freepers working hard to smear Theresa Heinz Kerry
The freepers are busting their butts to influence the reporting on Mrs. Kerry's contributions from her philanthropic trust. Trying to make it look as if she organized the protesting of Bush's campaign ads, because she contributes to moveon.org and because at least one of the mad survivors is a known Democratic activist with an organization supported by Mrs. Kerry.

They're making mass phone calls to the NYTimes national desk, and working on other news people, too.

I notified the NYT desk that they are the target of an orchestrated campaign from a right-wing extremist site.

It would help if some of us could get involved in the fracas. Otherwise, the news outlets capitulate to them.

I love the part that says Scaife's wife contributed to Kerry!

2. Well...
Mrs. Heinz-Kerry stated a few months ago that if any personal attacks were launched in her direction, she would do a George Soros and contribute a significant amount of money to organizations dedicated to the defeat of Dubya in the fall.

I would suspect that this would be a trigger. Gee, if Mr Soros gives $100 million and Mrs. Heinz-Kerry gives a like amount to moveon.org and other groups dedicated to this goal, it would just about cancel out Dubya's $150-200 million, wouldn't it?

And, since media outlets are nothing but greedy, they'd love the windfall of up to $400 million dollars to spend. And I find the moveon.org and other 527 organizations' advertisements more believable . . . especially in our part of the country which is losing jobs and having extreme long term unemployment (which is going down because people are moving away -- not going back into the labor force).

Guess those 320,000 jobs a month aren't gonna come to western Arkansas :-(.
