ZACK ATTACK!
Kerry Hires Negative Campaigner-In-Chief
___________________________________________________

Kerry Hires MoveOn.org’s Zack Exley

MoveOn.org’s Zack Exley Joining Kerry Campaign As Director Of Online Communications And Organizing.   (Sharon Theimer, “MoveOn Staffer Moves On To Kerry Campaign,” The Associated Press, 4/7/04)            

Exley’s Lowest Moments

In 2000, Exley Created GWBush.com, Which Featured Doctored Photo Of President Bush.  (Byron York, “HateBush.org: The Rise Of A Website, A Political Action Committee … A Movement?” National Review, 7/28/03)

This Year, Exley’s Group, MoveOn.org Voter Fund, Posted Web Ad Comparing President Bush To Adolf Hitler.   “One ad begins with Adolf Hitler making speeches, until a picture of President Bush appears.  Another also uses Nazi and Bush images, with the tag line: ‘What were war crimes in 1945 is foreign policy in 2003.’  The videos appeared on the Web site of MoveOn.org’s Voter Fund as part of a nationwide contest for an anti-Bush television ad on which the liberal group plans to spend a considerable sum.”  (Howard Kurtz, “Anti-Bush Ad Contest Includes Hitler Images,” The Washington Post, 1/6/04)

Exley’s Response To Hitler Ad Controversy: “Typical Republican Bulls--t.”  (Michael Hastings, “Getting Out The Stars,” Newsweek, 1/13/04)

Who Do They Think They’re Kidding?

Pariser Said Exley Would Not “Communicate With Anyone At MoveOn Until After The November Election.”  Really?  “To guard against any risk or appearance of improper coordination between MoveOn and the Kerry campaign, steps are being taken to make sure Exley doesn’t communicate with anyone at MoveOn until after the November election, Pariser said.”  (Sharon Theimer, “MoveOn Staffer Moves On To Kerry Campaign,” The Associated Press, 4/7/04)

Will Exley Forget What He Learned At
MoveOn.org To Avoid Coordination?

MoveOn.org’s Eli Pariser Said Exley Is Bringing “What He’s Got In His Head About How We Do Online Organization” To Kerry Campaign.  (Sharon Theimer, “MoveOn Staffer Moves On To Kerry Campaign,” The Associated Press, 4/7/04)

The Presdential television debates are on the horizon, and we must be diligent in making sure CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNNBC,etc. do not give Kerry a bigger part of the t.v. screen, than Bush. I remember something about them doing that in the past...shortchanging the Republican candidate out of equal t.v. screen coverage during a debate.

Ahhhhh - Soros' communist cabin boy. The true nature of the Democrat party is at last revealed; and having pulled the tablecloth off that one, they may be tempted to pull the wool back over it later...

Zack Exley - Ex Zackley.

"CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNNBC,etc. do not give Kerry a bigger part of the t.v. screen, than Bush"

That applies to FOX also.
Remember the "free" air time they gave hitlery for her run for the NY Senate seat.
She had more air time on FOX than any other Senate race.
"Fair and Balanced?"
When was the last time ran a story on the good deeds by the military in Iraq or Afghanistan?

You are darn tootin!! We'll be watching with our measuring sticks and timers!! And I also remember Dave Letterman having Hitlery on his show,during her Senate bid, which is his perogative, BUT, he gave her a "heads-up" on all questions, and jokes that were coming! We can't have any more of these kind 0f shenanigans!

It's not surprising that the Kerry campaign would scrape off the soles of their shoes to find organizational operatives......it's a chapter right out of The Liberal Playbook.

I turn off Fox...it's got so damn many liberals on it, it's UN-WATCHABLE.

I'm glad that Kerrey is surrounding hiself with these evil-doers....people WILL notice and they won't like it. Most people don't dislike Bush.

This is a lateral movement. I say that an investigation needs to be done NOW to examine any possibly illegal connections between the Kerry campaign and MoveOn.org in violation of campaign finance and election laws.

Frenchface Kerry, needs assistance with negative campaigning? There's a position more negative than the bottom of the enemies outhouse hole from which Frenchie launched his smear campaign against America and President Bush? The atmospheric pressure down there must be almost unbearable.

No doubt that Kerry's compined negatives will eventually turn into one gigantic positive. Voters will positively reject Frenchface and his negativity.

With that long horse face, they HAVE to give Kerry more TV screen space!

I wonder if this is the ahole that made the new MoveOn.org commercial with a picture of Bush with some guy sounding like Bush saying he failed us and Richard Clarke was right about me. Anyone else see this yet. I seen it on CNN in front of Cross Fire I think. This is the lowest commercial I have ever seen. I know at the bottom of the add it says it is not really Bush saying it but it way to sleazy for me.

I did see the MoveOn.org commercial with the Bush voice impersonator on CNN.

Vile and nonsensical - like the "Sound familiar?" Hitler piece.

The Left feels compelled to "interpret" REALITY for us. I believe Stalin and the commies provided the same service in the USSR.

Of course, the Left will whine, "It's just satire."

Hmmmm....seems to me this may only be a correction in the way they had set things up.....seems MoveOn.org had "misappropriated" one of Kerry's boys....yeah, that'll fly.....isn't there some kind of investigation going on right now about violations of the CFR rules....against certain organizations, i.e. MoveOn????

IIRC, the RNC and Bush/Cheney '04 filed a complaint with the FEC about MoveOn and Kerry's campaign breaking the new CFR rules.

I think they want the FEC to dismiss the charges so they can take them to court and get immediate action.

I really don't think you have anything to worry about. First, Kerry might not be the Democrat candidate. Secondly, if the Democrats can't find someone willing to replace him (someone sane), they would never take a chance on allowing him to participate in a live debate. He's a loose cannon that more often than not fires at himself.

Hiring hatefilled vile operatives only serves to show the voters that ketchup boy is not fit to be president, or senator, for that matter.

Perhaps the unintended consequence will be the end of kennedy and ketchupboy's senate careers.

This only proves the DNC isn't serious about a bid for the WH this time. They're just stirring things up and playing a very sick game with the opposing team. But their disgusting game play is getting Americans killed and is pulling America down in the eyes of the world.

Just FYI: John Kerry's blog is now deleting comments: http://lonewacko.com/blog/archives/001221.html#001221

Perhaps we need a human wave of commentators to go to blog.johnkerry.com and post *polite* comments pointing out flaws in JFK's policy.
