MoveOver Swifties:New 527 Exposes Kerry's "Willie Horton" Moment/Estrich has Carville "Wah!" Moment

The Blogspirator was researching an upcoming exclusive story by trolling a well-known Democrat message board and came across a different story about a new 527 organization run by a Stephen Marks, a Republican political consultant. His ads are likely to open a new saga in the ongoing 527 debates. Two new ads to be released next week on Tues. September 7.

The new 527 organization is creatively named MoveOnForAmerica.org.

One ad discusses Kerry's involvement as a private attorney in securing the release of George Reissfelder, an escapee of Massachussetts notorious furlough program. He had tried to kill a police officer, and after Kerry got him off the hook, continued his life of crime as part of a mafia drug ring. It draws a parallel with Dukakis Furlough Superstar Willie Horton, and points out that Kerry was Lt. Governor under Dukakis.

The other ad covers Kerry's connection with Al Sharpton. It discusses Sharptons colorful past including blaming the US for the September 11th attacks, calling Hitler a "great man, video of him urging college students to kill police,"pigs" as Sharpton called them, the mob of his followers who burned a white (the ad leaves out that they were Jewish) owned cloting store called "Freddys Fashions" killing seven, and his calling the owners of the store "white interlopers" for daring to do business in Harlem.

It leaves out other colorful Sharpton moments such as the Crown Height riots, the Tawana Brawley incident, comparing Attorney General Robert Abrams, a Jew, to Adolf Hitler, Mario Cuomo to the KKK, or his odd relationship with Michael Jackson. It also leaves out Al Sharpton and John Kerry's relationship with antisemite Arafat buddy Jesse Jackson who referred to New York as "Hymietown."

Connecting the Dots

The Blogspirator has a long.... memory. In the 2000 political campaign, Stephen Marks, the founder of MoveOnForAmerica.org, ran a different group called "Americans Against Hate."

Americans Against Hate ran an ad ad that criticized Algore's support for Al Sharpton. It used the same Hitler is "a great man" quote and the same footage of Sharpton urging college students to kill police officers. Curiously, the connections come full circle since it was Algore who who first used Horton in a campaign ad against Dukakis in the '88 Democrat primaries.

The Blogspirator does not point this out as some sort of scandal that Marks has recycled his work... The real scandal is that high-ranking Democrats still associate with an amoeba like Sharpton.

For the record, The Blogspirator is opposed to all campaign finance "reform" regulation and also further regulation of any 527-type groups as unwarranted restrictions on first amendment rights. Candidates and parties shouldn't be the only ones allowed to voice their opinions!



The Blogspirator has wondered how long it would take for the Ghost of Dukakis Past to cast a long shadow over the 2004 Presidential race. It looks like that time is now upon us.

Dukakis campaign manager Susan Esterich wrote a what The Blogspirator believes is a prescient article called "Mad as Hell" on September 1, which is archived at (of all places) Newsmax.

She decries the ineffectiveness of the Kerry campaign at fending off the Swift Boat Vets, incorrectly calling their charges inaccurate half truths and smears. (Christmas in Scambodia, VC the Dog, and the first purple heart/journal incidents all come to mind as "true.")

As we pointed out in a previous article about John Kerry (Kerry's Freudian Projection is Showing), there is a psychological problem which precisely explains Democrat strategist thinking.

Freudian Projection: "A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept. It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."

You have to read her entire article yourself to fully appreciate what she says.

The Blogspirator believes that, in essence, Estrich is describing the upcoming planned Democrat scorched earth campaign. It's possible that the MoveOnForAmerica.org ads will be cited as a "cause" for the upcoming Democrat ads, but Estrich let the details slip before the Furlogh & Sharpton ads were even released.

Esterich wrote: (excerpted)

You have to fight fire with fire, mud with mud, dirt with dirt.

The trouble with Democrats, traditionally, is that we're not mean enough. Dukakis wasn't. I wasn't. I don't particularly like destroying people. I got into politics because of issues, not anger. But too much is at stake to play by Dukakis rules, and lose again.

Will it be the three, or is it four or five, drunken driving arrests that Bush and Cheney, the two most powerful men in the world, managed to rack up? (Bush's Texas record has been sealed. Now why would that be? Who seals a perfect driving record?)

After Vietnam, nothing is ancient history, and Cheney is still drinking. What their records suggest is not only a serious problem with alcoholism, which Bush but not Cheney has acknowledged, but also an even more serious problem of judgment. Could Dick Cheney get a license to drive a school bus with his record of drunken driving? (I can see the ad now.)

It has been said that in the worst of times, Kissinger gave orders to the military not to obey Nixon if he ordered a first strike. What if Bush were to fall off the wagon? Then what? Has America really faced the fact that we have an alcoholic as our president?

