XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SUN OCT 03, 2004 14:05:38 ET XXXXX
DEBATE MYSTERY: DID KERRY HAVE CHEAT SHEET?
Section 5, pages 4-5 of the binding "Memorandum of Understanding" that was negotiated and agreed upon by both political campaigns states:
"No props, notes, charts, diagrams, or other writings or other tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate.... Each candidate must submit to the staff of the Commission prior to the debate all such paper and any pens or pencils with which a candidate may wish to take notes during the debate, and the staff or commission will place such paper, pens and pencils on the podium..."
So what did Dem presidential contender John Kerry take out of his jacket as he approached the stage [with his back to the auditorium's audience]?
What did Kerry place on the podium?
Video replays of the Kerry maneuver played all weekend long on the internet.
[A tight zoom of the Boston.Com feed shows Kerry pulling a mysterious "card" from his jacket. 14 seconds into video, after commerical]
A top Kerry campaign source explained to the DRUDGE REPORT late Sunday how Bush supporters were once again trying to distract.
"Kerry did not cheat," said the Kerry insider. "This is more lies from Republicans, who are hoping for a quick change of subject away from the president's performance, and the new polls."

Cheaters cheat.
This cheater is grinning all over that extremely long face as he cheats.
Then again...
It depends upon what your definition of "cheating" is.

That explains why he was "taking notes" like a madman. That way, if anybody called him on it, he could always say, "oh THIS piece of paper? Yeah, I wrote all those neatly organized facts DURING the debate..."

It is not our job to expose Kerry during the debate - it was Bush's.Bush could not have seen what was on the cards that Kerry pulled out, if that's what they were. If he raised a ruckus, and the cards turned out to be blank (i.e. a trap), Bush would look like a complete fool and the media would crucify him. It wasn't worth the risk.

The MSM is at it again in their protection for one of their own. They just don't get it. These guys have lived in a glass house for so long they don't know right from wrong. Rather, Jennings and Brokaw are so damn out of touch with fair and unbiased reporting that MSM needs to be restrained. I would suggest that if we relaxed the laws regarding defamation against subjects by reporters we could fix a lot of this radical attitude by the out-of-date MSM. It is time for broadcast news to be gone and I say good riddence to their biased bullshit. This is clearly my opinion but John (French Suck-up) is nothing more than a commie dirt bag that turned on all of us defending our country during the 70's. For all the spittle that I wiped off my uniform in Seattle I would love to put on Kerry and his idiot supporters and that includes the MSM. Did Kerry cheat probably yes. However it don't matter to me as the low life scum bag doesn't deserve to be a presidential candidate in a third world Central American country

No, neither Lehrer nor anyone else in production of the 1st Debate had anything to do with the lecterns after the debate. Flunkies for each candidate tidied up his lectern. Either the enhanced video tells the story, or the story will never be told.

