4. Swiftboating can only work with the help of the media
Remember how the media kept playing the ads over and over, even after they had been taken down. Then the media blames the victim for not acting to refute the swiftboating soon enough. The media tries to alter the election many ways. They hire James Zogby types to try to build a feeling of momentum for the favored candidates. They ignore when they want to and show sharks, alligators and missing people instead. Watch it come to pass.

5. If only Don Siegelman could get 1/12th of the media coverage
given to smear a man's service to his country. Cowards. And Bain Investments or whatever Mitt's American job eatting firm is owns Clear Channel now. We certainly have our work cut our for us.

7. Didn't know that.
Perhaps this can serve as a start:

Joe Scarborough and Corporate McPravda want you to forget Lori Klausutis

8. The good guys are outspent by the rich Nazis.


And that translates to who gets to hire the clowns.

9. Because John wouldn't fight back
His performance was so poor, makes me wonder sometimes if he was a "plant".

10. Look at what happened to allhatnocattle.com for posting articles
about Lori Klausutis. No spin just the articles from the NWFL paper that covered the dead intern.
