It looks lilke Kerry lucked out BIG TIME.

When the totally phoney-baloney 'missing weapons' story came out,,,,Kerry made some political gains for a few days. Then as the story was being analyzed and being shown to be TOTALLY BOGUS--the Bin Laden video comes out--just as the Kerry campaign has decided that they have gotten as much mileage out of the BOGUS story as they could anyway.

The video has taken the phoney 'missing weapons' story off the front page--BEFORE it started back-firing on Kerry. It looks like he lucked out BIG TIME!

It's now 'yesterday's news'--just look at how much the discussion on the topic has dried up on FreeRepublic. After the Pentagon briefing today,,,,the phoney weapons story should get top billing--and it's not even close.

The airing of a tape of Osama bin Laden capped a week of bad news for President Bush that threatened to derail his candidacy in the final days of the presidential election.

What planet are they on?

[Shortstop7]

Wouldn't Condi against Hillary be fun to watch?

[RecallMoran]

Find "The Vision of the Annointed" by Thomas Sowell (I may not have spelled everything right) But he gives an excellent history of how this extreme/socialist/anti-religious establishment got started in America. It, at least, gives you a point of reference for the beginnings of this movement and it's goals. The movement has to destroy the family, nationalism/patriotism, social mores and ties, and religion to achieve it's goals. Everything we see out of the MSM who have styled themselves as the intelligencia and conscience of the nation corresponds to the philosophy of the worldwide socialists as described by Sowell. Interesting.

COULD THEY BE ANY MORE TRANSPARENT?

COULD THEY BE ANY MORE TRANSPARENT?The poll on the CBS sight says the OBL video hurts Bush. Am I blind or just too far gone?

[RecallMoran]

In 1968 I was 5 years old and I remember my dad telling my sister's long haired hippy freak war protesting boyfriend: "Just because CBS and the Washington Post say it's true, doesn't make it so. They are as communist as the soviets. Try to understand that they have an agenda and question why they are saying what they are saying."

The boyfriend is now her husband of 35 years and hates Kerry for abusing the returning vets even if the war was wrong. Maybe he listened.

The polls results are DU types and those that still go to CBS for news. 100% idiot

This is from scrappleface.com, right. I can see the cBS story on Wednesday. "Mr. Bush's problems seem to mount. After winning only 308 electoral votes, and 52% of the popular votes, he'll start January with no real mandate."

And late this afternoon, a tape of bin Laden airing nationwide

That thing on oSama's head looks an awful lot like my Christmas tree stand. It better be back in my attic by Dec 1st!

[feedback doctor]

The fact that Osama aired a tape where he declares Bush a threat to terrorists is good news

Saw one commentator suggesting that people will see this as oSama trying to affect the election, and those people who see that, will also see that he is probably doing the video tape thing because he doesn't have the capability to do something big. And people who realize that will realize why he can't do the big thing.

[texasmountainman]

This story was probably written last weekend with a last minute addtion of the part about of the Usama tape.

I'm sure they had high hopes for their "ambush" this week with the explosives story, which blew up in their own faces.

[hershey]

Typical CBS baloney. You have to wonder what they're drinking over there. By the way, how are they holding up over in DUmmie underground? Probably they think the CIA has bin Laden holed up in a Motel 6 outside DC, and that the tape is the precourser to GW's parading him in chains down Pennsylvania Ave. Sunday afternoon.

What I wish upon these traitors is not at all very Christian......or is it?

Look at history, God's worst judgement is usually letting people have what they want. Israel wanted to go after false gods, and they wound up in Babylon, in slavery.

[snooker]

see-BS has got the butt monkey really bad.

[feedback doctor]

Nothing from CBS should surprise us anymore. How I positively hate those people.

I would not be suprised to see them do an actual endorsment of kErry.

[Clinging Bitterly]

It's as though bin Laden is running his very own 527, and, like Soros, is shilling for Kerry.

Why do you suppose he wants Kerry to win?

(Anyone?)

[Clinging Bitterly]

I suppose it's because terrorism is cheap news for them, news they don't have to make up.

For some reason I did click the link at the top of the thread and looked over a few of DNCBS's stories. Talk of things tightening, trending for Kerry, all of that.

The fact is, throughout the past month there have been only a couple of national polls that put Kerry ahead (though still inside the margin for error), there has been only one, ever, that put him at 50%, and of the current national polls, he leads none of them.

Nobody knows for sure, but nobody ever does. The polls sample sometimes around 1000, though often fewer, "likely voters" among those who answer the phone out of the whole country. Their model of America doesn't account for a lot of things going on these days that can skew that. At our house, we use call blocking and caller ID - we block unidentified calls and we don't answer calls from numbers we don't recognize. That's just one example of the complication of attitudes and technologies that tend to dilute the value of polls - they are becoming more "self selecting" every day, whether we like it or not (and I don't really care).

Like the whores that they are, they will do what they must to sell their services, and just as they vet, weigh, and select the responders to obtain the result they think they should be getting, on November 3 (or whenever it's all settled) they'll hold up their best work of the year in front of the the media and political consultant industries to sell their useless product for yet another political season.

Bad week for Bush my ass.

Media Research Center:
Dan Ra^ther on Bill Clinton:
"I think he’s an honest man."

   O’Reilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clinton’s an honest man?"
    Ra^ther: "Yes, I think he’s an honest man."
    O’Reilly: "Do you, really?"
    Ra^ther: "I do."
    O’Reilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrer’s face about the Lewinsky case?"
    Ra^ther: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
    O’Reilly: "Well, I didn’t lie to anybody’s face on national television. I don’t think you have, have you?"
    Ra^ther: "I don’t think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, it’s one thing-"
    O’Reilly, jumping in: "How can you say he’s an honest guy then?"
    Ra^ther: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core he’s an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
    O’Reilly: "Really?!?"
    Ra^ther: "Yeah, I do."
    O’Reilly: "See, I can’t. I want my government to be honest across-the-board. I don’t want people lying."
