"They Better Hope We Don't Win" - Kerry Campaign Threat to Sinclair Broadcasting
Dayside - FNC

Posted on 10/12/2004 10:19:45 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

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.

"If Sinclair is worried play the movie, people will understand Kerry and Sinclair will not need to worry."

Maybe SBG should consider running it nightly from now until Nov 2 as their response to the threat.

Thanks for the ping.

Spokesman for anti-freedom, Crime Syndicate...Chad Criminal...

They are on the road to extinction in The United States of America and the world. Life-loving, freedom-loving, truth-loving people are connecting very rapidly. We are in the midst and at the forefront of one of the greatest changes in human history.

This was brought to you by the same party that is vandalizing, even shooting, Republican campaign headquarters. Terrorists

In the '30's Hitler's supporters used these same tactics to secure their power.

"They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected."

The twit reminds me of Pee Wee Herman.

Sorry to hear that. Do you get the one hour a day of Rush? He did discuss the Clanton threat today.

Thanks for the additional info on Clanton. Somehow he's managed to fly under my radar - till now. I'll make it a point to be on the lookout now for this spawn of Carville.

Then again, I have to assume his longevity with the Kerry campaign is limited after this disaster.

Don't have time to read this whole thread, so if someone has mentioned this, my apologies.

But in this context, it is important to remember that under the Clinton adminstration/criminal enterprise, virtually every conservative organization in the country was audited by the IRS they controlled.

According to Daily KOS, at least one sponsor, Sylvan, has already pulled it's sponsorship of Stolen Honor:

Sylvan Learning Center pulls ads from Sinclair
by Rakkasan
Tue Oct 12th, 2004 at 16:32:54 GMT

(From the diaries. A great morale boost and proof that our efforts are paying off -- kos)
As directed in this forum I sent emails to an advertiser saying that I enjoyed their products but that I was no longer going to use them, and that none of my friends and family were going to use them either because they advertised on Sinclair stations. I went on to tell them why I had a problem with Sinclair as well.
A few minutes ago I received a call from them telling me they were PULLING their advertising from the Sinclair stations.

I hope people are acting on this one.

They all seem very well schooled in Intimidation politics. By all indications, they're all students of the rise of Nazi Germany. While I won't go so far as to say that they share the National Socialist goals, they certainly are employing some of the tactics. Reminds me of a particular Star Trek Episode -

There is video of the smarmy Chad on CSPAN that I would NOT recommend watching if you want to keep your lunch down. Another entry on Chad's resume that is overshadowed by his more interesting stretches with Carville and Gore - Chad Clanton was an aide to U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La in 1998.

It's exciting, isn't it? To imagine that only a few years ago, Clanton's statement might have been buried in the media sands. Now, literally within minutes, it's across the internet and the world.

The Triumph of the Pajamahadeen in the Battle of Dan Rathergate was a first great victory, but surely won't be the last.

Any future Kerry administration just damned themselves to lose
a court battle against Sinclair by making threatening public statement.

Great point. Ironically, if there's any broadcaster virtually inoculated now against the danger of losing its license, it's Sinclair!

Howard Dean threatened to break up Clear Channel just because of its politics (but not break up left-wing media organizations). This is very similar: Kerry has no respect for free speech. How is he supposed to transform this country into a social democracy if we are allowed to keep a free media?

It sure is. The ability, of life-loving people around the world, to connect has never been greater.

"They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected."

Shades of Clintoon sicking the IRS on those who dared to cross him.
