Poll question: Which loudmouth needs to learn the lesson: Nothing to Report
Edited on Sun Feb-15-04 08:08 AM by gottaB
Pretend for a moment that you are sitting atop a family fortune, and wish to protect your reputation against libelous statements by right wing sleaze mongers. Your attorneys are advising you to go for the deep pockets, but your political instincts tell you that there may be other worthy targets.

Deepest pockets? Loudest jerk? Most damaging jerk? Most celebrated jerk? Most morally bankrupt puppetmaster jerk?

Decisions, decisions....

6. He's the one who outed Plame, eh?
He's definitely deserving of a take down. Personally I'd rather see criminal charges filed in that case.

Pretend you're only modestly wealthy, I guess. Who do you really, really want to see get their comeuppance?

That is the way I feel it is around here sometimes.


I am not right wing at all ---I am actually way to the left of most here (and see Kerry as a right of center democrat).

But it seems on this Kerry story that people assume it is untrue (with no facts) and attack the messenger - me.

I think he is probably guilty based primarily on the fact that his first alleged denial on Imus was a subtle non-denial and the alleged "intern" from AP, Alex Polier, has not denied this story flatly and has refused comment.

I will reassess the story IF she denies it. Until then I am pretty convined he is guilty of lying to Theresa and to ALL of us and he is a scumbag.

8. "Make the bastard deny it"--huh?

There's some circuitous bit of juicy irony here, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

11. Tell ya what
I'll reassess the story IF she confirms it.

Until then, it's Matt Fudge's (Clinton black love child, anyone?) word against Kerry's. I think I'll lean toward Kerry.

10. Other: DU detractors
The anti-whoever-is-beating-my-candidate voice here on DU, that continues to quote said sources to take down the candidate who is taking down their candidate.

Okay - maybe not a worthy battle, but it DID need to be pointed out that there are some here who are no better, and at times much less impartial than the worst of the worst on your list.

12. It's a sad fact
Governor Bush's crowd has a superior understanding of how to play on the political sentiments of the left in order to achieve their desired results.

Be that as it may, they've crossed a line with this one, and should be made to pay dearly. Much more than a reputaion is at stake. They are undermining our political culture with their vicious disregard for the truth.

Sorry to say, but it has done major damage to the Dem online community.
