DU'ers Getting Played For Fools By Rove Once Again.

[KittyWampus]

rather than talking about the Minnesota tape of the explosives... or any of the many other damaging stories out against Bush this week...

DU'ers are once again littering DU with threads about a topic with NO RELEVANCE except for the fact that Rove/Bush WANTS the attention switched from them.

A couple of threads would make sense but practically EVERY THREAD?

McCain as Vice-President or Cheney's Lesbian Daughter...

DU'ers fall for this shit EVERY TIME.

1. I agree with this post

[kpete]

13. triple agree

Kerry and his team will know what to do. Minds are pretty much made up. We need to keep our spirits up and continue to believe. This will not help Bush. Only his true believers will follow. Let them spin all they want. OSAMA IS STILL ALIVE!!!

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Not me.

This has "dog 'n pony show" written all over it.

[sundog]

3. yup.. playing right into it

[Lex]

4. The board moves fast.

Just like the news cycle.

Keep up or you'll get left behind.

[Jack_Dawson]

5. I don't think Rove issued the tape

That said, the tape doesn't help Bush to say the least

[SeveneightyWhoa]

6. Dude. It's been like 2 hours.

These things happen when new information comes out.

And you're pretty hilarious if you think Rove put these videos out so he could distract DU'ers. Don't worry, most DU'ers are voting for Kerry anyway. I think the world is larger than DU.

[KittyWampus]

10. It Distracts News Media AND DU. They Are Not Mutually Exclusive

[mike_c]

7. MARY CHENEY FOR VP-- WTF?!

Very. Good. Point. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain....

[The Wielding Truth]

8. So you think OBL is a pon of Bush to use when he wants?

[Melinda]

9. The majority of these type posts are NOT by DUers.

And the MAJORITY of us see right through it - not the other way around.

[senseandsensibility]

11. Resist Rove!!

Help to spread threads like this one. Ignore the freeper threads.

[kaitykaity]

12. Yeah, it's real smart not to talk about what's going

on out in the world.

If we're talking about it, you can damn well better
bet a lot of other people are talking about it, and
we damn well better figure out the best way to deal
with that.

Lecturing us about being reactionary is nonproductive.

[Mr_Spock]

17. Being reactionary is childish - why so many threads on the same topic?

I can't "hide thread" fast enough - bunch of whining worry-bots.

[kaitykaity]

20. Too bad "Hide Thread" isn't working right now.

I have my own issues about why people have to start
their own threads on stuff, but that's the way that
it is. I rememeber Zogby came out with a bad number
for Kerry and I ended up hiding like 20 threads in
20 minutes.

[bobbyboucher]

14. Huh?

So it's Rove's Osama tape is it? Rove is trickier than even I thought.

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. Some do and some don't

:silly:

[DancingBear]

16. I think most of us are smart enough to figure it out

It's a news story, we're commenting on it, when we feel we've explored it enough we'll be back to our chosen field of endeavor - kicking The Boy King out. We ain't fallin' fer nuthin'. :)

BTW, this may have a shorter shelf life then we first thought. Several networks are back on to the explosives story.

[Iris]

18. huh?

I haven't even noticed these threads over the past few days!!???!!

[KittyWampus]

19. For Some Reason, Your Post Has Me Truely Laughing Out Loud!

:D

[Iris]

well, I have to admit,

I'm clueless right now. But, then, I've only been looking for and at threads that help me hang on to the last few days of absolute hope that this admin. will be history by this time next week.

[gcomeau]

21. If anything, we should be TYING the explosives story...

...to Osama still being on the loose and in good health.

What happens if those explosives this administration didn't secure properly ended up in the control of the terrorist this administration didn't pursue properly? That is the question we should be asking the media.

[earthside]

22. Oh, yeah ignore the tape ...

Please. What so you think, if you ignore the Osama tape it will just go away?

Whether you like it or not the bin Laden tape is big news ... especially big political news.

Now, let's work this over and think about it and debate what it means. Then you'll be ready to speak up and tell the truth about all this signifies --- Another Bush Mission UNaccomplished!

Actually, this tape dovetails nicely with all that Kerry has been saying. See, after letting Osama escape at Tora Bora, here he is still threatening us-Bush failed.

After distracting our forces from the real war on terror to Iraq, Osama live still to threaten us-Bush failed.

After neglecting to secure 800 tons of high explosives after the invasion of Iraq, the terrorists and bin Laden have plenty of deadly ammunition to use against us-Bush failed.

It is time to elect a leader that is finally going to get serious about bringing bin Laden and al Qaida to justice, that means voting for John Kerry.

The Osama tape is another opportunity to tell the truth about what a screw-up Bush has been and why we need a new commander-in-chief.

26. Who Said IGNORE?

[Rambis]

23. The American people will be duped!

In my opinion people are not smart enough to realize it is a rovian trick and the sheeple will run to bush for comfort against the terrorists. "Don't change horses in the middle of a war" I have heard this for months from the repugs. I am not saying it is right,just, or fair. They will have the urge to run for cover with Bush and that outweighs the fact bush didn't get him. The worst part is Kerry can't attack Bush about it because he will look "unpatriotic" by not supporting the Prez. October surprise!

[patricia92243]

24. Just hide the ones you don't care to read. I WANT to talk about Bin Ladde

It gives me comfort to share my thoughts with other DU'ers snd here their feelings, and I'm sure other people feel the same. The tapes scare me, and I want to share with my DU family.

[KittyWampus]

25. At This Point It's Like "Whack A Mole"

[sofa king]

27. What Minnesota tape of the explosives? (nevermind)

Inform me, please. I don't know what this is.

Edit: I didn't know it was a MN film crew which had filmed the bunkers. I got a girl whose heart is in Minneapolis, so I tend to get a little jumpy when I hear the two things put together.
