I think you are right. If you decide to start a ping list for later please add me!

Here is where I went to get permission.

Antonius. I do not know who the graphic artist is but they deserve a medal.

This Sunday, Chris Wallace, host of Fox News Sunday, read from the memo in a question to Sen. Mel Martinez, who said he'd not seen the memo or even heard of it. Wallace made no indication that he was at all skeptical of the memo; he read from it as if it were a legitimate thing. I wonder if the issue will come up this coming Sunday?

I wish Fox would rethink its FNS host choice of Chris Wallace!

Finally, we got this email from a staffer for a conservative Republican Senator:

Regarding this phantom “strategy memo” about Terri Schiavo, I can say with almost complete certainty that this memo did not get passed out by Republicans.

Several of us called this pretty much off the bat. It was my suspicion two days ago.

In 1972 Nixon was re-elected in one of the most massive landslide elections in U.S. political history, defeating George McGovern and garnering over 60% of the popular vote. He carried 49 of the 50 states, trailing only in Massachusetts.
Richard Nixon

Our Republic faced a grave threat to its existence when a single anonymous source vetoed Nixon's mandate.

Dem dirty trick PING

Antonius. I do not know who the graphic artist is but they deserve a medal.

I'll second that. Antoninus, is that your work?

[SE Mom]

Good job:)

[Stellar Dendrite]

Will do, adding your name now :)


I just need some help from anyone who wants to get involved, we could flood Rush's, Sean's, etc email box.....

As stated before, I cannot let this issue die. It is too important, and the fraud is so blatant. It will put more doubt in non-political junkie's mind about the lying propagandists in the MSM. They want terri to die quickly, I want to see them die even quicker.

[Stellar Dendrite]

PING!!!

[Stellar Dendrite]

BTW, I love your tagline ;)

[spodefly]

Where the hell have you been? Please tell me you forgot the /sarcasm switch!

I like to say things that are totally obviously sarcasm yet not signed as such just to see how many fish I can catch.

[Wolfstar]

I know everyone is concentrating on Terri right now...

I'm not. So I'll be happy to pay attention to the main reason I come to FR -- politics.

[cyncooper]

There is also what I call a "bias magnification" effect, as exemplified by the Boston Globe and Chris Matthews to name a few, where the alleged "source" of the memos keeps moving higher and higher up in the Republican leadership with each telling of the story.

I've been boycotting Chrissy. Was spittle flying?

What a jerk he is.

[Stellar Dendrite]

"They want terri to die quickly, I want to see them die even quicker."

Oops, I hope my statement is not misconstrued. What I mean by this is I want their influence to die off more quickly, not the journalists themselves.

[Mo1]

Dem dirty trick

Do they do anything else?

The sure do have a history with memos

[Stellar Dendrite]

"as exemplified by the Boston Globe and Chris Matthews to name a few, where the alleged "source" of the memos keeps moving higher and higher up in the Republican leadership with each telling of the story."


I pray to god that these individuals keep promoting this story. If you guys missed it, Lautenfraud called for an investigation into these memos:


"Lawmaker Calls for Congressional Investigation Into "Schiavo Talking Points" Circulated by Republican Leaders"
http://lautenberg.senate.gov/~lautenberg/press/2003/01/2005323939.html


I hope the above gains momentum as well....this will play into our favor because we can show that the memo is a fraud just like the Bush Nat'l Guard memo.

It could even be authentic, but it's really cool watching this empty suits soil themselves so readily because they can't be sure they won't be Rathered.

[whereasandsoforth]

They really should know by now that no democrat can word a document intelligently enough to fool anyone into believing it came from a republican. But bless their pointed little heads, they keep trying!

[Mr. Lucky]

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
