Excerpt: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2004/cyb20041013.asp

CBS Evening News, October 12. Dan Rather announced: "In the presidential campaign, there's a whole new twist tonight to negative campaigning on television."

On Tuesday night, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, who in August denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads as a new "low" in politics and proceeded to try to discredit them, led with how "the Democrats prepare for war over an anti-Kerry film to be shown on a string of right-wing TV stations," though they are mainly small market Fox, WB and UPN affiliates with little, if any, news programming, and he soon asked a guest: "Is this still political discourse at this point or has it moved closer to Lyndon LaRouche or the American Nazi Party demanding air time?"

Olbermann's first question: "Is the Moore thing less of a danger zone journalistically here because you have to buy it, you have to go out and actually agree to watch it, and he's not presenting it as news, but the airing of 'Stolen Honor' is being presented over the air and served up as essentially unadulterated fact?" Interview with Mort Zuckerman, New York Daily News, Publisher)

It's payback for the "Daisy Ad" of 1964.

Hyman sounds Jewish to me......Pretty soon it's going to be a Jewish conspiracy. Just watch.

I posted on this when this happened, thank you for the actual transcript. It was outrageous. But the VP held his own and more. Shut ole Durbin mouth.

The Democrats do hate turnabout, don't they? What scares me is the serious public discussion about whether censorship and prior restraints should be imposed based on partisan cries of unfairness. The die is cast-to bar this broadcast would be censorship of the worst kind, and absolutely unprecedented.

Dear lying, cheating, misleading, whining Liberal Democrats,

SHOVE IT!

Yours Truly, A Vietnam Veteran accused by John Kerry on the floor of the Senate of beheading people like the subhumans in Iraq that are beheading people, and had to explain to his 13 year old daughter why a U. S. Senator would make such an outrageous claim against her father.

Keith Olberman proclaimed at the end of an interview with two guests discussing the upcoming final debate between Kerry and Bush. "I, of course, will determine who is the winner."

"Was valuable time wasted?" asked Charlie Gibson at the top of the June 22 show.

Oh please...

Hypocrite Kerry 'Couldn't Think' for 40 Minutes on 9/11

Rangel is such an idiot.

The Sinclair Broadcast Group runs the nation's biggest chain of TV stations, 62 of them, covering several key swing states

FWIW, Sinclair stations reach 24% of households. That would place them in 6th place in that regard, trailing Viacom (, Fox, General Electric, Paxon Communications and Tribune Broadcasting

I'm amazed at how hard the dims are fighting this. They have to know that fighting the Swift Vets was what gave them such a boost and fighting this will have the same effect. They must really be scared!

My mistake...realized as soon as I hit post it was actually Charlie Gibson...but apparently he's an idiot too if he truly believes that garbage. I have been so incensed over Rangel's draft tactics that every time I see the name Charlie, I just get mad.

I fail to see the legitimate difference between this and the PBS documentary "Frontline: The Choice 2004". This was a documentary that is horribly biased toward glorifying everything that Kerry stood for and worked on, and demeaning everything that President Bush has done in his life.
Not to mention that it's done on a publicly funded station that relies upon tax dollars to even GET on the air.

Oh yeah, sorry...I was thinking logically, and since libs don't tend to use that portion of their tiny little brains, that would just confuse them.

Notice how they showed the clips that can be interpreted as an attack on the anti-war movement as a whole, rather than anything with Kerry or the other leaders like Hayden and Fonda. I figured this would be a tactic they would try. They are hoping to make the Swiftees and POWs look like they are saying that everyone who opposed the war is a traitor, when they are really saying that John Kerry and the VVAW leadership were traitors.

Kerry is an accomplice to murder of US citizens.

How many MIA's died because KERRY (put in charge of finding MIA's) came back and said there weren't any?

"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"

Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!

Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!

We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We hate all US Troops!

We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!

We vow to insult and undermine Iraq Prime Minister Ayad Allawi

We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal

We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida

We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.
