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

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

[doug from upland]

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.

The only way the dems can win is to lie, cheat and steal. Based on the two major issues - Economy and national security - Bush has the winning hand:
- Economy - Bush wins. Better or same inflation/unemployment/growth numbers than 1996.
- National Security: Bush wins. No explanation needed.

Interestingly enough, if you think about it, this speech is from right after the RATS got their asses handed to them in the 2002 election.

LOL! Very good. ;o)

This photo is absolutely disgusting and shows what Kerry really thinks about the men and women whose names are engraved on the Wall behind him. He used the powerful memorial of the Wall to further his personal ambitions. What an outrage!

Yeah, but monday-tuesday news cycle corrections don't really make up for Sunday talkshows that were obsessed with the phony story. I knew the truth. They're in the media/facts-finding business. Why didn't they? Or did they? Does the scandal go deeper right into American's newsrooms?

[demlosers]

Kerry beats Bush 52 to 44%, and that the majority of the American people think that Bush's use of 9/11 images in campaign ads is inappropriate.

This poll is out of step with Rasmussen, Fox, and Zogby polls that show Bush & Kerry even or Bush ahead.

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.

It should be and I really hope it is. Everytime I hear poll numbers, they say it ranks like 3rd or something. I've heard Dick Morris and not sure who else. I wonder what polls are being used? They are probably polling only democrats....... If that's the case, I could see it being way down in the polls to rats.

I just remembered something. Dom G said he would be talking to some of these people from PT today. I am really looking forward to hearing his show tonight.

[Fixit]

I'm pretty sure the logo on the podium says "Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund".

I'm 95% on the first three words and 80% on the last word.

[doug from upland]

Just spoke to Doug at the Arizona Republic. He is about to get some info from me. He did not know that Kerry has used the Vietnam Memorial in his 1984 Senate campaign ad. This is really getting fun.

[Prince Charles]

Bttt.

I just don't know if they knew of the Tides connection. If not, they should have before they blew this story all out of proportion.

I agree with you on that part, and I don't fault the media for not looking back to the finances. An honest media would know or ask whether there was a political component to a person's expression, and should have known the 9/11 widows and the Fire Union rep were politically active, politically against many Bush policies, and politically against GWB ... i.e., they are politically aligned with the DNC and actively advocate that.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if this story gets substantial play by the mass media. It darn well ought to, for the good of the Republic.

This was an orchestrated political attack, with no basis of truth. The media was complicit, the rats could not have done it with out them.!!!

[JFC]

BRING IT ON!!!!

Bush in a landslide... Nov 2004!

[alwaysconservative]

How about the fact that the Kerry commercials from LAST FALL talked about VietNam AND used 9-11 himself when he said he "warned about the threat of terrorism" (implying that if he was President 9-11 wouldn't have happened)?

It is positively insulting that they think we are so dumb as to not notice this stuff.

[Dante3]

I would like to the the names of the "outraged family members" listed along with how much cash they collected because a relative died on 9/11. Or are they disgruntled because they did not collect any and/or enough?

[SquirrelKing]

Good post, doug. Thanks.

[Maigrey]

Mucho Gusto BTTT!

"I am so disheartened. They always have us playing catch up and no matter what we do, how much we expose their dirty tactics, they win support. I am very afraid."

You should be afraid. The Left dominates the media, pure and simple. The media, which regularly carry the water for the Left, will do the Left's bidding over and over again. There is absolutely no such thing as objective journalism from the mainstream media: It is all agenda-driven, and it all supports the Left. It's good you are getting afraid. Because if you get afraid enough, you will get mad, and when you get mad enough, you will do something about it.

Does the scandal go deeper right into American's newsrooms?

I haven't seen rock-solid proof of it yet, but by a preponderance of the evidence? The scandle indeed goes right into the newsrooms. ANd before somebody says that's nuts because there are too many newsroom, I say bunk. Only AP and Reuters feeds news for all the rest of them. Look at how uniform the headlines are, on most newspapers in the country. The media doesn't investigate, it READS.
