Let's Make the Fake Weapons Story Just as Big as the CBS Fake Memo Story
October 26, 2004 | Michael Katz


Posted on 10/26/2004 8:37:02 PM PDT by Mike10542

I just watched a segment on the O'Reilly factor with Dick Morris. Morris made a great point. The parties involved in this smear are the UN, CBS, the New York Times, and the Kerry campaign. Not exactly the circle of parties I would want to be involved in if I were Kerry. What this story says is at the most Kerry got early word from these groups about this fake story to hurt Bush and at the least, Kerry immediately used a story from these three sources to hurt Bush without even checking its credibility. These groups are a joke obviously. CBS has no credibiltiy anymore, the New York Times is just as bad, but most importantly the UN, which most of America doesn't trust, was a partner to this smear, which further proves Kerry is somehow either in bed with them or is quick to jump in bed with them to hurt Bush, America and our troops in harms way. This is a big story and we need to ensure that it becomes one. Let's put Kerry on the defensive these last 6 days, especially to thwart off any future October surprises they may try.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Even Ann Coulter on Scarborough did not think it would be as big as Rathergate. But, the bottom line is that once again, the media IS the story. No longer is what the NYT reported being discussed. Instead, it is the veracity of what the NYT reported that is being discussed. The NYT is on the defensive for reporting a story that was meant to put Bush on the defensive.

1. Oh come on, you broke the rule
You mentioned Coulter without showing a photo of the chicken-legged crone. I prefer the one of her running in mortal fear of a pie.

3. Begala made better points..
than the old fart. Regardless of WHEN they went missing, the Bushco's saw them in March and have no clue what happened to them. They were asleep at the wheel again.

admin for twisting NBC's report!

Bottom line is - the explosives were there in March when we attacked, they aren't there now. Damn - what happened, did we forget to secure them?

He did a full rant on this yesterday, disputing the spin.

5. LOL the "fake weapon story"

These guys are pathetic. They really think they can spin this hard enough to make it out to be "fake".

9. Hey, what's the big idea of posting these idiotic freep posts?
If I wanted to see that crap I would go and look at it. Shit on these guys and what they think, it is all without merit.

10. A lot of people post freeper crap, but this means that
The GOP is so Desperate that they have to use the Freepers to run their campaign. If we want to know what Republicans are up to we don't have to look for Karl Rove. Just see what the idiot Freepers are up to because that is who is running Bush's campaign it seems.
