YES!! Limbaugh discussing Kerry and the plot in Kansas City

Yes!! Limbaugh finally discussing the plot in Kansas City in 1971 to assassinate U.S. senators. Kerry has been lying. The door has now been opened. It is about time this has been on Rush's show.

"Does anyone know who these seven senators are?"

Three of them were Strom Thurmond, John Tower, and John Stennis. I have never seen the others listed but Goldwater was serving at the time and I don't imagine he was too popular with the Kerry gang.

"I'd rather kill a hell of a lot of North Vietnamese than one American " Barry Goldwater

[Uncle Miltie]

"Kerry should come clean about his involvement in the assassination plot."

The seriousness of the allegation warrants a full investigation.

[John Thornton]

"I'd rather kill a hell of a lot of North Vietnamese than one American " Barry Goldwater

"We'd rather kill seven United States Senators than one Viet Cong."

John Kerry's VVAW.

[Uncle Miltie]

Do we get to ask: "When did you stop being a terrorist, Mr. Kerry?"

Ho Chi Minh, a decorated Viet Nam War hero shares traditional values:

*He'll provide education for all, even the stupid people in the south.
*He'll provide universal healthcare for all.
*He'll tax the rich until they bleed to death.
*He'll redistribute wealth via government agencies.
*He'll engage in "global dialogue."
*He'll end all US imperalist aggression.

But Ho Chi Minh is more than a politician, he's a man of The People.

*He's the most PROGRESSIVE member of government.
*He lived in France for years and that's really cool.
*His wife supports The Cause worldwide.
*Did we mention that he was a decorated war hero from Viet Nam?


Vote Ho Chi Minh as President.

Ho Chi Minh--Power To The People. Right On!

The key concept here is NOT that Kerry was in a meeting where this was debated, NOT that he voted on it, NOT that he lied about it during this campaign season.

The key concept is that he know about an assassination plot against several U. S. senators, and he FAILED to report it to authorities.

THAT is what needs to be pounded home again and again. He FAILED to report it.

"I hope you're correct."

So do I. If anything I tend to see things in terms of 'gaming' and strategy which is why I don't really think old news is going to sway anyone. With a nearly 50/50 electorate all swing votes become important & to take the chance on losing some of those by muck-raking is a losing strategy. Dwell on the positive, not the negative is how I think swing voters can be attracted. What are the candidates views and plans for the future - we can't really change the past (at least not yet).

No, again the number came from DuBose, and he listed Helms as one of them--which isn't possible, since Helms wasn't a Senator yet.

According to the info in the following link, three senators were mentioned by Camil--John Stennis, John Tower and Strom Thurmond (not Jesse Helms). Thurmond was first elected to the Senate in 1932. (I tend to get Thurmond & Helms confused w/ one another myself & I suspect that such has been the case in this instance.)

"I am trying to figure out exactly what conservative principle familyofman believes in. He seems to be pro-gay marriage, anti-Bush, and anti-religion."

Don't hold your breath waiting to find one! She's a lib. (Don't fall for her "fiscal conservative", i.e., balanced budget nonsense - just about every leftist candidate out there sings the praises of a balanced budget as well; and hey, if that means a 90% tax rate, so be it!)

This (im)poster is your typical lib - and too much of a fem-fem to admit it!

[BunnySlippers]

I have to agree with you to the extent that they are certainly not going to arrest or reprimand Kerry over not reporting this as a crime. I also think Republicans ought to toss this out there but not make a huge issue of it. It's only value is in swing voters seeing Kerry as someone who had connections to a group that (at the very least) would think to bring this up.

[John Thornton]

When it comes to confronting terrorists today, Kerry is like the Boomer parent who used drugs in his youth and now feels it would be hypocritical to discipline his kids for using drugs.

[Katya]

Particularly if he voted AGAINST this plot. At the moment the spin had been he resigned before the meeting.
If he didn't resign until the meeting took place, it means he found the threat legitimate and therefore resigned verbally.
A threat that made him question his allegiance to this organization and quit, is a threat he should have reported.

[John Thornton]

THAT is what needs to be pounded home again and again. He FAILED to report it.

This is the piece of the puzzle we don't know. He may very well have reported it. He may have been the mole in the organization. He may have even worn a wire during the meetings.

Of course, he needs to say on the record whether or not he did report it.

[kinsman redeemer]

So, his contemporary involvement in a group that seriously discussed an assasination plot is a fact that is too ancient to consider. That's your position?

Hmmmm.

[kinsman redeemer]

Exactly!

Also SBG.

[Iron Matron]

I think it's up to those that say he did not earn/deserve them to show, beyond a reasonable doubt, why


Sure thing. Like democrats proving GWB was awol? What about all the 9-11 accusations? (what did bush know...)etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!

Give me a break. Democrats need to start living by THEIR RULES. The public is wiser than the every day socialists thinks.

[Dante3]

I agree.
