I'm the first one to vote on it, but there can never be too many 1 votes for this bilge:
A Kerry Endorsement

1 hour, 21 minutes ago

Ibd

Election '04: Last week's release of the Osama bin Laden (news - web sites) tape provided some startling insight into the Kerry-Edwards campaign. What we saw is a disgrace.

Itching to make political hay, the Democracy Corps, which works side by side with Kerry-Edwards, took a poll to learn what the Democrats should say about bin Laden's comments.

Why this was even necessary is beyond us. We can only surmise that this is the sort of Clintonesque, finger-in-the-wind leadership that a Kerry presidency would provide. Which is to say, no leadership at all.

But what else can we say about bin Laden's man in this election? That's right: Kerry is bin Laden's choice. No, the mass murderer didn't come right out and endorse the Massachusetts senator. But there's little doubt how he leans.

Then tell me all you know about Investor's Business Daily and whether they've always been the NY Post with slightly bigger words.

7. I wonder what will happen if I go to GOP.com and search "Democracy Corps"
Edited on Mon Nov-01-04 09:02 PM by undisclosedlocation
The suspense is killing me. (Answer on edit)

Edit: Incredibly, they don't mention this poll on the site. I'd have to register as a team leader to get their actual talking points (one of which this certainly is) and don't feel up for that degree of self-disgust, even in a good cause.

15. Great moments in the history of "new media":
To: Capitalism2003
I addition to giving it a 5 rating, Yahoo News also looks at how many times the article is PRINTED and EMAILED.

So email it to yourself if you have to but EMAIL the Heck out of it. (my company uses this tactic whenever we appear in the news, management sends a global email out to all employees and we all go to work hammering the story) In late January we ran a story all the way up to #1.

1) Rate it!
2) Print it!
3) ... 99) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEmail it!!!

Now stop lollygagging and go do!!!

dung.

17. Oh sure and Shrub speaks
completely off the cuff. He couldn't say his name without a prompter. Shrub had this for 12 hours before he could memorize what to say.

19. I'm open to suggestions as to how to get them to take it down
It's obviously RNC talking points that IBD just printed in toto. I see in FR that I'm against free speech; why not live up to the reputation?

22. Its current average rating is 2.64 with 1221 vote(s).
the guy that runs IBD is a die-hard republican asshole.

I read his book on how to buy stocks. It's a good book for that, but he can't resist throwing in comments like "we should be drilling for oil in that vast wasteland that's Alaska"
