The explosive story hurts.

I am so disgusted by all of this. How I wish that Brit Hume was simulcast over all Fox tv stations. After flipping through the MSM 6:30 newscasts, I can tell you, they are gonna pound this to the very end. And I think the White House has dropped the ball by not forcefully coming out blazing at this story. After watching Blather and Brokejaw ( I missed the canuck ) I have the most sinking feeling in my stomach. I will still be going door to door here in Manatee county Friday, Saturday & Monday, and waving signs Tuesday. But man I feel crappy and disheartened right now. I hope we all here at FR can offer support to each other during this final, hectic, MSM attack filled week.

Give them enough rope.

This is perfect for the 'say and do anything' come back. Don't be too quick to judge.

Rooster, I do not think this story has the kind of easily grasped resounence (sp??? I can't spell, sorry) to really do damage. I, myself, tune out any story that deals with weapons, armaments, etc. I couldn't tell you what weapons systems Kerry voted against, except maybe all of them. This story may penetrate the male mind, but all of those guys are going to vote for Bush (or Kerry) anyway. I don't think the "security moms" are going to even hear it.

Don't mistake me for an optimist, I'm not. This is just my opinion on this. And, btw, if this was the big October Suprise, it's a pretty pathetic attempt, AND they blew the delivery.

GET OUT THE VOTE!

GO SOX!

The reason is because they don't exactly know what happened to those explosives/weapons. They can't jump on it and say difinitively they weren't there and then some reporter somewhere pull out a picture. That would be much worse.

We really need a Freeper "doom and gloom, the glass isn't just half empty, it's going to break and cut someone's artery" graphic for threads like this.

BUSH is DOWN over 5 points on Iowa Electronic Markets and Kerry is UP 5 points! Could THIS be why! DAMN, I thought this was a false story.

I think the President doesn't want to look like Kerry - going off half-cocked all the time.

The Republicans have responded several times to this, and so has NBC. I think you need to wait a couple of days and see how this plays out. There is the concept of letting them take it, hook, line and sinker you know. ;-)

Here you go, rooster. Chin up. We're going to win this one, and it will all be over by November 3rd. You won't have to listen to Mr. Negativity bashing a man who is so much better than he is that one doesn't know where to start. We'll be looking forward to the wedding of at least one of the twins in the White House. We'll get glimpses of the lovely first lady on the dose. Powell will leave after a decent interval and some Reganesque type take his place...maybe Condi (hehehe). Be of good cheer, my FRiend. All will be well.

13. What does "on the dose" mean? n/t

[Old and In the Way]

24. An errant slip of the tongue.....

apparently the poster knows that Laura is on some heavy anti-depressents. "On the dose" must be how she copes with the idiot boyking.

Better living through chemistry.

[JusticeForAll]

7. Really the focus is on * incompetence

To use another DUers phrase I saw earlier today. It's not about dressing up a putrid piece of dung to emulate a silk handbag...

[Cha]

17. I know..I thought ..they don't give a

fat fuck how incompetent bush is..just that he doesn't get CAUGHT!

[w13rd0]

18. They hate us...

..for our freedoms...

[Bluebear]

19. And therein lies the central truth of their cult.

[Blue Gardener]

2. Stupid media

How dare they actually report the news!

[Mountainman]

4. Also how they blame the messenger and not the idiot in chief.

Freeptards listen up! Your guy did this not MSNBC or some other media outlet!

Someday I hope you learn to put responsibility where it belongs!

[Sporadicus]

5. Aren't All Good Freepers Supposed to Be on Their Knees in Prayer?

and turning off their TVs and radios and burning their newspapers? They're just going to work themselves into absolute conniptions and hissy fits!

[wicket]

6. It's the media;s fault, WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

Such babies! :nopity:

[onecent]

8. The freeper's reading format is sure difficult to read. n/t

[HuskerDem]

28. Less difficult really - more like boring

tedious, unimaginative, heinously predictable, void of intelligence, void of reason, void of light.

Kind of like a porta-potty in hell.

[geek tragedy]

9. They are shitting themselves over the weapons story.

They know they don't have an argument, and are going psycho.

[ciaobox]

10. ROFL - They think Rove has some magic trick under his horns

what a bunch of podunk morons!

[shelley806]

27. I guess I'm a podunk moron.

I spent all day studying Mr. Rove's evil. He has too much at stake, and he is very capable of being very ugly. I'm waiting too. I worried that this explosion story was going to be another Rathergate, and it might turn out to just appear that way--they're certainly trying to spin. I don't trust Rove. And if he made promises, I fear they might be kept.



"I'm still waiting for those surprises Rove promised us."
as per above

[durablend]

11. I so hope they all burst into flames

When we win.

[JusticeForAll]

12. This one is great!! Relying on IGNORANCE!!

God, what f*ing idiots!!! They are hoping voters will be IGNORANT to * incompetence!!! They want this fool so bad, they are hoping that Americans will BURY their heads in the sand (sound familiar??!?!) instead of thinking this out and voting with REASON and SANITY! These people are unfortunately part of the pathetic pool of people that determine our leadership and direction of this country. I hope after we ELECT KERRY by a landslide and induct him as President AND that freepers, like this one, MOVE somewhere else (like they threaten) and get the leadership they DESERVE.

Not all freepers are bad...just the truly ignorant ones that defy all logic to support an unsupportable candidate.

25. "Not all freepers are bad..."

I've found that a high percentage of the reasonable posts there are from DU trolls who are provoked into trying to talk sense into them.

After we win this election I think it would be fun for our trolls to reveal themselves and publish best-of mischief. That would be a hoot.

[high density]

14. NBC News kicked the White House in the nuts tonight over

the distortion of their report.

[Piperay]

15. Hey Nitwits, It's YOUR

morAn who botched up everything!

[LynnTheDem]

16. they sure don't give a shit about the TROOPS KILLED and WOUNDED

because bush never bothered to secure ammo dumps/munitions depots/explosives.

BASTARDS.

[Bluebear]

20. This is HUGH, morans!

[ibegurpard]

21. Hi, Hugh!

:hi:

[karlrschneider]

22. Yeah, I can't figure out who the hell this Hugh guy is...........

:evilgrin:

[Gothmog]

23. LOL Freepers are so stupid that this is funny

The reason that this story has legs is that it is true. Even Rove can not change the facts. How exactly did the idiots on the free republic expect Bush and Rove to make this story go away??

The truth is that Bush did not plan for the peace and one of the things that slid through the cracks was the ammo dumps. Senator Kerry mentioned the Bush failure to secure the ammo dumps a couple of weeks ago and now that attack is looking golden.

The fact that the freepers are freaking out is so very very funny. They are the ones imploding.

[priapis]

26. Alibi DOA. CBS Interviews Commndr of 1st Unit On Scene. No Search/Secure

end of alibi.

-

The commander of the first unit into the area told CBS he did not search it for explosives or secure it from looters. "We were still in a fight," he said. "our focus was killing bad guys." He added he would have needed four times more troops to search and secure all the ammo dumps he came across.

revenge is sweet for CBS.
