"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."
BINGO.

New soft-money group to launch anti-Kerry ads

After some discussion, most of us have become very sceptical of that 527 -- they may well be a deliberate Dem attempt to discredit Republican 527-s, including the SwiftVets, by being so totally off the wall.
You don't need to go negative when you're 11 points ahead.
Stinks of DNC dirty tricks.
Campaigns need to go negative when they're 11 points behind, like Mr. Kerry is about to do.
The Democrat Party is going to go nuclear - and since 527's are not transparent, Mr. Soros might even be the source of the funding for this "new" 527.
Something is fishy.
I concur - it sounds like a setup!
I don't believe any republican, that is, any republican that wants Bush to win, could even fathom running such an ad and think it would be a good thing. The dems and the press would use this to completely obliterate the Swift Boat issue and mire Bush in racial controversy. I can just hear it:
1988: Bush 41, Lee Atwater, Willie Horton ad
2004: Bush 43, Karl Rove, George Reissfelder
"They're doing it again!" We wouldn't hear the end of it. This stinks to high heaven.
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.
