Linda Vester is currentlly interviewing Chad Clanton, described as a 'senior Kerry campaign advisor.'
Discussing the plans of the Sinclair broadcasting group to air "Stolen Honor," the documentary about Kerry's Vietnam war service, Clanton stated:
"They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected."
Vester immediately asked if that was intended as a threat to Sinclair that a Kerry administration would not renew their broadcast licenses. Clanton tried to back off, but the threat was unmistakable.
These people are thugs.
Neither is Charles Krauthammer, who is himself a quadriplegic. He wrote a scathing article today.
Every time I'd see this Chad Clanton with his sleazy counterfeit grin I could sense the seething hostility just beneath and I'm glad he's shown his true colors. This freaky froot loop reminds me of a smiling clone doll of Michael J. Fox!!
This is a fact that needs to be trumpeted over and over again to as many people as we can get to listen. Copps routinely votes against proposed fines that are passed by the majority GOP commissioners, because he doesn't think they go far enough.
O'Reilly is a total idiot. No principal. He has NO ability to view objective reality -- only his overblown ego in the mirror. I am looking at FOX less and less. They need to get fresh blood, not the pandering fools like O'Reilly.

You Can Help Stop
The Sinclair Smear Of John Kerry
Dear Virginia Democratic Friends,
The Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a conservative broadcasting network that controls television airwaves in dozens of major television markets, plans to air an anti-Kerry movie days before Election Day.
The so-called "documentary," called "Stolen Honor," was written, produced, and funded by extreme right-wing activists.
This isn't the first time the Sinclair corporate office has compromised the journalistic integrity of its stations. It ordered ABC affiliates not to air a nonpartisan tribute to our fallen U.S. soldiers, fearing the consequences for George W. Bush. And Sinclair and its executives have contributed thousands of dollars to Republican causes -- and the CEO has given the maximum donation to Bush-Cheney 04.
Take Action
Sinclair Broadcasting is using its television stations to disguise right-wing smears against John Kerry as news. The Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission to protest what is clearly an illegal corporate contribution to the Bush campaign.
But we need your help to stop this right-wing attack on John Kerry. An overwhelming outcry from the public may be the only way to stop Sinclair from airing these smears. There are two ways that we need to take action immediately:
1. Call Sinclair's affiliates. Click here for a list of phone numbers for Sinclair stations. Call them and let them know what you think about their decision to air untrue smears about John Kerry just before Election Day. In Virginia, there are two Sinclair affiliates--in Richmond and in Norfolk. You may also have family members or friends who live in other cities with Sinclair affiliates--if so, let them know!
2. Sign our petition. Click here to sign our petition demanding that Sinclair take their negative smears off the air. Forward this email to your friends and ask them to sign the petition as well.
Text of the Petition
To: Sinclair Broadcasting Group:
Your decision to force your television stations to air untrue attacks about John Kerry is a gross abuse of your position -- and constitutes an illegal contribution to the Bush-Cheney 04 campaign.
I demand that you pull your plans to air this smear against John Kerry. The partisan politics of your executives have no place in the newsrooms of your television stations.
Thank you,
The Democratic Party Of Virginia

Every time I'd see this Chad Clanton with his sleazy counterfeit grin I could sense the seething hostility just beneath and I'm glad he's shown his true colors. This freaky froot loop reminds me of a smiling clone doll of Michael J. Fox!! ...BUSH IS WINNING!!
anyone have a picture of that creton, Clanton?
Noooooo!!!! Don't torture me!!!
This is disgusting. We all know that Clinton had the IRS go after his enemies and they are declaring beforehand that they intend to follow suit. God help us! And that is not just a figure of speech but a plea and a prayer.
Looks like Chad Clanton...
"Freaky fruit loop" - good one! I don't think I'd ever seen him before. He gave off some of the worst, strangest, vibes I'd ever seen from a national-level political spokesman. If he isn't fired after this comment, we'll have clear proof that the Kerry people are thugs - and proud of it.
I hope they're not elected.
LOL
I didn't see the O'Reilly post - did he comment on this subject? Don't tell me - let me guess - O'Reilly came down on Kerry's side against Sinclair and the SBVTs again. He called them liars the day the book came out - he hadn't read it or interviewed any vets. I did hear him say that the ABC memo "was no big deal" and that "they" should get over it.
I wish the film was available in DVD form, so that the rest of us could see it.
Not so strange, they know they have no defense against the truth.
A quick Google reveals that Clanton learned his thuggery at the knee of Satan himself: he used to work for James Carville.
