White House Accuses Kerry, Surrogates of Guard Attacks

The White House on Thursday accused Democrat John Kerry and his surrogates of instigating a new attack on President Bush's Vietnam-era National Guard service because Kerry is dropping in opinion polls.

-snip-

After weeks of Republican criticism of Kerry's decorated war service in Vietnam, Democrats tried to turn the tables on Wednesday with a barrage of questions about whether Bush fulfilled his military obligations in the Texas Air National Guard in the early 1970s.

The charges included documents that indicated Bush did not meet performance standards and received favorable treatment. A group called Texans for Truth launched a new ad in which a lieutenant colonel in the Alabama Air National Guard questions whether Bush ever performed his service during a stint in Alabama.

"I think you absolutely are seeing a coordinated attack by John Kerry and his surrogates on the president," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan. "The polls show Senator Kerry falling behind and it's the same old recycled attacks that we've seen every time the president has come up for election."

9. I hope Karl Rove understands payback.

He started down this path and now come the consequences.

Screw them. No quarter , no prisoners.

3. The questions have never been answered, Doofus-boy...he's such a

little turd. They keep coming up because they HAVEN'T BEEN ANSWERED!

5. "Only we're supposed to be able to do that-wa-a-a-a-a-ah"

Poor babies.

Of course one difference is that the official documents showed the attacks on Kerry were horseshit...and that the official documetns showed the attacks on Chimpy were TRUE.

"the same old recycled attacks that we've seen every time"
Then they shouldn't have any problem re-releasing the documents that show how pResident Toot lived up to his obligations....oops!

[yellowcanine]

6. Of course little Scottie gives no evidence for this, does he? Saying it

doesn't make it so, Scottie. Did even one reporter ask him for evidence of this coordinated attack?

[wurzel]

7. I only hope McClellan is right. Still no denial though.

[GainesT1958]

8. No, actually...

Kerry's surrogates are just spreading the TRUTH, and Dub thinks it's hell!:D

B-)

[2Design]

10. So what are they able to state this ...and bury it....they seem to

state things and it has a period at the end of the sentence. Even though theirs are lies. How do they do that? How do they get everyone to go along with it to?

[wtmusic]

11. What poll is Scottie looking at?

It's 2004, Scott.

[NC_Nurse]

12. Well...

show us the web of connections and funding that WE have seen about the Swift Boat Assholes. C'mon Scott, don't just put out the usual WEAK shit and expect everyone to believe it. Do your homework and find some people who ACTUALLY served with Chimpy!

Good luck! BWAAAAHAAAHAAAA!

[Rose Siding]

13. The "WH accuses" and not the "Bush campaign accuses"?

We're probably breaking laws in that Act that supports faux Patriotism.

[thebeaglehaslanded]

14. And his point is?

Duh!

[Career Prole]

15. There's a big difference this time, Scotty...

This time your boss ain't changing the subject, and neither are you.
Does the White House have a "doggy-door" for Barney and you?

[luaneryder]

19. We should leave Barney out of this

:)

[Career Prole]

20. I'm with ya...

Barney wouldn't let Scotty use his door anyway! :)

[dave29]

16. Rather than stick around and defend his boss

his top campaign spokesman, Terry Holt, bolted today.

[MrBenchley]

17. As Atrios says, somehow you won't see the headline

"Staff Shake-Up at Faltering Bush Campaign".....

[wicket]

25. How can anyone even still think our media is remotely liberal?!

I just don't get it.

[slojim240]

18. OK. But is the stuff true? Surrogates or no...what is the truth?

The Swiftees were proven to be liars. Prove CBS to be lying. I rest my case.

[wicket]

22. They haven't even denied it yet!

I would think that they would have denied it by now if it were not true.

[shanti]

21. wahhhhhhhhh!

:nopity:

[Career Prole]

23. Don't blame us, "White House"...it's Pappy Bush's fault.

For an extra 50 grand he could've bought the "Deluxe Honorable Discharge" which also includes those important "Authentic-Looking Supporting Documents".
Cheap sonuvabitch...

24. sean "fu#$%$g" hannitay

[wicket]

29. They definitely deserve each other!

:evilgrin:

[George W. Dunce]

28. Kerry told him twice

Stick to the issues, he didn't want to listen, he's to much of a tough guy for that. Now deal with it Dunce boy!! I am sure Kerry is behind this just as Shrub was behind the Swiftboat Idiots. Kerry said all along he wasn't going to be intimidated by these thugs.

[devinsgram]

30. They are never goin to get it.

It is definetly above their grasp. When are people going to learn that what you put out always comes back.

[sambird90]

31. dirty dirty dirty

[TankLV]

33. I should hope to hell so!

And it's WAY overdue!

There's one big difference, tho...

They hit us with lies, and we hit us with the TRUTH!

It's more than "payback's a bitch" - it's sweer JUSTICE!

[area51]

34. Scotty, the Bush lap-dog said:

"... every time the president has come up for election."

Freudian slip? It is indeed "election", not re-election.

[wicket]

35. kick!

:kick:

[rocktivity]

36. Kerry accused Bush of the Smear-Boaters attacks

And Bush never denied it. Oh, wait--there WERE ties between the Smear-Boaters and the Bush campaign. Isn't it funny how everyone's acting as though the Smear-Boaters never happened?


"I'M supposed to be picking on YOU--you're not supposed to be picking on me back! You'd better stop, or I'm telling my daddy on you! WAHHHHHHHH!"

:headbang:

37. Bush hasn't denied the 60 minutes allegations either

You'd think they would have by now if they weren't true.
