TAMPA, FL – Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf today issued the following statement:

"The Democratic National Committee is making fraudulent phone calls claiming that I have endorsed Senator Kerry. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I demand that they stop immediately.

"Senator Kerry opposed the Reagan defense build-up that won the Cold War. Senator Kerry opposed the removal of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Senator Kerry proposed billions in intelligence cuts after the first attack on the World Trade Center. Senator Kerry voted against funds to equip our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with supplies like body armor and ammunition.

"I am supporting President Bush for reelection, because he is the candidate who has demonstrated the conviction needed to defeat terrorism. In contrast to the President's steadfast determination to defeat our enemies, Senator Kerry has a record of weakness that gives me no confidence in his ability to fight and win the War on Terror. His attempt to make up for these deficiencies by falsifying my endorsement only confirms my impression that he is not the man we need to lead our nation."

Please stop calling them the MSM (Main Stream Media). They are only mainstream because you (and others) keep calling them that. I call them the Corrupt Liberal Media (CLM) or simply the Old Media. -- 25 posted on 11/01/2004 5:25:24 PM EST by wvobiwan

I agree totally, and believe they should be referred to as "Left Bank Media" (which cleverly uses the word "left" AND evoked mental associations with France).

Why don't you start calling people saying you're Golan Cipel and you and your lover endorse John Kerry, because if he wins, you'll no longer have to be ashamed of your lust for democrat men in biker shorts. :)

This is great...
First Lockhart calls Gen Franks a liar.
Then DNC lies about Stormin' Norman.

Kerry just loves our military..............NOT!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He is quite the liberal, I understand.

"This is beyond despicable, even for the 'Rats!"

Par for the course in Jersey. In 2000, they were going into group homes for the mentally disabled and telling them that if they didn't vote for Gore and Corzine, they'd all be put into institutions. Then the gotv vans loaded 'em up and drove 'em to the polls.

"The problem is that this won't get a bit of coverage until after the election."

Let me be the first to predict the Ledger won't even bury this on page 43. They'll just pretend it never happened.

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

[rocksblues]

I heard that the call started with a statement from hillary then switched to stormin Norman.

[Spacetrucker]

You think that's bad? There was a news story late last week that claimed that military personnel's absentee cards were sent out VERY late and most of them won't get back in time - then the teamster thug Rendell said that if they don't get back in time they won't count. THIS MAKES ME MAD!!

'Rats in Pennsylvania are calling heavily Republican areas and lying to the old people

I'm in Maine...I got a big, shiny, colored notice in the mail today all about how Bush is going to cut my Soc. Sec.

I know a lot of elderly that would fall for that.

Can;t they be sued for false advertising??? (not to mention knowingly lying to hurt the pres. - Isn't that "malice aforethought"?)

When are we going to get tough with law suits? These people only pull in their horns when they know we'll fight back

[bushfamfan]

He campaigned for Bush in 2000 too. Who knows if he WAS a Demonrat or is a Zell Miller type but the Demonrat party continues to show why they are the party of scum. I hope the General will make a taped message they can send out or possibly demand to appear on some morning show tomorrow.

[Avenger]

Thank you General for your service to our country and support of our President.

We need to bombard the MSM with emails and phone calls. Let's see if we can force them to report this. This is unbelievably disgusting - even for the Democrat party.

[maine-iac7]

Hey, folks, we should be putting together a book with all the dirty tricks/lies they have pulled this campaign - and some are dragged out every campaign, like the soc.sec. scam - and have it ready for publication and sale 6 months before the next election...Not joking

[wardaddy]

The Left is pathetic.

Prepare for Jonestowns around the country tommorow night.

[TheBattman]

Exactly - the damage is done.

[weegee]

They loathe the military (along with loathing Christians). They lie to these constituents because they know what is "best" for the public.

'Please stop calling them the MSM (Main Stream Media). They are only mainstream because you (and others) keep calling them that. I call them the Corrupt Liberal Media (CLM) or simply the Old Media.'

How about the LSM (Lame Stream Media)?

[weegee]

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Way to go Kerry & Co. Nothing is too low for these slugs.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Thank you. Interesting that we haven't heard any of this on the radio top of the hour news.

Also interesting they aren't using the generals that Kerry always brags are in his corner - including Weasely Clark.

[Cutterjohnmhb]

NYT's and others believe we are sheep, to be led to their thinking..and slaughter if they wished...They have NO honor. No one should expect any media to pick up this story as they didn't so many others..except talk radio.

Save a Forest hug a tree !!! Shut down the NYT's /grin