It is nice that you held back on how you feel about Kerry....LOL You might like my tagline.
Good for you.
Is John Kerry a War Criminal and a Traitor?
Consider the following.
After the Tet Offensive of 1968, the Viet Cong were decimated, the North Vietnam Communists were beaten, but with the Socialist leaning press in America and the VVAWs antiwar protests the North Vietnamese Communists decided to hold on. John Kerry did not join VVAW until after his return from Vietnam in early 1969, and until then VVAW didnt have very many members (8,500) and were not very successful at getting heard.
The FBI reports that VVAW was nearly inactive until the Moratoriums in the fall of 1969. See pg 90 So, the press and the antiwar movement in America prevented the North Vietnamese Communists from surrendering.
This meant that instead of a US victory in South Vietnam and freedom for the South Vietnamese we had about 10,000 more US deaths from the time John Kerry came on board with the VVAW until the end of the war. Americas POW's were being tortured while listening to tapes of John "Traitor" Kerry calling them baby killers. Americas brave soldiers were dieing in the jungles of Vietnam and John Kerry
The VVAW, an antiwar group, founded in the spring of 1967, which Kerry was one of the national leaders of, was receiving directions from the North Vietnamese Communist Government.
VVAW in contact with in contact with NV Communist Government
The directions were on how the VVAW should protest the Vietnam War.
The interaction became so depraved, that the North Vietnamese Communist contacted the VVAW via a phone call and advised the VVAW that they were getting ready to start an attack on US troops and that the VVAW was to be prepared to increase the protests against the increase in bombing that the NV Communists were sure would happen. This put our men in further danger because of John Kerry and VVAW actions.
VVAW gets directions from the North Vietnamese Communists
Al Hubbard, a leader of the VVAW briefed the NV, Soviets and other communist countries concerning Electronic Battlefield Vietnam as to tactics, methods and equipment which put US troops at extreme risk.
Link to EBV
John Kerry had no concern for the lives of his fellow soldiers in Vietnam or the POW's, John Kerry only cared about himself and his ambition to become POTUS, whatever the cost.
How many deaths of United States servicemen does John Kerry have on his hands?
How many families has John Kerry's behavior as a VVAW leader and a traitor to his country caused untold pain and suffering to?
How many unnecessary tears have been cried because John Kerry betrayed our trust to help a Communist government?
Does John Kerry still have ties to Communists in America?
John Kerry was an officer in the US Navy during his protests of the Vietnam War, having not received his discharge until 1978.
Why didn't John Kerry speak out just one time against the war crimes of his "Comrades in Arms the North Vietnamese Communists"?
Steven J. Pitkin says about his Winter Soldier testimony. John Kerry and other leaders of that event pressured me to testify about American war crimes, despite my repeated statements that I could not honestly do so. One event leader strongly implied that I would not be provided transportation back to my home in Baltimore, Maryland, if I failed to comply. Kerry and other leaders of the event instructed me to publicly state that I had witnessed incidents of rape, brutality, atrocities and racism, knowing that such statements would necessarily be untrue.
I've also been wondering why Kerry never reported the atrocities he supposedly witnessed while in Vietnam. Maybe because Kerry may have never witnessed any atrocities while he was in Vietnam. The VVAW leaders were meeting with the North Vietnamese Communist Government, leaders of the Communist Party in Moscow, and possibly the KGB, leaders of the Communist Party International in Paris, leaders of the Communist Party USA, and last but not least the group of Communists in South Vietnam that backed the North Vietnamese Communists.
These Communist groups were directing the VVAW leaders as to what they wanted them to do, when they wanted them to do it, and that is what the VVAW did.
So in a nutshell, when the world communist leaders told Kerry and his VVAW group what to do, that is what they did, no questions asked.
And that there is this posted by Freeper Fedora:
According to Newsweek magazine, Kerry met with Liu Chaohying, a Hong Kong businesswoman who wanted to have her company listed on the U.S. Stock Exchange. Kerry lobbied on her behalf by helping to organize a meeting between Liu Chaohying and a senior Securities and Exchange (SEC) official.
In return, Kerry accepted a $10,000 contribution in the form of a Beverly Hills Fundraise on Sept 9, 1996, less than a month before the election, Newsweek reported.
It would later be established that Liu Chaohying was not simply a profit-motivated businesswoman, but rather a lieutenant colonel in the Communist China's Peoples Liberation Army.
Newsweek reported that more than $28,000 in illegal contributions were funneled into the campaign of then President Bill Clinton and Kerry, and that "the contributions came out of $300,00 in overseas wire transfers sent on orders from the chief of the Chinese military intelligence - and routed through a Hong Kong bank account controlled by Liu Chaohying."
The Los Angeles Times reported that Senator Kerry sent 28 letters on behalf of San Diego defense contractor Parthassarthi "Bob" Majumder between 1996 and 1999 in order to "free up federal funds" for a guided missile system designed by Majumder. In return, court documents show, Majumder induced his employees to contribute approximately $25,000 to Senator Kerry's campaign, while paying them proceeds from the government tracts in return.

How can one watch the Drudge video and conclude that Kerry did NOT pull a white paper from his pocket surreptitiously as he was turning away from the audience and then lay it on the podium? Against the agreed-upon rules of the debate.
And all the time, he had a s***eating grin on his face.
If I were Bush, I would cancel the next debate, and/or force Kerry to submit to a full, televised search of his clothing beforehand.

And wouldn't we look stupid if it turned out to be a handkerchief?
The lying and the cheating are correctly documented and exploited in other venues, such as his Senate voting record and the SBVT campaign.
This can't be proven.

He should definitely be attacked on the real issues, but he shouldn't be allowed to get away with this, either. If we call him on it now, at least he probably won't try it again.

I didn't mean Kerry would use the handkerchief to wipe his nose. (Unless he pretended, at the end of the debate, to wipe his nose, so he could take the handkerchief off the podium).

They were talking about newsweek poll on Fox and showed the clip of Kerry pulling out the notes or whatever.They didnt say nothing about him and his notes ,just showed the clip.Ill bet Fox is doing it on purpose.Hell yeah. Go Fox

And wouldn't we look stupid if it turned out to be a handkerchief?
not allowed its a tangible item...there was a reason for the rules and they were broken by Kerry...
Wouldn't it be great if the debate security/ Secret Service had a hidden camera overhead shot of the podiums?
