"...Kerry's latest statement has a familiar ring: "I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I did not have assassination relations with that group, the VVAW," he said. Mr Kerry's face was red and his voice was shaking as he spoke to the assembled media at the Idaho Ski Lodge. With a raised clenched fist, Mr Kerry went on: "I never told anyone to lie, not a single time, never. These allegations are false and I need to go back to campaigning for the American people."..."

Y'know, we are definately gettin' too old for this $hit, spycatcher.

Stay well, old friend.............Barry/gonzo

John Gibson and Joe Scarborough had segments and interviews about it on their shows yesterday and Brit Hume mentioned it in recap as well.

Kerry has not explained why the FBI was wrong to spy on meetings where political assassinations were being discussed. If that isn't "legitimate probable cause," what is?

Indeed, the point many of us have made.

The senator likes to bluster about President Bush's supposed failures on homeland security, and perhaps he is worth heeding on that score. After all he, not our hopelessly provincial president, has real-world experience with groups threatening violent action. He should make the most of it. Perhaps a line can be worked into his stump speeches, right after the line about aircraft carriers: "I know something about assassination plots, too."

Sad laugh.

Drudge linked to one of the stories the other day.

Yes, I think it was the sympathetic LA Times piece that focused on the FBI tailing the group, BUT a thinking person would wonder why, and if they've subsequently heard about the assassination plot, would agree they deserved the tailing.

Don Imus talking about it. Asking Harold Ford Jr.

Ford Jr. says he was one year old and it was 34 years ago.

Imus asks him if he's heard about the French Revolution and what kind of answer was that.

Ford then says he takes Kerry at his word that he would never seriously discuss assassinating Senators. He says the way he heard it some guy came in and said it and was dismissed.

(Fact: It came to a VOTE.)

Imus says he's talking about it because the campaign brought it up, now segues into the 87 billion vote for then against and Ford agrees it was unfortunate phrasing.

Anyway, Imus spoke to Ford about the story and did a pretty good job setting up the scene.

BINGO AND BUMP!

Drudge's choice of headlines in the last couple of weeks calls into question his editorial sanity.

Has anyone else noticed how suddenly it's no longer fair to question what someone did back in the Vietnam war days? Dems talking about the assassination of gov't officials sound like their talking about a jaywalking. It's hilarious to hear them half falling asleep. Of course, they see assault on the Constitution as just part of doing business.

If Robert Byrd was lying about a KKK meeting that discussed killing blacks they would also be yawning.

"I...forGOT...assassination was against the law."

[avant_garde]

Drudge has been a little subdued after the Kerry Bimbo Alert. Probably got a visit from Kerry's Knucke dragging PR men offering him a nice 2x6 room where the temperature is constant and has no windows with one door with 6 handles.

[spycatcher]

Yep, you're exactly right. Drudge is petrified of this story since the Kerry intern story went nowhere. He knows the big media and the Kerry spinsters are going to blame him if he links it.

Strange to see Drudge bowing to Kerry's thugs though.

OK .. let me see if I have this right ..

Having an FBI file on you regarding an assassination plot against U.S. Senator is a a badge of honor???





Don't look to me to find fault with your thinking. :)
