Oct. 3, 2003 | WASHINGTON (AP) -- Missouri Republican Sen. Kit Bond on Thursday fired his communications director for running a political Web site named for the tail number of a plane that crashed in 2000, killing the state's Democratic governor.

The site's title -- N8354N -- "is not random," a note on the Web site read. "It marks an inflection point in current Missouri politics. On that day, the worm began to turn." Content was removed from the site early Thursday morning.

3. The type of moralistic person attracted to the republican party.

Probably supports assasinations if it helps the party.

4. the murderer mentality...

is intrinsic to the repuke radicalism. (code: Carnahan, like Wellstone, was murdered by the busheviks) and they gloat over it

5. No longer LBN... locking

This issue, while important, was first brought up in the LBN Forum on Thursday October 2, in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=144508

In the interest of keeping LBN a "lean, mean, headline news machine," and in compliance with the 12-hour rule, please do not kick the above thread by responding to it.

Instead, please feel free to begin a new discussion in the General Discussion Forum about the inner workings of meanness in the Missouri Republican Party.

Thanks!
