The REAL beauty of this CBS thing is...
(a) right-wing bloggers invented a conspiracy theory.

(b) the Faux media picked up on it- and directed everyone to CBS news...

(c) who let loose with both barrels, and let loose with MORE damaging info on Bush/AWOL, and thereby converted a sh*tload of undecideds to our camp.

If you know a right-wing blogger, thank him. We need help like that!

1. you're right
Dan Rather threw it right back in their faces.

Right wingers all over the land are seething with rage right now. I love it.

4. I want to hear the media criticize * for taking so long to respond to the
charges the same way they did to Kerry. Think it will happen? Of course it won't. :puke:

6. Silly Freepers... don't they know
any publicity is good publicity?

9. Had a pundit guy on to talk about it
Hume says right off the bat, with no discussion of the actual content, "There is a lot of talk about how these documents are fake going around on the Internet!"

Pundit says, "Yes, there is, and an expert we contacted, who wishes to remain nameless, says that although they might have been typed, are probably forgeries and very well could have be produced on a word processor"

Hume gets one of those shitty little looks on his face and that's it.

10. Rule Number One: If you can back up your claims, you name your experts.
Your present your evidence and stand your ground. If you can't, you always quote "unnamed experts" and slither away.

11. The real beauty (part II)
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 06:57 PM by MazeRat7
While all that is true, this story will remain in the media for days. Most likely eclipsing any "gains" or "exploits" the WH had planned for the 9/11 anniversary.

My point being, any speeches or attempts to show GW as an honest and decisive leader tomorrow will have to contend with this story as well. Without it, there would be another day of hand-jobs by chimp and his handlers....

just my 2cents,

12. Sweet. I forgot about that...
I can see the stories..."9/11 tribute"..."AWOL AWOL AWOL"

The other good thing is now other reporters will want scoops, and this may blow open wider than AWOL!

And there's lots of mud left to sling.

MY ....PET...GOAT
