VANITY REPORT--NOT VERBATIM.
Laura Ingraham just had a caller on her show from Colorado who said the local news is reporting people in the Fort Carson area in Colorado are receiving phone calls purportedly from the Kerry campaign with the worst sort of scare tactic.
The woman said the phone call begins with an ID saying the call is from the Kerry campaign. Next, the voice says, "Your son has been killed in Iraq." After a pause, the voice says that if President Bush is re-elected more families will be getting these calls.
Laura asked listeners out there try to get a recording of the phone call from the local news.

Anyone get one of these calls, or know someone who has?

I find this hard to believe.
If true, it will greatly damage Kerry nationally.
We need to track this down.

If I had a son serving in Iraq and I received a call such as this -- so insensitive and uncaring! -- I would definitely vote against the campaign making these calls. Will these desperate evildoers stop at nothing to get what they want? Is nothing too much for them??

What the hell is wrong with these people?
How could anyone intentionally say that to a parent?
This will surely backfire.

I also find this hard to believe or that anyone in the Kerry campaign would authorize it; this rises to an actionable legal case based on intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Can't believe the Kerry campaign would be this dumb, but you never know. Hope someone gets a recording. It will backfire big time.

Kerry must be getting campaign advise from BIll and Hillary if this is really true.
To: kristinn
I doubt this is true. It sounds like this caller heard something from a friend who heard something from a neighbor...

This is over the line if true and something needs to done about it.

this rises to an actionable legal case based on intentional infliction of emotional distress But rules and standards of decency don't apply to the rats - they believe rules are to be interpreted only to their benefit.

Can't believe the Kerry campaign would be this dumb, but you never know.They have shown an amazing capacity for abject stupidity - but I'll wait for a recording or for extensive corroboration before I bite on this one.
