Washington Prowler: Kerry Behind Attacks on Bush ads
American Spectator ^ | Published 3/8/2004 12:07:49 AM | By The Prowler

Despite denials that the Kerry campaign criticized the Bush ads, the Kerry camp did reach out family members of people killed on 9/11 whom they knew were supporters of Kerry and asked if they'd be willing to denounce the ads publicly. Those people were given the names of assignment editors at cable news channels and network news outlets, as well as talking points for them to use if they were interviewed.

That and it was all Mrs. Heinz-Kerry's money as laundered through the Heinz Foundation to the Tides Foundation to Peaceful Tomorrows.

How could Kerry do this to me? I feel so betrayed. :) (Sarcasm) HA!

This isn't surprising.

Did anyone see any of the firefighter Union Ads for John Kerry? I heard on Fox and Friends that they have images of 9/11 in them too. Why aren't the 9/11 families making noise about that?

Pretty interesting that the Kerry people are supposedly hacked at the DNC about the fact that the survivors on the TV circuit have done a crummy job anyway. The additional airing the ads have had at no expense to the Bush/Cheney campaign is a great help.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, the link doesn't yield the article that is mentioned in the Post. (?)

It's at least encouraging that this despicable behavior is getting some public attention.

Even though it won't get air time in the mainstream media, there's plenty of time for the 'legs' to carry this story to the American people.

Bump and a recommendation that this be called in to all media outlets, emailed, faxed and otherwise distributed.

I was appalled at Rita Cosby on FOX over the weekend, letting that woman lawyer from USC (former Dukakis campaign manager, can't remember her name) talk about the Bush ads and the idea of Bill Clinton as a VP candidate. Instead of noting that it was legally impossible, she claimed that Clinton is just too big to be placed in the number two spot.

Wrong. So far, the story has appeared only in conservative media or web sites. That's called preaching to the choir.

When it appears in the NY Times, Boston Globe and/or the Washington Post, as well as CDNNCBSNBCMSNB, then it will have legs.
