DES MOINES -- John Sasso, a senior adviser to John F. Kerry's presidential campaign, threatened to ban Fox News staff from the candidate's plane Friday night when Fox initially refused to apologize for a talk show host's comment that a new videotape showed Osama bin Laden with a Kerry button.
ADVERTISEMENT Kerry advisers quickly backtracked, however, concluding that an escalating conflict with a major cable channel just days before the election would do nothing to help the Democratic nominee. Kerry senior adviser Mike McCurry spoke to Fox executives Friday and yesterday and was told that the Fox News host, Neil Cavuto, may address the remark on Monday's show, officials from Fox and the Kerry campaign said.
The furor was a rare moment of visible frustration inside the Kerry camp: Kicking a major cable outlet off of the candidate's plane would almost certainly spark a run of negative stories in the media about Kerry lieutenants lashing out and their preelection confidence vanishing.
After the videotape of bin Laden was widely broadcast Friday afternoon, a Republican guest on Cavuto's show said the Al Qaeda leader's criticisms of President Bush amounted to ''an endorsement" of Kerry. A second guest objected, saying, ''I don't think he's going to have a Kerry-Edwards sticker in the cave."
Chimed in Cavuto: ''He's all but doing that. I thought I saw a button."

Bush should retaliate by banning CBS/NBC/ABC/PBS/NYTimes/WashPost.... from Air Force One.
I may need to break my Marlowe books out of storage.
It's called getting too close to the truth.
OBL not only had a Kerry button, he had a jar of Teraaaaaayza's gin soaked white raisins nearby. He said they are good for his arthritis.
Must have hit pretty close to the mark to get them all riled up like that, huh kid?
Steppin' in it again....
"The reason I look so good (relatively speaking, of course) is the botox injections. Thanks, John! Please send more, and include some of that tanning formula! I want to see how my goat Stella will look with orange hair. Our relationship could use a little spice."
a new videotape showed Osama bin Laden with a Kerry button.
=====
I saw a new video where Osama bin Laden was (gasp!) showing his belly button !!! ;-))
Not "a" but THE major cable news channel.
LOL!
If that was a joke, it was hilarious.
Fox needs to stand by Cavuto and tell these people to hget a sense of humor and understand irony...Cavuto is a commentator. My goodness, if they want to climb on his case for this lets rewind the tapes of Matthews, O'Donneland Olberman on MSNBC, just for starters...give me a freaking break...
Patriots...are you prepared for these rabid lunatics? Its like the Dawn of the Dead...zombies...aliens in our midst...they are not part of us and we better be prepared to defend ourselves when the zombies go beserk...
I think I have the real story behind the Bin Laudin tape: It is not really Bin Laudin. It is Terry McAuliffe in his Bin Laudin Halloween costume.
Here's one for Terry McAuliffe:

This is in keeping with the DNC and Kerry/Edwards campaign's anti-free speech agenda. They have hounded Nader with frivolous lawsuits. They hounded the theater owner that was going to show 'stolen honor' with a frivolous lawsuit. Now they are clamping down on a network over an offhand joke by an announcer. The message is - if Kerry doesn't like your opinion you will be kneecapped. And this guy wants to be president? What a joke.
'King' John wants his mommy.
Is this the first evidence of the "gulag" they are planning for all who do not blindly support Kerry/Edwards and for all of those who might point out truth and reality?
I know many people who are planning for the mourning this nation will be brought to through a Kerry win and further Judicial rule in this nation, taking the power out of the hands of the people and handing it to some kind of "world" authority.
I'm glad that ended the way I thought it would!
