The right-wing is implying that Kerry is involved in illegal
enterprise. Actually, all they are doing is quoting certain Republican wackos that filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission re what 527-organizations like MoveOn can or cannot do during a federal election. It is disgusting to imply that Kerry is involved in something illegal in the article title (go to Newsmax.com to see article) when all it refers to is what is in a baseless complaint that calls for clarification as to what's permissible under the policies. Naturally, I'm sure my wingnut relatives are convinced there is 'evidence' of illegality. Warning--all your wingnut relatives and friends will probably be mentioning it.

2. It's good to remember that
Malcolm X often said he could measure the amount of good he was doing by how loud his enemy yelped.

4. That's how they work.
The shotgun approach. Make stuff up, if necessary. The other side will expend so much energy shooting it all down they won't have time or money left to deliver their message. And then you attack them for not having their own plan.

We saw it with Clinton - they threw EVERYTHING at him. Every charge. Doesn't matter that everything was dismissed (by Ken Starr!) and all that remained was a consensual affair. It paid off in 2000 with "Clinton fatigue" - lots of voters thought Clinton's presidency was scandal-plagued (FAUX still refers to that constantly) yet none of the would-be "scandals" flushed out. Nothing wrong done in Whitewater, Travelgate, FBI Filegate, Vince Foster, Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, etc., etc.

6. Somebody get these guys copies of the Constitution
with pertinent parts high-lighted, like maybe The Bill of Rights and remind them that corporations aren't the only ones who get the right of free speech.

7. Top 10 Kerry Crimes
To be proactive, a list of 10 other Kerry crimes:

Way too much hair for an "old" guy.
Smokin' rich wife for an "old" guy.
Way too athletic for an "old" guy.
Traitorous Boston accent shows "elite" prep schooling.
Has some nice houses, way too nice for a politician, if you get my drift.
Was not killed in Vietnam. Coward.
Is too tall to be President, makes other world leaders look short.
Too smart to be President, makes "W" feel stupid.
Played rock music when young. You know what that means (Sex, Drugs and...)

and his number 1 crime against America:

Failure to genuflect before pictures of the (p)Resident.

10. Newsmax forwarded a pornographic email to a Democratic child in 2000
It was the subject of an FBI investigation until the FBI traced it to a particular site in Texas and then suddenly dropped the investigation.
