How Kerry Plans to Spin Debate ["As soon as the debate ends, we will e-mail you instructions"]
http://www.johnkerry.com/signup/mediacorps.php ^

Posted on 09/29/2004 5:29:15 PM PDT by Diago

This is a copy of an email I got.

Dear xxxxx,

John Kerry and George Bush will debate foreign policy for 90 minutes this Thursday, September 30, in the first of three presidential debates. As far as swing voters and the media are concerned, the real debate will begin once Kerry and Bush leave the stage: Who really won? Why?

If you can spare just five minutes after the debate, you can make a huge difference to the outcome of this election.

We are organizing a national post-debate, rapid-response effort that will reinforce Kerry's position on Iraq: Bush's Iraq is a catastrophic failure, a profound diversion from the battle against our greatest enemy -- al Qaeda. John Kerry has a plan to get us back on track in Iraq -- securing promised international support, training Iraq security forces, carrying out a reconstruction plan that brings real benefits to the Iraqi people, and taking the essential steps to hold the promised elections next year. When it comes to keeping America safe, John Kerry will do what needs to be done.

Join our rapid-response effort:

http://www.johnkerry.com/signup/mediacorps.php

As soon as the debate ends, we will e-mail you instructions. We can't provide you any more detail until the debate is over, except that all you'll need is access to e-mail and/or a telephone. Please make sure that you check your e-mail the moment the debate ends. Then, act as quickly as possible.

If you are planning on watching the debate with friends or classmates, you can make an even greater difference by organizing them to participate in our rapid-response effort.

As soon as we can figure out what it is.

do you think a lot of us freepers should sign up--and freep it by sending absolutely ridiculous messages out afterward? I would be willing to say "hey I went into these debates a Kerry supporter--but why didn't we explain where he stands on Iraq? and plus--the dude was ORANGE--I am starting to think he may be a little weird and creepy...."

Hey, let's all sign up! I'm curious as to what the instructions coming later are going to be! Sounds like fun! We can do the exact opposite of what they're telling their folks to do!

This is obviously a plan to orchestrate a response that Kerry won. Flood the media with "Tonight I discovered that Kerry has a clear plan in Iraq and Bush doesn't. He certainly won over this Republican. (Or Independent)."

Sounds like they plan to DUpe the public by DUmping on the results of some "post-debate" polls and hotlines.

They are going to try to swamp the mainstream media with their talking points. They going to basically going to try to coerce (as if any coercion was necessary) the mainstream media to report their talking points by overwhelming them with calls and emails and at the same time block any communication from Bush supporters. On the Internet this would be called a denial-of-service attack.

Maybe the pajamaheedins should organize a response of their own?

PRESIDENT BUSH IS ALREADY DOING ALL THIS.

Kerry has flip-flopped so much he is following Bush's agenda.

This is both an admission that Kerry is going to be crushed in the debate, and that the Kerry campaign doesn't even trust its supporters.

Yikes - this is creepy somehow.

Do any of you long-time political volunteers know if this is a commonplace tactic? I mean- to state the obvious- it's dishonest and manipulative. Do Republicans do this too? Does Bush/Cheney have a site like this?

Did you notice that box marked "I commit to writing one letter a week or calling in to one radio show a week in support of John Kerry." How pathetic is that? I didn't see anything like that on Bush's site.

In other words...I will do EVERYTHING Bush is doing except I have a SECRET plan and will just label him as a failure!

It would be funnier if the media picked up on this advance attempt to spin them on the outcome.
Send this to Powerline and LGF so they can see how little the debates mean to Kerry.

My thoughts exactly. What do they think he is doing? Do they think he has our soldiers over there playing solitaire or watching the dust blow? These guys make me sick.
