Democratic operatives planned, engineered Wellstone political rally

Capitol Hill Blue is very reliable.

I think that Jesse Ventura, being a social liberal, is an interesting indicator of how it will affect swing voters across the country. Now, with Mondale looking bad in interviews and backing out of a debate, they might not even win Minnesota. The GOP knows what kind of men Cheney and Lott are. That slap on two men who normally treat the DNC with sportsmanlike respect was a big mistake. Cheney's flight to Minnesota speaks loudly, clearly, and dramatically. FReegards....

I have also heard, as of yesterday, that the camera angles were known to have been planned beforehand. I am not sure, but I believe my source had heard Ventura on a local talk show.

I think this may be rather common knowledge in Minneapolis-St Paul.

If the BBC clips were any indication, someone slipped some PCP into the Boy Wellstone's mineral water.

Does this face give you solace?

The Rats here are frustrated. Disarming Americans is way behind schedule. They are embarassed to admit how much difficulty they are having with their assignment. Until the US is disarmed, there is no point in arresting conservatives with blatantly trumped up charges across the world. Wrap me in tinfoil, but it sure seems that way.

Contrast that picture with this one:

Just looking at the photo pics shown somwhere in posts 1-50, it looks as though Tipper is filled with anger about something. Gore looks stoned. Clinton and the Reverend Jackson standing together both look apprehensive. Hellery appears to be the mastermind, by her body language. It sure fits her brazen, bold stroke way of thinking.

The music, the handling of the event, that was not "impromptu". It had a slickness to it that looked well prepared.

Yeah.... just like the Democratic National Convention. All that was missing was the balloon drop!

IN 5 DAYS, THEY'LL BE VOTING DEMOCRAT

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY TO HELP TAKE BACK THE SENATE?

"This is war," one operative said. "The Republicans are too busy planning war on Iraq. They won't even see us coming."

Rest assured, no Republican National Committee assets are being used to plan or execute the war on Terrorists, including the upcoming exercise in the desert.!

[LaGrone]

The Dems-Truly the party of the devil.

[rintense]

To Carville:

Shut up, inchy.

[ladyinred]

"This is war," one operative said. "The Republicans are too busy planning war on Iraq. They won't even see us coming."

This statement alone should make them lose every election on Tuesday. The absolute dismissing of the real danger of terrorism in this country and turning into a power play for them is beyond reprehensible. Thank God Cheney wasn't there and a part of this spectacle that they are evidently proud of.

And by the way idiot, we saw you coming a mile away.

The Wellstone Eulogy...written by Bob Shrum on the the Acela Express from Boston

[spycatcher]

See the above link. FReepers were given a heads up before the jamboree took place that the top Dems were involved and planned to go with hardball politics instead of grieving

[twyn1]

I don't doubt the Dems were involved, to the hilt -- there's no way the Wellstone "boys" could have carried this off so smoothly (securing the venue, setting up the security, cameras & press stuff, inviting & "dis-inviting the politicos, etc.) -- I'm just skeptical about the "unnamed" source, why would someone who was privy to this "inside" planning suddenly come forward to spill the beans ?

Nah, I've seen pictures of Hillary taken in the daytime. But just to be safe, maybe we should all carry a bit of garlic when we're going to be near them.

A mole, or more likely, someone who sees their employment simply as a job. There's honest people in this country, even if they do have to work with crooks to get a paycheck. Capital Hill Blue is usually right.

I hate RATs.
