Memogate: Burkett's attorney/spokesman hosted Kerry rallies in Texas

FR Thread

[PigRigger]

Jumping to the end if I may - it is clear, at least to me, that they (DNC/Kerry) were setting the table to insinuate that Bush skipped his physical because of a drug problem.

Kitty Kelly's book release, and some articles tying Bush to another Guardsman (an article was posted here at FR sometime back) who had a drug problem, was to be their defining moment.

The Kerry campaign is falling like a rock; they are/were looking to slime the Presidents character to undermine the publics trust in him. It is the only chance they have at winning the election.

You know what they say about the best laid plans....

I don't believe it was Burkett - too hamfisted as far as the military info in the forgeries. My money is on Barnes.

[jmstein7]

I agree.

[wildbill]

I think the chain from Burkett to Kerry Campaign to CBS is dead on.

That's why Rather is in such a dither and won't reveal the source. If it was Burkett, he'd dump the chump in a heartbeat.

I bet they are trying to get Burkett to take the fall as the source that GAVE them the docs. But he's got an attorney who's telling him he's in enough trouble already without adding another federal charge (interstate trafficing or somesuch) to the list.

Another Tenn/Texas connection, but I can't seem to locate it. Maybe a Freeper can locate it and either link or cut and paste it.

On Nightly News/Nightline (whatever it was) September 10 (before the story really broke on Friday), Killian's widow was on with Koppel talking about the memos. Interestingly, Chris Lehane also showed up at that late hour and claimed it was the first time he had seen the memos. We know now that is impossible - the DNC ad was in the can at the earliest July 20. Why would he show up to talk about memos he had never seen unless it was to deflect the direction of blame?

The physical that the dummies are harping on is one where it is given to MAINTAIN FLIGHT STATUS as a pilot. The base where Bush was going to DID NOT HAVE F102's, the aircraft that G W was train for....no plane, no need for the physical. It's the only thing that the dummies have to get their knickers twisted over. It has been hashed over for the past 12 years...and nothing,NOTHING, has ever been found to be out of the normal...THUS WE HAVE FORGERIES!!!

Dear Protect,

I haven't looked closely at the entire thread, so maybe someone else has noted this. Mr. Burkett is a Democrat Party operative.

See this URL: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/046126.php

Note especially:

"Shadowy Link Uncovered: Apparently the noted former-Bush-supporter Burkett served as head of the Steering Committee for David Van Os campaign for Texas Party Chair [of the Democrat Party]."

Here is a URL from 2002 in which Mr. Burkett describes some of his activities in the Texas Democrat Party:

Bill Burkett is a Democrat operative who likely forged documents to libel a sitting president.

You need Missy Kelley to connect the dots. The best I've ever seen.

[HenryLeeII]

I've got a memo from Kerry to Rather, asking for some help, and suggesting that CBS come up with a story to deflect from the Swift Boat issue. I'll publicize it as soon as the ink is dry!

Dear Protect,

According to Neal Boortz this morning, Burkett's lawyer, a democrat activist lawyer, went to Florida after the 2000 election as a member of Gore's legal team.

David Van Os addresses John Kerry for President rally, Austin, TX August 21, 2004

Howard Dean was the other keynote speaker.

[finnman69]

Wow, here is the Kerry link!

OK I am convinced that Van Os is clearly a DNC player and his simultaneous representation of Burkett and work for the DNC is highly suspect.

I think its time to swing the searchlight of the blogosphere on to Van Os. At the elast, Texans need to knwo more about this scumbag who is campaigning to be appointed to the Texas Supreme Court.
