Re swiftliars....
Edited on Fri Dec-30-05 05:00 PM by blm
ProSense and bigtree posted a great compilation of links featuring Kerry's defense.

I think it would be an enormous service to us and the Dem party if ProSense reposts the reply in a thread of its own and includes the pertinent references and links in bigtree's posts, too.

1. sandnsea and others did it many times
and they never get responses as you see in the anti Kerry threads which are about nothing of substance other than getting an emotional release and amens from the typical crowd.

also, just look at the response to the post in that thread. of course that person is a regular basher but still these people don't care.

2. Well, you know I believe in being redundant. I think we repeat and repeat
until it is viewed as irrefutable fact by most of DU. Dems may not stay on message, but, us JK supporters can. ;)

It's not like us longtimers give in easily, eh? ;))))))

Education for all and all that jazz.

Proof the broadcast media won't repeat or report facts supporting Democrats.

Example: Swiftliars and Kerry defense efforts

6. You did a great job
The problem is that different people had different ideas of what fighting back meant. We couldn't get them to help with the strategy the campaign took last year either. The haters will just choose the one thing the campaign didn't do and pretend that it would have turned everything around. The truth is that they know *they* let Kerry down last year when they criticized him instead of the swift boaters. They could have been Kerry's echo, and echoed the swift boat bullshit instead.

7. The other problem is money.
They don't realize that there are campaign funding rules at play.

Kerry in the Christmas AAR interview mentioned the opting out issue related to how much funds were available during the period after the convention.

8. That was discussed at length
These people have been told and told and told about that and that the so-called left over money couldn't be used because of the public funding rules. They just don't care.

4. you are right
at the very least the lurkers and new people will be able to see it. the regular bashers and those with agendas will be the loudest but we have to think about those who are neutral .

9. I thought the responses on that thread today
informed those who were sitting on the fence about Kerry or were still hurt for whatever reason over the election debacle and for those frequent bashers - the responses made them shut up.

I posted links and info at the Dem Daily forum for future reference.

Prosense, MH1 and LevensonK wrote amazing responses, IMO.

Who don't want Kerry period. That's the kind of stuff I was talking about in my reply to Vektor's thread.

12. Peeps?
Not sure what that is - I assume you don't mean those yellow marshmellow chicks we eat at Easter? :)

14. I just meandered over here to thank everyone
involved in that thread. Thanks for your knowledge, your art of communication, and for remaining reasonable when, at times, that wouldn't have been my reaction. :yourock: :yourock: :yourock:
