[Atman]

BE AFRAID, AMERICA! RUN SCARED INTO THE STREETS! THE EVIL DOERS ARE COMING!

1. Having it on top of the Kerry/Edwards campaign news makes it

even more obvious that it is baloney.
I know the banner shows on all their pages, but this is really pointed.

[tekriter]

2. AHHHHH!!! My hair's on fire!!!

Save us, President-for-Life Bush!!

[xocolatl]

3. I don't see it....

OK, now I do (was looking for it on CNN's website.)

[Dying Eagle]

4. I guess

they needed something to take the press away from Edwards. These assholes have no shame. I am convinced that this will backfire. The American have heard "WOLF" from the crying Shrub to many times now.

[Khephra]

A lot of people think this alert is to knock Edwards out of the news

I think it's worse than that--they're trying to stop the roll-back of the Patriot Act that's moving forward in Congress.

7. your are probably right.....they do maniplulate by fear

[Solly Mack]

9. I can see that

[2Design]

5. this is just to block kerry Edwards opening days...

normally bs for crowd control...they let it happen....nothing to worry about..

[Solly Mack]

6. What to wear. What to wear.

Must check my closets.

[Wind Dancer]

11. LOL!

The desperation is so obvious. I just heard the terrorists are trying to sway the elections, does it ever end?

terra, terra, terra, terra

Orwell in full swing.

[Solly Mack]

19. Naturally. When Shrub loses, it's because people gave in to terrorism

doncha know? It's not him...it's us. wheeeeeeeee....down the rabbit - hole I go.

I'm thinking of something in shocking pink for todays events, btw.

8. pathetic FAUX light network

:puke:

[Media_Lies_Daily]

10. Not there anymore. Maybe even CNN has figured it out.

[Atman]

LOL! Maybe they monitor DU!

"Oops...busted! Take it down, Web-boy!"

[Caution]

12. no conspiracy here. CNN uses the red banner for any and all breaking news

If Homeland Security announces a terror alert this is breaking news. Any news agency would be remiss not to post it. Is is a BS ploy by the admin to draw attention away from the Kerry campaign? I would say 100% yes, but it would be irresponsible not to report it as breaking news by a news agency.

13. I don't see it, but I found something scarier

15. This is Just Great

Now no one believes in terror alerts. Just another political ploy to get attention away from something else.

This is pathetic!

Did you know you can buy pink duct tape?

[murielm99]

16. Dang! You're right!

Police Academy is really scary!

[young_at_heart]

14. Spread the fear........run....... hide...... forget the election!

Republicans used to be decent people........what has happened to them?

[napi21]

17. Scare must be OVER! Red banner is gone!

I just went there to DU the poll, and there's no red banner, so I guess shrub must have solved it already!

[treepig]

18. and it couldn't come at a worse time

my supplies of duct tape are dangerously low, egad!

fortunately, i still have several rolls of duck tape, suppose that'll have to do for now.

[redqueen]

20. It's already gone!

lol... must've realized how stupid it looked, considering our fearless leaders aren't even bothering to raise the threat level.

[PopSixSquish]

21. The Only Red Alert is the One Going on in Karl Rove's Office

at the moment.

"But the NY Post told us Kerry was going to pick Gep."

This has really scrambled their plans. The Bush campaign will now have to defend a lot more states than they first thought.
