On now - Blather is insinuating that the Bush administration is exploiting 9/11. Wants the ads taken off the air

CBS News has reached the gutter.

fyi..

"CBS News has reached the gutter"

CBS hit the gutter long before this my friend.....

[KellyAdmirer]

Kerry is busy exploiting the Vietnam war, when 50,000 died.

The liberal Rather can go pound sand.

[Labyrinthos]

On now - Blather is insinuating that the Bush administration is exploiting 9/11.

And what does Blather think the Ketchup Boy is doing when he attacks our president for his response to 09.11? GWB is exploiting 09.11 and the resulting war on terror, but the Ketchup Boy is not?

[cripplecreek]

I want to see an ad that shows pictures of saddam husseins "check up". If nothing else it would enrage democrats even more.

[GSWarrior]

Countdown to civil war.

[bob_esb]

Just so that the rest of us can be clear.

Does anyone have the actual statement?

[Mark]

I'd like to see another ad showing ONLY police officers at the trade center-- no firemen and listen to their union scream.

[mwl1]

The Administration should tell the RATS and their media handmaidens to go to Hell. Beyond that, tell them the next ad will feature people jumping out of the WTC buildings while John Kerry is superimposed split-screen, speaking from the Senate against the death penalty for terrorists.

That ought to shut the bastards up.

[Moby Grape]

As Rush said recently, we have waited 10 years for the GOP to effectively answer the school lunch and medicare cuts lies the dems told...so, I am NOT confident the the GOP can set the record straight...we need a Moveon.org group to run ads...the RNC has proven that worry too much about Dan Rather calling them negative.

[Williams]

Yes, and why is it so hard to send a dozen or two republicans out to say just that: "There is a disturbing pattern here. we're not supposed to discuss this presidency or the peril facing our nation; we're not supposed to look at the record of their candidate or what he would do to our national security if elected. it would be a great disservice to the American people and a threat to our security if we followed such wrong headed thinking. Just what about our record - and his - does senator Kerry want to hide?"

[AppyPappy]

All the talking heads have the DNC talking points. What a coincidence.

Brit on Fox News is reading off a list of people screaming Bush pull the ads.....the RATS/MEDIA are in full panic mode.

[terilyn]

Fred Barnes just did it on Special Report with Brit Hume.

He said there's a pattern. If Kerry's voting record is brought up, the Republicans are accused of "Attacking his patriotism". If 9-11 is brought up, the Republicans are accused of "Exploiting the tragedy".

The fact is the dems do NOT want this election to be about National Security. They know Kerry is weak on that issue and they will attack to try to change the subject.

[SanDiegoBushMan]

Question.... Did Dan Rather say the ads should be pulled or did he say that the Dem's are calling for the ads to be pulled????

[Miss Marple]

You will be happy to know that Fred Barnes just used almost your exact words on Brit's show just now. Karen Hughes also came out and said it was a defining moment in the presidency and the President's leadership during and after 9/11 was a legitimate issue.

[lawdude]

"Wants the ads taken off the air"

I want Rather taken of the air! What a bastard.

Kerry is exploiting the deaths of 50,000 in Viet Nam and the war with his unending references to his valor in that war!

[TheRightGuy]

All the talking heads have the DNC talking points. What a coincidence.

Yeah, and they ain't seen nothin' yet. Just can't wait 'til carrier landing ad goes, immediately followed by Thanksgiving dinner in Iraq. Give 'em hell. Make 'em squeal. T effin' S!!

I wanna see McAwful's face explode!

[philetus]

The only one exploiting 9/11 for political gain here is Rather.
