DRUDGE EXCLUSIVE: GOP TO LAUNCH 'WHITE FLAG' DEM ATTACK
The Drudge Report ^ | December 8, 2005 | Matt Drudge

Posted on 12/08/2005 3:46:41 PM PST by new yorker 77

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.”

**Could this be the beginning of the GOP finally growing a backbone?**

Lord I hope so! I had to tell someone calling for the RNC that once the party found their cojones that I would be glad to step up my donations.

MIDI - SOUNDS OF SILENCE

Hello patriots, my friends…I have some bad news once again
You won't believe what they've been doing...our great nation they've been screwing

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

They would sell our country out…of that, you shouldn't have a doubt
They would be abdicating freedom…it’s in writing, you should read ‘em

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

Hatred of the USA…they are displaying everyday
There's disdain for our Constitution…it is time for retribution

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

It is power they must gain...it is a plan that is insane
If one of them cannot be president...they hope that we fail, it's evident

With our defense, we cannot trust Democrats
We hear the sounds of treason

They want rule by the U.N…these guys are very evil men
Their socialism's the ideal…that is the way the lefties feel

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

The GOP will never run the ad on TV. The Dems can go on TV and call Bush every name in the book. But call the Dems the anti-American trash they are, and they will kick and scream about how low it is to question their patriotism. The GOP is dead unless they do attack the Dems where it hurts, their total lack of patriotism.

Any bets?

They'll probably pull it as soon as somebody calls it "mean-spirited".

"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."

Kerry should NEVER have accused GI's in Iraq of "terrorizing children, since he himself is known for shooting a 16 yr old in the back while he was running away......and lets see....how many children were in the little sampan he caused his crew to kill?

I hope the Repubs have done this little production so it includes THAT background to his Iraq GI remarks.

I hope some Dems and some in the mainstream media get their panites in a bunch over this, and replay this to show how mean the Pubbies are. Remember the Willie Horton ad only had a small media buy, but the kvetching from the Dems put it on all the media.

Beautiful!! Looks like Michael Moore and MoveOn have finally put the noose around the necks of the DEMwit party and they're pulling them to the left so fast even Dingy Harry is turning blue. Pelosi is melting down along with Murfa, and Dean the Scream is screaming his "we can't win" prediction was taken out of context. Sure Howie, sure. Thank you George Soros and the rest of you lefty fat cats for your help.

>>>"Could it be the Republican Party has finally found its spine and is showing a bit of intestinal & testicualr fortitude? About damn time...only about 5+ years late..."<<<

FAT CHANCE

Trent Lott had MANY chances, ALL Squandered, Wasted or yes "USED TO HIS ADVANTAGE" sometimes I think the only actual scrotum complete with equipment intact in the Senate belongs to Joe Lieberman, and he is a Democrat.

I won't forget... ever!

Rope a dope operation.

The Dem's would be wise to ignore this. They won't. It will get free national air play because they will go crazy if it is as good as the GOP is letting on.

Kerry's response to Rush and Mehlman I think was the clincher for this. Kerry will be beside himself.

Will Hillary benefit? Do you think slick will show up in the montage?
