DRUDGE EXCLUSIVE: GOP TO LAUNCH 'WHITE FLAG' DEM ATTACK

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned from a top GOP operative that the Republican National Committee will provide state parties with a web video prior to release tomorrow afternoon that shows a white flag waving over images of Democrat leaders making anti-war remarks.

The ad is in response to the controversial comments Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean and 2004 Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry made earlier in the week.

A Democratic strategist who had the web ad described to her said, “This is way over the top but we have no one to blame but Dean, Kerry and others who continue to pander to the anti-war activists within our party.”

The web video advances the Republican contention that the Democrats only have a “retreat and defeat” message on the war in Iraq.

The video highlights the effect Democrats can have on the morale of U.S. soldiers.

One Republican strategist familiar with the ad said, “The Democrats, especially Howard Dean have a way of trying to turn the tables and say ‘that’s not what I meant’ – its just those ‘evil Republicans’ This video will make them crazy – it reinforces what they really believe with what they actually said – and that is devastating for the Democratic Party.”

Turn Mehlman loose. No wonder Dean doesn't want to appear on the same stage with him.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

and I must admit, "W" and whoever is advising him are masters of the ambush..

[Steamburg]

Are you sure it isn't Sheets Byrd hanging out his laundry.

Glad to see the RNC fighting back and stepping up - However - RNC "web-videos" are silly and not productive - Put them out as TV ads or print ads

Indeed. Where are the Swift Boat Vets?

Someone needs to turn on that big spotlight pointing to the night scky with the Batman symbol replaced by a Swift Boat. It's time to start pouring a little gasoline on the Dean-Kerry-Kennedy-Schumer-Pelosi fire. I'm good for $50 for a good cause and this is a very, very good cause.

I hope they attack them and attack them. Waiting around to 2006/7 is TOO Late!

Good picture .. LOL!

[blu]

Yes, but after the dims see it, who will have to apologize? I mean, there will be all those Democrats with hurt feelings, and (heaven forbid!) maybe even lowered self-esteem. I'm sure Pelosi will be calling for an apology!

[MamaLucci]

[Zon]

Good one. That would work too.

[sissyjane]

>>Once I see this ad .. I will stop my boycot and start sending my checks to the Republican Party again<<

Me too---and I haven't gotten my White House Christmas card because of it...(whine)

[AGreatPer]

Will get no coverage. Nough said.

[martinidon]

yep, they will roll it out and just when we get pumped up about the Republicans finding their backbone, they will come out and apologize and then crawl back in their hole.....

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Kick the Dems when they are down.


I must beg to differ with you on this. We should give them a hand up.





...the gallows steps.

[Pharmboy]

Yeah...that's the ticket...Dean is great...yeah...we're all Democrats here and we want him to stay...yeah...that's it...

[Bogey78O]

You really need to go on the offensive now. If the view is allowed to fester that the Democratic call for retreat is the only viable option then it may be too sunk in at election time to counter. Just like how Dems actually are believed by some to be strong on health care and domestic issues.

[Safetgiver]

Could this be the beginning of the GOP finally growing a backbone?....Nah, I think they're just bored.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

There’s a lesson that...we cannot trust Democrats…sewer rats
We hear the sounds of treason

Pelosi will be calling for an apology congressional hearings!
