'The last thing I wanted to do was to distract, which is exactly what the Kerry smear machine is trying to do,' Ben Ginsburg says on CNN Wolf Britzer reports.

MORE GINSBERG: 'We did not coordinate with this group and this group did not coordinate with the campaign, and I was at the nexus and made sure that did not happen.'

Ginsburg speaks to ABC News Nightline tonight at 11:30ET

Your kind of right. O'Reilly spin cycle gets stuck in the wash mode once in a while. Then goes to the very dry cycle for a very long boring time. He has a tendency to crusade to much. In my opinion, he's hitting on 60% correct, and 40% over the top. I don't know what his no spin win loss ratio is, do you?

How did Ginsberg do on Nightline?

He was AWESOME on Nightline. The guy hosting tried to interrupt him several times when he was making his points. Ginsburg just rolled right over him and spoke forcefully! He made the point that the media is CLEARLY using a double standard when dealing with the 527s. He said that the Democrat 527s have spent over 66 million in the last few months, and Bush has not tried to stop their ads, but this little half-million dollar buy has brought the wrath of the Kerry folks AND the media down on the Swift Boat Vets!

He also made the point that though many of the Democrat 527s have leading Kerry supporters as attorneys who also work for Kerry, the media has not said that THEY should resign.

He reminded the host that attorney client privilege AND campaign laws had prevented him from sharing information between the Bush Campaign and the Swift Boat Vets. Since he's resigned the Bush campaign, he said, he will now help the Swift Boat Vets in whatever they can legally do to help defeat Kerry.

The guy's a mensch!

Y'know, about 8 or so years ago I was at the point where I thought I never could hate the dems more than I did. Boy, was I wrong...they make my blood boil more now than ever.

And don't even get me STARTED on the media...

Michael Whouley was the mastermind behind the Gore Florida recount plan. He's THE top 'rat operative.

I saw Ben Ginsberg on Nightline Wednesday night and he really took the Kerry campaign and the news media to the woodshed. I nearly jumped for joy and it was a sight to behold. He told Chris Bury (nightline) that there was a different standard in the media for Republicans and asked where the media was since the Democrat 527's had been running attack ads against Bush SINCE MARCH! He challenged the interviewer that the questions he was being asked proved his point and why hadn't the media ask the Democrats the same questions because they were doing the same thing (which he said was legal).

Ginsberg said the Swift vets were honest, decent, decorated veterans of Vietnam and they came to him for advice on the complicated new campaign finance law because they had something to say regarding Kerry's "hero" militry service. They said they wanted to exercise their first amendment rights.

Ginsbery said "this is the saddess day of my life because it had been one of greatest honors of his career to work with this President and the wonderful people around him."

If missed it, you missed a real thrill. It's time somebody stood up to the media and the Kerry thugs.

The Clinton doctrine is to accuse your opponent of exactly what it is your camp is up to, to immunize your operation from scrutiny

EXACTLY RIGHT!!

Finally someone sees this!
