MSNBC commercial: Who's BEHIND the swiftboating of Murtha,

[babylonsister]

Kerry, and McCain?
Okay, so it's on Tweety tonight, but the answers, if accurate, could be interesting!

[FreedomAngel82]

1. So why are they doing this segment?

:shrug:

[rodeodance]

5. even tweety birds have hearts.

[BuyingThyme]

2. Is MSNBC really using "swiftboating" in that context?

[babylonsister]

4. From what I heard, yes. They have

apparently 'seen the light' :eyes: and realize how bogus it was.

[BuyingThyme]

8. Man, that's quite a development in my world.

The word was pretty much coined for their kind ("swiftboating").

[blm]

17. Shouldn't they have done this AFTER McCain? AFTER Cleland? DURING 2004?

.

[rodeodance]

3. I hope Tweety does not swiftboat his show and honestly tries to get

some answers!

[EstimatedProphet]

7. Tweety will probably claim it's Clinton

[babylonsister]

9. Murtha, Kerry, and McCain were mentioned. It's

pretty evident they were all 'swiftboated'. It'd be like a breath of fresh air if they got to the bottom of it, even though that should have been done 18 months ago. :eyes:

6. It was Brent Bozell and his CNS News. And I use the term "news" loosely.

:evilgrin:

If there's any WH connection, I hope they uncover it.

[Bandit]

15. Brent Bosell is a real war hero all right....

Just like most Republicans he never served but is the very first to knock those that did...

10. The answer is in Editorials..link

Cybercast News Service is run by David Thibault, who formerly worked as the senior producer for "Rising Tide," the televised weekly news magazine produced by the Republican National Committee. One of the authors of the Murtha article was Marc Morano, a long-time writer and producer for Rush Limbaugh.

This written by Reagan's Secretary of the Navy and a former Marine, himself. VERY good read.

[babylonsister]

11. Give me strength; he worked for Limbaugh?

Thanks for the link.

[frylock]

13. that turd, thibault, was on our local aar host's proggy this morning..

arguing with a lawyer who had called in over the definition of hearsay. He had his ass handed to him.

[UTUSN]

12. He's been doing nothing but trashing HRC, so let's see what he delivers

on this topic. Last week it was Hillary's pittance from ABRAMOFF, while Tweety minimized the Repuke harvests. Today on sL-IMUS it was the "plantation" word.

[KittyWampus]

16. Just to clarify, Hillary recieved NOTHING from Abramoff.

she did get some legal donations from Indian tribes and stupidly returned that money thereby making herself look "guilty" and simultaneously slapping the Tribe in the face.

[Bandit]

14. Just another way to give them free air time

Notice they are not talking about the Ads against Tom Delay. The ones that were pulled because they were (too controversial)...
