PHONY OUTRAGE STORY BREAKING HARD --- Hannity is on it; can mainstream media keep hiding?

dfu, Hannity show | 3-8-04 | dfu

Ladies and gentlemen, it is breaking hard right before our eyes. Sean Hannity is talking now about the phony outrage story regarding the President Bush ads.

We are going to find that the RATS contacted family members who are anti-war, anti-Bush and who lost relatives on 9-11. We will find they were given the phone numbers of newsrooms. We will find they were given talking points.

Although some who called got out of hand, we got the NY TIMES to take notice of the story. They were deluged with phone calls. I understand Neal Boortz was on the story as well as other hosts.

We will not let this stand. John Effin Kerry is attempting to use 9-11 for his political benefit. John Effin Kerry, no effin way.

Please post on this thread links to previous threads. Keep it moving, FReepers.

Note to Admin Moderator -- I don't abuse the Breaking News column. I think that Hannity being on this story qualifies it as breaking news, and it deserves to be included there.

BUMP!!!!

Great but will it be breaking news on Dan Blather, CNN and the Canadian guy's news?

[sam_paine]

That Canadian guy still has a job?

I heard on Tony Snow this morning that a new poll shows that Americans rank National Security the #1 issue. If this is true (and I heard this correctly), then this is backfiring hard on the Dems. The whole country is talking about 9-11. Democrats, are you sure this is what you want? Really?

This election is shaping up as 2002 all over again.

Bump.:-)

*bump* Roger Hedgecock hit it hard while filling in for Limbaugh, as well. The links are there.

A big part of the story though, is that the media didn't report the connection in the first place. Therefore, I predict they will not cover this. One thing the media does NOT do is mea culpa.

It was reported earlier this morning before it became breaking news.

WOuldn't that be beautiful. We really need to extend our majority in the Senate. 60 is out of the question but the current margin is just too slim.

Well, here is a thread in which I decided to poke around and see what I could find out about the "outraged" relatives:

Good news. A WASHINGTON POST reporter with whom I just spoke wants to know about Kerry using the Vietnam Memorial as a backdrop for a 1984 campaign commercial. He says he is interested in that story. Please help me with the links for that. He is waiting for my email.

"We are going to find that the RATS contacted family members who are anti-war, anti-Bush and who lost relatives on 9-11. We will find they were given the phone numbers of newsrooms. We will find they were given talking points."

That's all well and good, but how about the direct linkage to Teresa Kerry/John Kerry via Peaceful Tomorrows/The Tides Foundation??? The other is small beans compared to this aspect.

NOOOOOOOOO!! Tell me it isn't so!! Why, why,... I am shocked and amazed. Actually I'm shocked, amazed and disappointed. No, no I'm shocked, amazed, dismayed and deeply saddened.

[Lucky2]

Bump. I knew that there was something fishy in Rat land.

[doug from upland]

I called it breaking because of Hannity. His show doing it will get the notice it needs.

I am glad Hannity, and people like you, are on this. The whole story is just nauseating. Who is trampling on the bodies of the dead for political gain? The answer is obvious.

I was near, but not in, NYC the day of the attacks. I saw the huge cloud of smoke that was the WTC. I saw the damaged Pentagon that month too. I have the utmost sympathy for the families. But it is absolutely ghoulish for these leftists to use one's own dead relatives to shill for a politician.

Rush and Sean have done a great job of comparing the comments of the various 9/11 widows, etc. The similarity of their phrases (and the same illogic of them) shows that this is almost certainly a Democratic or leftist plant. And can ANYONE explain to me why Bush's being "in a classroom reading to children" when the attack occurred is such a damnable act? Are these the same people who said "Bush knew" and "Bush should have connected the dots?" And when he did - in Iraq - and took care of a tyrant who was destabilizing the region (a pretty big dot, if you ask me), didn't these same people object and protest Bush's "warmongering?" What would the left have done if he had attacked Afghanistan on 9/10/01 and found . . . boxcutters and airplane schedules? They would have freaked out!

My problem is that I look for logic where there is none, other than hatred of Bush, in their positions.

But this episode was particularly disgusting and pathetic.

Doug... I'm speechless!!!

FANTASTIC work!

Having lost the primary in humiliation - his brother had been caught trying to wiretap an opponent's office - Kerry went to Boston College Law School. Later, he was appointed assistant district attorney, then was elected lieutenant governor under Mike Dukakis in 1982. Two years later, he ran for the U.S. Senate - dusting off his veteran's credentials by standing in front of the black Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington to shoot a TV campaign ad, defying regulations that the memorial not be used for political purposes. The ad "was filmed illegally against the wishes of the National Park Service," according to the Boston Globe. Kerry authorized its broadcast anyway.
