like to ask the panel why they don't use napalm or flamethrowers on those tunnels and caves up there in Afghanistan?

KING: Senator Kerry?

CALLER: My golly, I think they could smoke him out.

KING: Senator Kerry?

KERRY: Well, I think it depends on where you are tactically. They may well be doing that at some point in time. But for the moment, what we are doing, I think, is having its impact and it is the best way to protect our troops and sort of minimalize the proximity, if you will. I think we have been doing this pretty effectively and we should continue to do it that way.

10. The only thing I was worried with Kerry about was womanizing. Anything
else is a waste of time.

16. The only "October Surprise"
I am worried about most are either an attack on Iran, or a surprise visit to the troops in Iraq....everything else can be defeated through by counter-media attacks

30. No trip to Iraq just before the election for Bush.
That would be an obvious photo-op, would look desperate, and would backfire. Rove ain't dumb.

15. oh yeah -- didn't you hear - Kerry was dishonorably discharged
... or so the W*right-wing blogs have been saying since early October, promising a big surprise ....

My personal opinion is that the B/C campaign NIXED that little surprise b/c a little digging confirmed that the discharge was delayed by Nixon people ... aka ... the Roves of the world then ....

26. ::::yawn:::::
yeah

only in the Bush1984World would such a thing be "devastating" -- i.e., lessee
(a) Candidate Blue: In his "youth," he exercised his constitutional right to freedom of expression by burning (or urinating) on a flag.

(b) Candidate Red: In his "youth," he broke the law driving while intoxicated and was, as is generally accepted even by his advocates, a drunk

hmmmmmm.....

The American President remains the best "two-star" movie ever......

if that were it -- and if that were to change the results of the election, I can only hope that Darwin was wrong and survival of the fittest is a myth created by liberals from Massachusetts.

32. I don't believe that such a photo exists. But...
if it does, and is shown a few days before the election, it would be devasting. Kerry would lose badly.

33. That is a RW lie, plain and simple.... I am more worried about...
bush and his minions from hell using the Constitution as toilet paper, than I am about some fictious picture of Kerry urinating on the Flag. If that pic existed, it would have been out there long before now....:(

29. It sounds like there overstating the case...
...I mean if they twist some crap around that Kerry said about Bush's foreign policy,take it out of context whats in that?I mean its not going to give them the election,its another commercial they can run for a few days.

31. Wait ... back to the flag thing
...they've (i.e., the evildoers :)) staked much of their position on the argument that kerry has been gunning for the presidency since he got out of diapers and that he was so determined to become president that he joined the Navy.

Now...someone as brilliantly organized as that, as cynically calculating as that -- surely would not do ANYTHING that he thot would hurt his planned career, no?

then again -- oops -- logic is not accepted in this SBV/Bush1984 World....

now I'm not yawning anymore.
i'm just aggravated
think i'll go pop a bottle of wine and chill out.

36. I've got it.
Kerry is really Osama Bin Laden - you can tell cause they're both 6 foot five, and Kerry shaved the beard off, got a haircut, and campaigned to be President of the United States. They have pictures
of the transformation. I bet that's it.

Whatever it is....too bad. too late..

WAPO endorsed Kerry today.

37. I Just read that Bush is giving an exclusive interview to Charlie Gibson
on Monday? or Tuesday morning. "personal and not politics as usual"
Hey bud, didn't mean to lunge at cha..ha ha ha.. Bet he is preparing for his big moment right now. Part of this must be to take the spotlight from the Big Dog.
