sweet - and don't give me any crap about this being in violation of the "fairness" doctrine.

All those (Soros) adds depicting the current administration being a threat to the existence of humanity but not asking people to vote for sKerry are "fair".

My only question is why did Sinclair announce this so early? Now the rats have a chance to mobilize and intimidate Sinclair advertisers. Sinclair should have waited until the week before the airing to break the news. Just IMHO!

Too bad that the rumored footage of Kerry burning an American flag isn't going to be in it. I would LOVE to see that surface if it actually exists.

"Brilliant. Sinclair is a true patriot."

As is Carl Rove. It is really going to get uncomfortable for Kerry in the next few days!!

Let them SQUEAL. It can't sound any worse than the cries of the millions dead because of their liberalism.

""It's hard to take an offer seriously from a group that is hellbent on doing anything to help elect President Bush even if that means violating basic journalism standards," said Chad Clanton, a Kerry spokesman. " Clanton also demanded that George Soros and Moveon.org stop its work, and complained that Michael Moore's proposed showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 was a violation as well...

Because Sinclair is defining the documentary - which will run commercial free - as news, it is unclear if it will be required by federal regulations to provide Mr. Kerry's campaign with equal time to respond.

But acknowledging that news standards call for fairness, Mr. Hyman said an invitation has been extended to Mr. Kerry to respond after the documentary is shown. "There are certainly serious allegations that are leveled; we would very much like to get his response," he said.


Haha! John Kerry would never do it but it covers Sinclair's butt.

I can't wait to see it! Cheers to Sinclair for braving the leftist media firestorm they knew would result from declaring this 'newsworthy' and deciding to show it. Now we need lots of people to help make sure that the Sinclair stations do not suffer from the wrath of the demagogic left. Teddy Kennedy wants to complain to the FCC? He needs to be taught a political lesson he will never forget - a Bush/Cheney landslide with gains in both House and Senate would be a start....

"Aides to Mr. Kerry said he would not accept Sinclair's invitation.?

That statement is very telling about Lurch's ability to answer the content in the documentary. It seems apparent that Lurch cannot.

I must have missed his similar comment over the CBS memogate smear.

And don't forget the ABC memo. This Kerryite probably didn't get the ABC Memo either.

John Kerry's Discharge - He won't sign Form 180 - What is he hiding?

http://acuf.org/issues/issue21/040929pol.asp

What a young man did more than 30 years ago should not be a primary criteria in determining his qualifications to be President of the United States. George Bush has had almost 4 years now as Commander and Chief of the World"s largest military force and he should be judged on how well he has done. Yet John Kerry and the Democratic left won"t give it up. On almost a daily basis he says I served this country honorably as a young man in Vietnam (4 months/12 days) and I will serve this country honorably as Commander and Chief. Then the Left yells that George Bush got preferential treatment in getting into the National Guard and even failed to complete his guard obligations; even forging documents to prove their point.

The facts are that George Bush served honorably in the National Guard obtaining service points far in excess of the 50 annual service points required to meet his obligation. Records show that in 1968/69 he accumulated 253 points, 340 in 1969/70, 137 in 1970/71, 112 in 1971/72, 56 in 1972/73 and 56 in 1973/74. Points far in excess of the service agreed to and that required to meets his obligation and be Honorably Discharged. George Bush has never made his National Guard service a qualification to lead this country, nor has he ever questioned the service of John Kerry.

While the Left and the mainstream media have never questioned the Vietnam era service of John Kerry, they seem to feel that the record of George Bush 30 years ago should be of concern to voters in November. But what about John Kerry's record? We are told that he was a decorated veteran. We are also told that he was deeply involved in anti-war activities on his return from Vietnam in violation of his oath as an officer in the US Navy. By his own account of his actions and protests, he violated the UCMJ, the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. Code while serving as a Navy officer. Further he met, on two occasions, with North Vietnamese negotiators in 1970 and 1971, while a Reserve Officer, willingly placing himself in violation of Article three, Section three of the U.S. Constitution, which defines treason as "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy in time of warfare.

From here the record of John Kerry becomes unclear and the mainstream press won't demand that John Kerry sign a Department of Defense (DOD) form 180 that would release all of his military records. Records released by his campaign are confusing. There are indications that he was Honorably Discharged on Jan. 3, 1970, Feb 16, 1978, July 13, 1978 and even lately Mar. 12, 2001. Why the confusion on a relatively simple service event. Could it be that John Kerry received a less than honorable discharge in the early 70"s because of his anti-war activities? And then was pardoned for those activities when then President Jimmy Carter on January 21, 1978 ( Proclamation 4483) granted a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all persons who may have committed any offense between August 4, 1964 and March 28, 1973 in violation of the Military Selective Service Act or any rule or regulation promulgated there under.

Did John Kerry request that his service be granted an Honorable Discharge and it was finally granted in 1978? Only a complete release of his military records will show what actually happened during this period. And, to date John Kerry has refused to sign the necessary DOD form 180 which would allow for this release. If the Democratic Party, the media, and the Bush critics are going to demand, as they do on almost a daily basis, that George Bush release all of his records, should they not do the same for John Kerry?

But if they were hell bent on electing John Kerry for President like CBS for example, then SURE we'd be interested in taking an offer to discuss the flick afterwards!

What pathetic twits Kerry and his crew truly are....
