MSNBC makes Bush's charges of Kerry flip-flops legitimate in poll
Edited on Thu Mar-11-04 03:05 PM by bigtree

Today MSNBC reported on a poll that the hack said showed that "taking both sides on issues" was the problem Americans had most with Kerry, completing the propaganda cycle that began in Rove's office.

Kerry's remarks about lying, crooked republicans is a perfect foil to Bush's smear campaign. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4507585/) Now Kerry needs to expand on that theme and put more focuson Bush lies.

Interesting how Kerry got the spotlight and the headlines back on the overheard slam with the White House crying for an apology.

3. Those idiots can't go five minutes without being hypocritical
"If you ask me, he's getting off on the wrong foot in this campaign by name-calling"
Next line:
"We see John Kerry as Ted Kennedy on a South Beath diet."

4. A recent article on FAIR noted that Tom Brokaw did something similar
Brokaw accepted the RNC/Rove/Bush crap as gospel truth. Typical NBC/MSNBC/GE slime.

6. Then they slip the charge in a poll question as if the conjecture is fact
That's about as good an illustration of a one-two punch as you'll see.

Word of the day: Crooked.(a.) Not straightforward; deviating from rectitude; distorted from the right.

5. As Kerry noted, Bush has no record to run on, only a record to run from
He's got nothin', so they will resort as usual to personal attacks and lies, all the while whining and crying about having the facts pointed out about their deceptive and shamless behavior.
What a bunch of fucking losers...it makes me literally physically ill sometimes to listen to the garbage these people spew and their unwillingness to take what they so freely and frequently dish out.

8. Let them make BIG fools of themselves
Let them run far out ahead, dropping bombs and drawing attention to themselves. Let them get it ALL out. When you're SURE they have it ALL out, that is when you turn into them and take them out in one fell swoop.
