The New Attack Method Against Kerry

[MaryH]

Did you notice? Yesterday or the day before. Now Kerry is "losing his cool" and he's "wild eyed."

The same thing they did to McCain. Made him look like he couldn't control his temper. Was too unstable.

The Slime for Truth Brigade.

Someone has got to stop these guys!

Kerry and Edwards need to start pushing back. Putting all of these
attacks out there and slamming back! You cannot be nice to these guys. The only thing they will understand is a boot in the face.

1. They are hitting back...

...and the punches are landing. Evidence is mounting of gross violations against campaign financing laws, ethical breeches, and all around dirty tricks on the part of the Bush campaign. The new ad is great. We're not being nice. And we'll do it with or without the BushCo corpowhore media...

3. Are 'ethical breeches' to be contrasted....

...with 'unethical breeches', say, like Neil Bush's, that won't stay on or stay up?

{Sorry -- it's the schoolteacher in me. I'll be taking it out on live adolescents next week, and the boards will be safe again.}

7. God, I hope so!

Politics is always ugly, I guess. But this is so far over the line.

These guys need to be in prison - not in the WH.

Fortunately, Kerry and Edwards are both attorneys. That has got to be a plus. They know how to fight back legally.

But they say that its not a good idea to push Kerry too far - he pushes back. And he's not one bit afraid of a fight. I sure hope that's right because he needs to start pushing back. But legally.

2. New K/E press release mentions that.

Bush Campaign Used Code Words to Question McCain’s Temper. “A smear campaign of the ugliest sort is now coursing through the contest for the presidency in 2000. Using the code word "temper," a group of Senate Republicans, and at least some outriders of the George W. Bush campaign, are spreading the word that John McCain is unstable. The subtext, also suggested in this whispering campaign, is that he returned from 5 1/2 years as a POW in North Vietnam with a loose screw. And it is bruited about that he shouldn't be entrusted with nuclear weapons.”

Other subject mentioned: Calling McCain the fag candidate, McCain's gay affair, his wife's drug problem, their illegitimate black child, McCain's insanity, McCain's treason, McCain's fling with a black prostitute, and Sampley's work against McCain.

I didn't even remember all of that crap.

4. Accusing Kerry of "losing his cool" and being "wild eyed" is like...

...accusing Bush of being a genius.

They may be trying to sell this talking point, but no one's gonna buy it. It doesn't match with the image of Kerry that's already out there.

5. They do contrast don't they?

Maybe they are hoping we are too dumb to figure it out

6. Yeah, because last week he was "nuanced" and...

..."sensitive". Now he's "wild-eyed" and "mean"...another flip-flop. The BushCo team follow a script, and they ain't gonna deviate from it.

[MaryH]

8. I Wish Someone Would Question Bush's "Religion"

This man makes anyone who claims to be Christian look like the worst kind of scuz.

I wish mainline Christians would start to criticize his concept of religion. Of his concept of compassion. His concept of what is Right and Acceptable.

Christians shouldn't take this crap!

9. It's NOT new

They did the very same thing to McCain, said he was mentally ill.

BTW, They did the very same thing to Wes Clark during the primary. Rove sent word out to his echo chamber to destroy Clark before he took hold. Same deal, his medals were a fraud and he was mentaly ill, crazy.

Nothing new here at all!

[MaryH]

10. Aren't there videos of these events

that someone could paste together. Put them on a time line. Show the vicious pattern of Rove and his boys.

There has got to be a way to stop this.

[AmerDem]

12. Here, this is Kerry's very new online ad

It's a start, i'm sure this will go over well. I would think they have one planned for tv time...at least I hope.

[Leilani]

16. Right

They said Wes Clark was Dr. Strangelove, & had tried to start WW III.

11. Rove Attack #8...Howard Dean Scream/Too Radical

Anytime a Democrat raises his/her voice, displays any emotion or says something other than nice things about Bunnypants, they are labeled: Wild or "Out of Control"

Al Gore is always in this mode, as is Howard Dean, Michael Moore, Al Franken and any Democrat with a pair on him/her. Now Kerry is formally a part of that group.

Scotty-boy was trying a hail mary on the press to see if they could run the Kerry attacks over and over and give it the "Dean" treatment...saying how "reckless" the charges were and so on. Of course CNNservative is spreading that meme, but even Faux can't stoop into that dogshit.

Notice this defense is always put in play when the regime expects things to get worse...going into "martyr" mode...or how Bunnypants is being "hated" or attacked personally. The good news is this meme has worn thin as more and more people actually hate Bunnypants and his henchmen.

Ain't it a pisser when what worked so well a year ago doesn't even make it out of the press room now? Helen Thomas must be starting to feel good.

13. watched Clinton of Daily Show

(repeat was so good I watched it again)

He spoke as strongly as I've ever seen him that it's time for dems to fight back against Rove's dirty tricks.

Maybe it's catching on. Love Kerry's new ad on website..wish it was being broadcast on tv.

14. They Just Got Through Calling Him "Cold" and "Wooden". Didn't They?

They'll dis him whatever he does or says.

15. Media did it to Dean too. . .
