CBS has now laid down the gauntlet and accused President Bush of a series of serious "flip-flops." Is this revenge for Rathergate?

David Kuhn, chief political writer at cbsnews.com discusses the following ten "flip-flops" of policy and action in his article Bush's Top Ten Flip-Flops:

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Nation-building in Iraq
Iraq and the September 11th Attacks
The September 11th Commission
Free Trade
Homeland Security Department
Same Sex Marriage
Winning the War on Terror
Campaign Finance Reform
Gas Prices

Very interesting that today John Kerry released a new attack ad with the same theme............

I am sure there is no connection.

I just read a great response from the spokesman of the DOD -
He says many crticize the president for not "connecting the dots" on 911 - yet the criticize him for going into Iraq based upon the intelligence we got from Russia, Britian, Egypt and many others.

Can you imagine the outrage if he didn't do anything? Hypocrites....

Exactly.

CBS should be ashamed. If anything gives succour to our enemies, it's unfounded accusations like these. Typical lib-dem-socialist idiocy.

remember that VIACOM is probably part of your mutual fund loads for your 401ks, and that your interests are being ill-served by their disinterest in keeping the stock high and profitable for YOU.

You can send an e-mail to viacom and don't forget your local affiliate with the threat that you are considering a letter to be placed in their folder for licensing.

Fascinating. On the same day it becomes evident that the new Kerry campaign strategy is to throw the "flip-flop" charge back at the President, CBS joins in the chorus. Coincidence? Sure - if you believe that, you probably think that all Air National Guard bases in 1971 had $5000.00 typewriters as standard issue.

CBS: the media wing of the Democrat party.

Notice the Dogpile ad at the top of the page--not exactly subliminal is it?

makes you think *almost* that CBS could be an advanced arm of our organization -- anything they say now is completely discredited, from 60 Minutes on down, so...

but, no, i think they're just incompetent and corrput.

The media are in full Dem talking points mode. The Seattle P.I. today had TWO Bush flip-flop stories, front page and inside front page. Of course, the P.I. is pretty much preaching to the choir anyway.

Weapons of Mass Destruction Announcing the invasion of Iraq on March 19, 2003, Mr. Bush said, “Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.”

This is a factual statement. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

Two months into the war, on May 29, 2003, Mr. Bush said weapons of mass destruction had been found.

“We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories,” Mr. Bush told Polish television. “For those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them."

This is also a factual statement. Mnufacturing devices, dual use factories and agents themselves have been found in Iraq.

On Sept. 9, 2004, in Pennsylvania, Mr. Bush said: “I recognize we didn't find the stockpiles [of weapons] we all thought were there.”

This is also a factual statement.

CBS stands for Collosal Bull Sh5t.

Yeah -- when you look at the list, all the material on this list is pretty straight-forward to repute or at least can be muddied enough with "plausible deniability" that voters won't pay any attention to it.

Bush can clean this mess up easily...the debate should allow him to shift the focus away from these petty issues and back onto Kerry's voting record, personality, etc.

So, when is the FEC going to charge CBS with violating the campaign finance laws?

This is getting serious folks. I'm for getting their broadcast license pulled. Put it up for auction.

What they do not get is that no amount of desperate spin can hide the clear daily flip flops of the Kerry camp.

But hey, if CBS News wants to dig themselves even deeper into a hole, let them keep up this clear coordination of their "News" with the DNC Propaganda machine.

Tomorrow night, Kerry will use this to validate his flip flops.
