Were you aware that Bush is SLAMMING Kerry?

[underpants]

I heard this first thing Saturday morning on CNN-Fredricka Whitfield said that ~"Fresh off his latest debate performance President Bush is SLAMMING John Kerry on....." Emphasis not added.

This morning dear Katie Couric said it twice within 5 minutes as she set up the Carville W spokesman yelling match.

So I decided to google -Bush slams Kerry- and found this (some are subscription required so check it out for yourself)

1. So, according to the media

Next time someone makes me look like a complete ass, and I come back with a stumbling, butchered line that is completely irrelvant and off topic, I can consider myself as having "slammed" them?

[underpants]

17. Yes

wait until the other guy leaves the room (or run away as W did Friday night) and then surround yourself with admirers and declare victory.

[livinbella]

26. Did bush also lay the smackdown on him?

will bush say 'you ran but you could not hide, let's get ready to rumble!'?

[Syncronaut Seven]

31. Smells like cowardice to me.

I'm so deeply ashamed that we let this clown in the back door. God forgive us.

[russian33]

2. I heard that Bush 'blistered' Kerry, but now he also slammed him?

He is so multi-talented!

[bloom]

3. No - I must have missed that...

:eyes: :crazy: :eyes:

[sniffa]

4. SLAM! duh, doo doo, duh, doo doo LET THE BOYZ BE BOYZ

i'm a b-boy

11. Yes I think it is directed at the Wrasslin' crowd

or the "Gee W sure is manly and therefore if I vote for him I too will be manly" crowd.

[MikeG]

5. How come none of this SLAMMING happens in a debate?

[Stephanie]

6. Who has the 1-800-KKK-KARL phone line?

Remember when Dole said that he hadn't dialed 800 number for his talking points. We need this number.

[gottaB]

7. I did not know that

I knew Bush was "SLIMING" Kerry

Maybe it was "typo"

[wtmusic]

8. Katie Whoric likes the mental imagery of getting 'slammed' n/t

[Fovea]

9. Uncka Karl sez

I pay to enrich your word power.

[irancontra]

10. good job... I noticed that too

"uhh.. they beat Kerry over the head with it(nuisance)"

you know it really doesn't surprise me anymore when I talk to bush-voters & find them braindead.. I for one am praying for November 3rd when all the presstitutes have to choke on the words "JOHN KERRY is the next president of the USA." aaaah sweet victory is at hand/.

[underpants]

13. ON a related note check out the top right of this page

The story summaries under-MORE SPECIAL REPORT W/ BRIT HUME

You don't even have to read them to get the spin stains on your mind.

[RobertSeattle]

12. Should send this to DailyHowler or MediaMatters.org

Or I'll slam you! :evilgrin:

[underpants]

16. Done

Thanks for the idea.

[yellowcanine]

14. Slamming is illegal when long distance providers do it. Someone inform

the FCC regarding the report of Bush slamming. I wouldn't want Bush to be my long distance provider.

[kaitykaity]

15. He can "slam" all he wants.

Bush should be touting his own record instead of trying
to destroy his opponent.

That tells me all I need to know.

[Shadow30]

18. Sure he slams Kerry...

...as long as Kerry isn't actually there.Let him come at Kerry tomorrow with more zeal it was a bomb on friday and he'll tank even worse this time.Bush is just so fucking stupid,this idiot doesn't deserve a damn mop pushing job much less to have his finger on the button.

[underpants]

20. Welcome to DU Shadow30

:hi:

The analogy was made here a week or so ago of a kid saying "Well I was gonna beat that guy up..." "..if he was still here...."after the guy had left. It's about the same.

[Shadow30]

22. Thanks for the welcome

exactly,Bush only seems to be this tough guy when he doesn't have anyone around him to question anything he says.Anyone can be the champ in the track race if there the only one running!

[kcwayne]

19. Bush's major in college was slamming brewski's

so he's a real expert at slamming.

[lukasahero]

21. Sounds like that's going to backfire, too

since Shrub is being ripped to shreds about being "too angry". Let them say what they want - the public now knows he's angry and his "slamming" is just more fuel on the fire.

It is, however, a remarkable testament to the RW talking points...

[tom_paine]

23. Anybody who says we have an Independant Media in Imperial Amerika

That person is a blad-faced liar.

What we have is new and grotesque, Orwell on acid, yet functionally it is identical to Soviet Pravda, the Nazi News Media or the Chinese Communist Media.

The coercion tactics needed to get us there are not nearly s ham-fisted because Imperial Subjects just roll right over and give it up.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

24. They're uncreative lemmings, and they don't know

how to express an original thought anymore.

[gumby]

25. Amazing find

You should send this to Media Matters http://mediamatters.org/ and The Daily Howler http://www.dailyhowler.com

(I see you have already done this. Good.)

[BootinUp]

27. He who slams last slams best.

On Nov 2 there's gonna be some major slammin'. :)

[underpants]

30. To be fair-Kerry was said to be SLAMMING Bush a few weeks ago

Like I said google Bush slams Kerry

then hit the News tab and go to page 10 (there are lots of them) seems that it isn't the horserace that Mathews says it is ....it's a wrasslin' match.

:eyes: The dumbing down of 'Murka is almost complete.

[PurityOfEssence]

28. Bush SLAMS the door as he leaves the White House in a huff.

This loser will be a prick to the very end.

[liberal N proud]

29. He has no record to run on him self so he has to make Kerry look

evil.
Article about the Anger factor in the bush campaing from the Guradian
The madness of George
The evolution of George Bush's persona over the past few weeks is startling for even the most casual observers. Only a short while ago, Bush was a strong, decisive leader and Kerry was a weak, flip-flopping Massachusetts liberal. The Bush campaign expected those images to carry them through the November elections...

...Bush's political operators have worked overtime to make "angry" a pejorative term this political cycle. They wielded the "too angry" attack against Howard Dean in the primaries, when it seemed Dean would be the Democratic nominee, and it helped destroy Dean's candidacy. Republicans again shouted "too angry" to discredit Al Gore's series of impassioned anti-Bush speeches earlier this year.

The "too angry" claims successfully marginalised the content of those speeches - blistering indictments of an incompetent administration...
...After his first debate performance, Bush was in a quandary. He had to stem his erosion in the polls, but to do so would require attacking Kerry and furthering the perception that he was too angry to be president.

So how did he respond? By getting even more angry. He not only viciously attacked Kerry but also took out the moderator and several questioners in the process. Someone, somewhere, labelled Bush Furious George - a clever turn on HA Rey's Curious George children's books and an appellation that took firm hold in the online and, increasingly, offline worlds...
