Credibility, once lost, is difficult to re-establish. Ask Bill Clinton.
Once you're a pickle, you can't go back to being a cucumber.
Does anybody think Bill Clinton could have gotten elected if the internet was as powerful a force in 1992 as it is today ?
He seems more upset that Kerry allowed himself to be exposed than he he is about the lies and deceit.
The internet is a real monkey wrench in the political machinations of the media. The don't have a way to plug up the leaks on the net other than with their defamation techniques.
Remembering Kerry and Edwards on the covers of the major "news" magazines, the same ones that put Moore's oily countenance on the front and made honest folk taste bile, I decided that I might try something.
I am going to make a bunch of small paper signs that I am going to start putting everywhere, bookstores, grocery stores, newsstands, Walmart, you name it. Even in the mags like the blown in subscription cards.
They will simply say "Why is the media afraid to report about the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth?" or "Why won't John Kerry fact the Swiftboat veterans?" "Why is John Kerry so afaid of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth?" "Find out why John Kerry is "unfit for command"" etc. etc.
All will have (www.swiftvets.com) on them. Eventually, it has to make some people wake up, and if I can open just a few people's eyes to the truth, and more importantly, the way that the media is lying to them through the deliberate omission of this story, I will have done my part.
We have to be proactive. The media is.
Why don't those sites and blogs have the same power that the Conservative sites and blogs have?
Is it because they repeat what the alphabet networks put out or because their lies are so apparent???
BUMP!

Another leak in the dam.
Say it ain't so..not after reading this column. Not after watching the recent head explosions of Chris Mathews, James Carville, and Susan Estrich.
Not after noticing there are no elected Democrats rushing to defend John Kerry.
The mainstream liberal media is one huge, incestuous conglomorate. We can't destroy them, but we can enjoy the hell outta them offing themselves.
