To: Mo1: Burkett's been trying to Slime President Bush's TANG service since the last eleciton. He's been quoted by many news organizations, claiming that Dan Bartlett and the Bush team "cleansed" the Texas National Guard archives of damaging materials in preparation for President Bush's run for the White House.
In fact, there's evidence
[http://web.archive.org/web/20010331210012/www.talion.com/georgebush.html] that Bill Burkett and his cronies hired "Red Dog Publicists" at Talion.com to try to push the Bush is AWOL story in conjunction with the Bush DUI story in November 2000.
Despite protestations to the contrary on their website, talion.com seems to be a front for DNC opposition research. One of the principals of talion.com (their website is down now; the record was conveniently last changed on 9/10), Bev Harris, is currently pushing the electronic voting machines may be hacked story on the Internet. This seems to be a DNC-backed effort to cast doubt on the vote in Florida before it even occurs.

I know I'm really out of it because I never heard of Bev Harris or BBV until weeks after the election. Am I reading correctly that Bev Harris was associated with the website Talion.com, which you suspect is (or was) part of the opposition research arm of the DNC? If Harris was part of Talion, is she some rogue agent who saw the possibilities of fleecing the Dummies because of Talion's set-up and went off on her own, or is this some semi-official plan by the DNC to shake down their own constituents post-election?
