"Outraged" victims tied to John Kerry campaign DIRECTLY
I heard Rush play the sound bites of the women all saying the exact same thing. I thought I'd search for those sounds bites tonight when I came across this trail of links from Colleen Kelly and Peaceful Tomorrows back to John Kerry himself.
Here's some quick links if you want to pass this info along without all of my commentary:

Lots of info about the Tides Foundation-
The Heinz Endowments have teamed up with a secretive left-wing group [Mrs. Kerry Is A Commie]
 
More supporting information can be found here: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/opinion/s_169770.html
 
The "outraged" faces we've seen on television the past two days are more than they seem. Family members of 9/11 victims have been interviewed ad nauseum on television and in newspapers far and wide--Among those 9/11 family members quoted in newspapers and in television interviews across the nation are people like Rita Lasar and Colleen Kelly. Both Lasar and Kelly are leaders of a group called September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, which on it's surface sounds innocuous enough.But when the connections are peeled away like the layers of an onion, the true picture emerges. Peaceful Tomorrows is one of several projects sponsored by the Tides Center of Pennsylvania.But who is the Tides Center? Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania, it is none other than a creation of the Tides Foundation and Center, headquartered in San Francisco, and two Pennsylvania-based foundations -- the Vira Heinz Endowment and the Howard Heinz Endowment-- chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, heir to the Heinz food company fortune and wife of Democrat presidential contender Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

The Ruckus Society, which received over $200,000 in Tides money between 1999 and 2002, was begun in 1995 to train activists in violent protest against biotechnology, globalization and the World Bank.

He kicked ASS! Too bad the major media will cover none of it. Limbaugh is HOT today.

John Kerry for President - 'A Good American' ^ | January 13, 2004 | John Kerry for President
John Kerry may have been a good American. He may have been a good leader in battle. I see him today and now as just another damned politician who would sell his soul for personal power and what he views as an elite status in Washington.

People that protest this ad would rather forget about 9/11. Guess what? It did happen and during Bush's presidency. Not only does he have a RIGHT to reference the event, he has an OBLIGATION to do so...
These people put their own political agenda ahead of the country's safety.

Willett is a real piece of work:

Do you think the Dem's will just learn to use slightly different phrases in memos to their various recipients?

You'd think that would be the first thing to occur to them. Maybe they think the public is incredibly stupid?

In addition, it appears MoveOn.org supports Peaceful Tomorrows:

A news conference Friday by Peaceful Tomorrows, a group of victims' relatives, was arranged by MoveOn.org, a Berkeley-based group that has been running ads critical of Bush. The relatives questioned the use of the images for political gain.

``When we heard they were upset about these ads, we thought their concerns should be heard,'' said Peter Schurman, executive director of MoveOn. ``These are families of people who died. They are upset that people who were killed in these attacks are having their images used for political purposes.''

From: "Wes Boyd, MoveOn.org"

MoveOn.org's 9-11peace campaign is supporting a group of American
victims' families, September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows,
in their efforts to create a compensation fund for the families of
Afghan victims.

I heard a rumor that the White House is really p*ssed about these phony news reports.

GW and Rove need to take a page out of the old Clinton playbook.

Whenever the scent of a scandal or rumor was about to emerge during the Clinton era, Clinton had a crony in front of the media within seconds, not days later.

GW/Rove, by delaying their responses to these attacks, allow them to settle and sink in to the psyches. Not good.

Remember how quickly the 'liar Bush' attacks stuck.

GW/Rove should have an attack team in-place 24/7 because these attacks will not cease and must be responded to immediately. Those that 'settle in' for days are causing permanent damage.



Good job on the links collections, Backhoe. FR needs an 'index' page to the major links collections; otherwise, they get lost in the threads. The sidebar menu needs a permanent 'link to link collections' selection.

............and vice-versa
 
Fenton Communications, who Barry Amundson - the vice-head honcho of "Peaceful Tomorrows" - works for, has them as a client.

Thank you for posting this.

A separate category for links to these threads would be a boon for serious researchers. b
