The Media/GOP Complicity won't stop unless... |
|
We're all sitting around DU thinking the same exactly thing: "This can't be. The media is actually, with faces as straight as the highway from waco to crawford, acting like there is the slightest fucking comparison between Chimp's and Kerry's approaches to the war in Viet Nam."
Welp, folks, have you noticed what our bright and beautiful Dem surrogates on the tube are doing? They're acting like there is the slightest fucking comparison between Chimp's and Kerry's approaches to the war in Viet Nam. Sure, they're defending Kerry, but THEY'RE NOT STOPPING THE MADNESS.
Granted, I don't have to worry about being Paula or Tweety inviting me back on their shows reaffirm my ego and line my wallet, but I don't understand for the life of me why someone doesn't say,"You know, (insert whore here), John Kerry wrote a letter volunteering for Viet Nam and became a hero. George bush checked the "I do not volunteer for overseas duty" box and may or may not have gone to the dentist in Alabama. I don't know who's more pathetic and shameless Ed Gillespe for actually comparing the two, or you for helping him. I'll talk about any real issue facing the american people today, but I'm not going to dignify you're kissing the GOP ass with comment."
Note how nobody has invited Clark to talk about this on air? They know he'll hand them their pathetic asses. Until they say something like the above on air, it'll just keep going and going and going.

5. My, this sounds like doom and gloom---everything is going |
|
swimmingly for us, dear. Correct?? We must wait and be patient, little lotus blossom. Soon, Big John, will come forth and we will slay the enemy. OR, we could start bitching the hell to the DNC and the Kerry campaign!! You pick.

6. I agree with your point entirely |
|
The Democratic "spokespeople" are the biggest bunch of mealy mouth wimps out there. Dean and Clark are the exceptions, but they don't get enough air time. Lieberman is a friggin' disaster.
Kerry needs a cohesive (and coherent) media strategy. Every Democrat who speaks to the press out to have a standard answer to any question that attempts to belittle Kerry's service in any way or that ignores Vacationboy's AWOL.
I would start my response, like at the Army/McCarthy hearings: "(Media whore name here) have you no sense of decency and duty to country left?" Then add your comments.