Or how about Dead Texans for Truth, highlighting those who served in Vietnam instead of the privileged draft-dodging president,

and ended up as names on the wall instead of members of the Air National Guard. I'm sure there are some mothers out there who are still mourning their sons, and never made that connection. It wouldn't be so hard to find them.

Or could it be George Bush's Former Female Friends for Truth. A forthcoming book by Kitty Kelly raises questions about whether the president has practiced what he preaches on the issue of abortion. As Larry Flynt discovered, a million dollars [ED - READ: SOROS] loosens lips. Are there others to be loosened?

Are you shocked? Not fair? Who said anything about fair? Remember President Dukakis? He was very fair. Now he teaches at Northeastern University. John Kerry has been very fair in dealing with the Swift Boat charges. That's why so many of my Democrat friends have decided to stop talking to the campaign, and start putting money together independently.

The arrogant little Republican boys who have been strutting around New York this week, claiming that they have this one won, would do well to take a step back. It could be a long and ugly road to November.

The Blogspirator predicts it's going to be a very ugly campaign, and that Estrich just laid out the Democrat campaign strategy. We will have much to write about. Oh, and please don't read anything into our using the words "ugly" and "Estrich" in the same sentence.

Oh, and add the Washington Post.

In an article this morning about Bush's Nat'l Guard service, page A2, here's the accompanying photo:

Democrat Says He Helped Bush Into Guard to Score Points

The trouble with Democrats, traditionally, is that we're not mean enough.

Then she writes

It has been said that in the worst of times, Kissinger gave orders to the military not to obey Nixon if he ordered a first strike. What if Bush were to fall off the wagon? Then what? Has America really faced the fact that we have an alcoholic as our president?

And then she writes

Or how about Dead Texans for Truth, highlighting those who served in Vietnam instead of the privileged draft-dodging president,

Not mean enough? My God, she says dems are not mean enough and then proceeds to spew the some of meanest most slanderous and baseless claims I've heard since.... well since reading what John Edwards said yesterday. Draft doging? She must be thinking about Clinton. Bush was in the National Guard. I bet draft doging never once passed her lips during Clitons terms. Every time I read a democrats column it is driven home even more to me. They are not our opponents, they are our enemies.

Big Lie theory.

A big lie has to be repeated by as many locations as possible to be bootstrapped to validity.

A lying 527 is reported in the local media, which is picked up by 60 minutes as a story on the 527's vituousness, which is then reported by CNN as a product of CBS news' news division, which is then picked up by the NYT as a story covered by CBS and CNN. Then the newspapers run with the NYT story saying it is a crisis. Meanwhile it is a complet lie.

(ala the kitty kelly abortion story which has been fished around the internet for years)

[Mr. Thorne]

With regards to Cheney, I'd like to see them take this and run with it.

Take the podium away, put out a mike, and a stool.

Out comes the Veep, with a glass of adult beverage in his hand (a la Ron White), reaches for the mike, and says...

"Susan Estrich says I drink too much. I saw her on Fox. The face and voice of the opposition. Lord, I don't think I drink ENOUGH..."

[truthandlife]

Are you serious??? 11 points is nothing after a Convention. I hope the Republicans don't just think the media and the Dems are going to roll over after the CNN poll. They are going to be more vicious, there are going to be more negative stories, there are going to be lies, there are going to be dead people going to polls, ballot stuffing, multiple computer votes.

This is war and you don't fight a war with no weapons. Let the 527's do Bush's dirty work. If it is the truth then start letting people know about it. Rove knows this is war and he treated 2000 as a war. The only thing is he put down his arms the last week of the 2000 campaign. Rove underestimated the Democrat vote fraud machine.

Do you know how much money the Dems have in 527's? Do you knwo how much Kerry put into the swing state ads this week? We cannot relax now and we have to fight fire with fire.

Check out this gallup.com page for a chart of Post-Convention Increases in Support, 1964-2004 -- It shows that Kerry is the only one ever to get a "negative bounce" after his convention.

[Republican Wildcat]

I don't like the tone of those ads. I don't think they do anything to help our cause. They are ripe with the type of material to cause a media feeding frenzy of negative coverage. If that group is truly hoping to help Bush, they are very stupid.

[q_an_a]

next to the word Mean, in the dictionary, is a picture of George Mitchell.

[Republican Wildcat]

Do you know what the name of that group is?

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

"in the third person all the time, like Bob Dole or 'Jimmy'"

and Herschel Walker

[adam_az]

"Does the blogspirator talk about himself in the third person all the time, like Bob Dole or 'Jimmy' from that episode of seinfeld???"

He finds it to be an entertaining literary device. Er, I do. :)
