Repubs to "blanket" the airways about Kerry's military records...
Takes a lot of nerve for someone who went AWOL to pick at Kerry's military record...


For some reason, I've been getting "alerts" from Ed Gillespie about what they're "up" to.

This is their latest ploy....

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie will appear on the following television programs today to discuss John Kerry's failure to release his military records:

4:15 p.m. -- CNN's Inside Politics
5:00 p.m. -- FOX News' Big Story
7 p.m. -- CNBC's Capital Report

Republican National Committee Spokeswoman Christine Iverson will appear on FOX News' Dayside with Linda Vester today at 1:30 p.m. to discuss John Kerry's failure to release his military records.

14. Thank you! Who - besides the neo-cons,
bush supporters and fundies - gives a rat's ass whether Kerry had 1 purple heart or 5,000?? Anyone who really gives a flying f**k probably wouldn't vote for him anyway.

And the HYPOCRISY of a bunch of chickenhawks going after Kerry for his military record. I think I am going insane. Everything is so bizarre to me these days.

8. If the media actually does their job, they'll mention the AWOL issue
Edited on Wed Apr-21-04 12:04 PM by gore-is-my-president
AND point the fact that he's released the records out to them. Fat Chance that will happen...

12. McAuliff blanket the airwaves? HOW????
Edited on Wed Apr-21-04 12:05 PM by BostonTeaParty04
the airwaves are owned and used exclusively by the republicans.

That's the problem.

These assholes can say whatever they want - lies, innuendos, whatever -- and get away with it.

We will get someone like Lieberman or Biden to 'go to bat' for us for 5 minutes on Sunday or something...

The real problem is the american people. God we are a stupid, greedy, hateful bunch......... we thrive on this attack mentality.

The kerry campaign will have to spend the next 6 weeks DEBUNKING all the lies... but the smear based on falshoods will still linger on in the backs of everyone's heads.

just dead air space should cover it all.

I am REALLY sick of the networks being used as the pulpit for the repuke attack machine....

And the FEC wants to shut down 527s????

Sick to death of this shit.

11. Why aren't they afraid that...
...this will reignite the Bush military records controversy? What happened to THAT story? Last I heard, they had some record of Bush visiting a dentist or something.
