Campaign Supporting Kerry Readies Ads to Capitalize on Terrorist Attack on US
Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily | Thursday, October 14, 2004 | Global Information Service

Posted on 10/13/2004 9:21:00 PM PDT by Wallaby

In today's Defense & Foreign Affairs Daily it is claimed that Global Information System sources report that supporters of Sen. John Kerry have "prepared a series of television ads to take advantage of a possible major terrorist attack against the US before the [November 2, 2004] election" ["Campaign Supporting US Presidential Hopeful Kerry Readies Ads to Capitalize on Terrorist Attack on US"].

The ads reportedly say of President George W. Bush: "He said he'd keep us safe. He didn't."

The report does not identify the tax-exempt 527 group that has prepared the ads.

"I hate this f-cking election. I hate democrats more and more each waking minute."

I'm glad for once that somebody else beat me to a remark. I am getting ulcers with hate eating me up.

"Our family has talked about the possibility that there will be rioting in the streets when Bush wins..."

May God forbid, but that is why we have a 2nd amendment - So we can protect our families. Its possible a riot could break out in one of the big cities.

I thought the exploitation of Chris Reeve was a new low. I was wrong.

Hoping for thousands of people to die to help you win an election.

my sister and I have always been close. she is a rabid Kerry supporter, but we usually laugh about the fact that we can't discuss politics. well, my daughter (24 years old) is a genuine "undecided" and has asked me not to try to influence her, she wants to make up her own mind. that's fine with me. toay my sister e-mailed her another of her many pitches for Kerry, and my dauther asked her to please stop. my usually even-tempered sister went off on my daughter, leaving her in tears.
what is Kerry doing to these people? they are all going nuts.

Tonight Greta Von Sustern asked Jesse Jackson about the voter fraud in Colorado. I was so upset by Jackson's answer that I didn't hear the whole thing, but he said that rich people have lots of ways to influence politics but poor people.... (I assume he said, don't have that many options open to them.

I wonder how many major TV network reporters are quietly discussing the best way to react when the expected al Qaeda attacks come? I.e. the way that will help Kerry the most?

I'll go out on a limb and predict 10 to 20 suicide bombers in shopping malls across the US, dressed in the latest fashion that's hot in the Palestinian camps these days, taking out an average of 30 innocent Americans each.

How should the reporters best play this? How long should they spend in the initial non-partisan phase, where they do nothing more than shed tears as the photos of dead women and children flash by? An hour? Half a day? How long should they spend in this mode before they shift gears and start angrily blaming Bush?

And just how over the top can they go? What can they get away with? Would it be going too far to have a split screen - with the left half showing an endlessly repeating video of Dubya on the carrier saying "Mission accomplished!" - while the right half shows body parts of kids in a mall? If that's too blatant, then how much should they back off? Perhaps instead of the body parts, put a grieving Security Mom on the right side screaming that this is all Bush's fault?

Oh, the poor media! How tough this must be for them to plan for! Their biggest problem is that they can't hire a focus group of undecided voters to test out all the possibilities. News of this would leak for sure.

YES, they will try ANYTHING! They aren't very smart. I think they must have the Clintons advising them.

Hoping for a Spain repeat.

In more ways than one. The jihadists would never have won in Spain had the Spanish media (most of which is a direct tool of the Socialist Party) not seized it to attack Aznar, whom they had always hated. There were media and Socialist coordinated mini-riots outside of PP (Aznar's Conservative party) headquarters. Furthermore, by election day, you would have thought that Aznar himself had planted the bombs, according to the press and the Socialists.

That's exactly what would happen here.

This is BS...


Ive seen allot of very new members to FR saying the same thing.

"when bush wins the dems say they will go violent"
"I have a lib friend that says hell get violent if bush wins"

yadda yadda yadda

Sounds like inoculation to me.

Trust me on this guys, When it becomes apparent ( not to the MSM but to those of us who care) that the left stole this election through vote fraud and intimidation you are going to learn the meaning of violence.
