Just got this message from Bush/Cheney campaign

[Contrary1]

Let's make sure we do the same....

Dear ____,

I am appalled.

In Missouri, a flyer shows a photograph of a young black man under a fire hose in the 1950s.  The flyer tells African-Americans this is an example of how Republicans have kept voters from the polls.  In Colorado, Republican voters got calls telling them their family members in Iraq had died.  The callers claimed that call would be real unless Kerry was elected.

In these final days, we can only expect more of this filth.

I urge you to turn on your answering machine.  If you get a call from an unknown number, let the machine pick it up.  It may be the latest campaign of smear, fear and lies from our opponents.

If you get one of these disgusting calls, or an outrageous flyer or mailing, save the message, call our hotline and let us know.

1-888-610-8170

Just a few weeks ago we saw a Kerry campaign manual that told their staff to allege intimidation even if no evidence existed.  Now their allies have begun an incredibly dishonest and disgusting campaign of shadowy calls and misleading flyers.

We need to know immediately if you get one of these calls.  We need to know the lies, threats, and distortions those allied against us are spreading.

With very few days left, we need you to be our eyes and ears on the ground. 

Call our hotline at 1-888-610-8170 if you get any suspicious messages.

Thanks for all you have done, and all you continue to do.

Sincerely,
Ken Mehlman

4. Hey, Ken

I saw a horrible flyer that said that if we vote for Democrats, they'll ban the Bible and allow gay marriage. It was really disgusting.

Oh, wait, that was a Republican flyer! Never mind, fucktard.

6. Ken's just upset because his own job is about to be outsourced.

Eliminated completely, actually, and his master sent back to Crawford. ;)

7. Crank Yankers Anyone???

Sorry, our local operation is lucky to have enough people to conduct all the canvass calls we have to make to play pranks...and I'm sure that's the same at all other precincts around the country.

This reminds me of the scene in Citizen Kane where the choice has to be made between which two headlines to run the day after Kane loses...either "Kane Victorious" or "Massive Voter Fraud Reported". This is the modern version.

Looks like Melman's the Colson of this operation...the muscle man...and you can bet he'll have "evidence" of these calls or flyers. As someone else noted, the printing presses and recording studio are hard at work as I type.

A GREAT CATCH. Thanks for the heads-up. Let's see how fast this moves from a "memo" to talking points on CNNservative. My bets are this is Friday's "big story"...feed into the weekend.
