Okay DU'ers. The NASTIES just went after our candidate's WIFE!

SIC that stupid O'Lielly! Franken, get on his CASE!

1. Not that I *DON'T* put it past him but...

...do you have a transcript of what was said on the show? The first link points to a blog, which asserts that he attacked Kerry's wife.

No transcript, no other verifiable info...

Before we jump into the fray, let's try and get a verify on this one, mkay?

Edited to put the "don't" in the title here... Dôh!

2. That web site, Newshounds is linked with ....

... the Center for American Progress and Greenwald's documentary "Outfoxed". I realize you are trying to be fair to Bill O'Reilly (WTF???). However, I would not put it past him to try and 'Hillary" Teresa Heinz Kerry ....

And even if O'Lielly hemmed and hawed about this guy's info - there is NO EXCUSE for this type of BULLSH** disguised as NEWS ....

[NV1962]

3. "O'Reilly" and "fairness" are like Bush and peace

I'm not interested in being fair to that scumbag - I just want to be reasonably certain.

CAP and Greenwald are AOK - but still, I'd like to see more "hard" stuff first on this, before I virtually kick his shins.

John Kerry has been *VERY* clear about keeping spouses (among others) out of the fray... "Or everything is on the table."

The Bushistas don't want that. Not even by proxy. There's simply too much on George W Bush and those around him, to survive a real slugfest with no punches held back.

Believe me, I'd *LOVE* to see the gloves come off. But I'd like to see 'em try that with my own, uh, "lieing eyes" first!

(Dang, I'm slow on the keyboard today! Aaaarrrggghhh...)

5. Yeah, I get your point ....

... but I am SO SICK of just TAKING IT from these a-holes. They spin and hem and haw and distract the American public with the news equivalent of shiny objects ... "Look, the tragic murder of a pregnant woman" and "Hey, here is a useless lie about SOCKS" ....

This Berger thing sent me over the edge. Ya know, I took the time and READ the entire 500 plus pages of the 9/11 report. Went out of my way to download it. I am working through the footnotes now. And there is NO WAY any fair minded person can conclude anything else except that BUSH is a colossal f**k-up of epic proportions, who was asleep at the switch when 3000 people got killed. Who is STILL not focused on the real enemy, who has diverted valuable resources to a tragic and mis-guided war ....

I am not a peacnik (not that there is anything wrong with that). I am a moderate and an independent. I loved and worked for John McCain in 2000 (although, he has disappointed the sh** out of me lately). And even I can see how messed up the war on terra and the direction of the country is. Why can't the media see that? Why don't they value the lives lost in an unnecessary war as much as I do?

Damn.

4. Why can't they sue for libel?

Is it really OK to say anything you want about a public figure, no matter how false? Could I run ads calling Bush* a child molester?

6. I'm pretty sure that you could indeed, run ads like that.

They might backfire, though.
