CBS Fearful Kerry Comments Will Mobilize GOP Base (Fear it MSM, he's your creation)
NewsBusters ^ | 11/1/2006 | Michael Rule

Posted on 11/01/2006 12:30:37 PM PST by tobyhill

Wednesday’s "Early Show" on CBS highlighted Senator John Kerry’s disparaging remarks about the American military in three separate segments, but instead of expressing outrage at Kerry’s comments, CBS seemed more concerned that the Republicans may use them for political gain in the midterm elections. While CBS omitted mentions that some Democrats have refused to campaign with Kerry and others have asked that he apologize, the netowrk pondered if the outrage expressed by Republicans was an effort to "fire up the base" or simply a "desperate" attempt to change the subject.

Co-host Hannah Storm inquired of White House Press Secretary Tony Snow if President Bush’s demand that Kerry apologize to the troops was genuine or:

"...Is this an effort to get out the conservative, fire up the base and get the vote out in advance of next week's election?"

In the weekly "Capitol Bob" segment, Harry Smith asked Bob Schieffer:

"Did John Kerry give the Republicans a gift or is the White House so desperate to divert attention from the failing policy in Iraq?"

Schieffer conceded this gaffe was a gift from John Kerry, but cautioned:

"Now, how far this goes and where it goes from here, it's hard to say. But at least they've [Republicans] managed to change the conversation for a day."

Bwahahaha it is happening. I wasn't up for working as hard on '06 as I did for '04 but all that's changed now.

I used to like Hanna Storm, until I found out she could speak.

I like Hannah, hope she doesn't get converted by Big Media Democrats.

I remember Hannah doing radio in Houston long ago.

Thank you Hannah for doing your part to fire up the base!

I bet tonight that this story will not even be mentioned by the MSM news desks. Of course, I won't be watching anyway, but the media's suits have got to find a way to sweep this under the rug.

The press watering holes in NYC and DC will be doing a land office business today and tonight as they all attempt to drown their sorrows over what Kerry has wrought. During the Tony Snow show today they were doing everything in their power to change the subject, and ABC radio news just ran a little short story that "Mark Foley is STILL in treatment," very reminiscent of Franco's prolonged death.

Don't worry CBS, you and the other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the democrat party have covered up for Kerry. Few Americans really know what Kerry said, since all the media presented it as a criticism of Bush.
The media can not be trusted.

Kerry's karma ran over his dogma.

I think they already have by claiming this is all from the "hate-filled right-wing nut-jobs".

Yes! That's it! Rove remotely hypnotized Kerry, subliminally put those words into his mind, and created voices in Kerry's head that compelled him to say them out loud! Yes...it's Rove's fault!!

Is he still dead?

It's not often that a candidate takes down a party with him, and even more rare that it happens twice. But Kerry, like William Jennings Bryan, has done it.
