Bush’s Sleeper Cells

Aug. 27 - Karl Rove makes Chuck Colson look like a girly man. Colson didn’t have the audacity to go after John Kerry’s military record when President Nixon was looking for dirt on antiwar leaders. After researching Kerry’s medals, Colson, who now heads a prison ministry program, backed off. “Maybe Chuck knew he was going to find Jesus back then because he had a degree of shame,” says a senior staffer to a Senate Republican.

The Kerry campaign thinks it has succeeded in discrediting the scurrilous attack on Kerry’s military service, but Rove got what he wanted. Instead of talking about a failed war in Iraq and a new report that shows 1.3 million more Americans living in poverty, we’re debating what happened in the Mekong Delta in 1968. The strategy “came straight from the West Wing,” says the GOP staffer. “Nobody should be confused.” Asked to explain, this Republican says Rove is smart enough to keep technical distance. But all it takes is a well-placed wink to activate a web of Bush family hit men, confidantes and deep-pocket donors. “They know what to do—it’s like sleeper cells that get activated,” he says, likening the players to “political terrorists.”

Spanos a top donor to group targeting Kerry (Bush backers fighting back!)*** One of the commercials opens with the smoky ruins of the Twin Towers and moves to several pictures of Bush with New York firefighters and other rescue workers. A narrator praises Bush's leadership and asks: "But what if Bush wasn't there? Could John Kerry have shown this leadership?" Then the ad ticks off votes by Kerry that it portrays as being against intelligence and Defense Department budgets.***

discrediting the scurrilous attack on Kerry’s military service

About time we went to school on what the libs have been doing to us for years. Funny how now, when they get a taste of their own medicine, they squeal like little babies whose candy was stolen.

>>> she is giving Rove too much credit

I don't think she is. This is the guy who placed a bug in his own office and accused it on his client's opponent! I am glad he is on our side and not theirs. He has done a good job of keeping his role quiet, thankfully.

[gathersnomoss]

Really? Where can I see this?
