RNC Response to DNC Chairman Howard Dean's False Assertion on the 'Today Show'


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- "Howard Dean can engage in all the Clintonian word games he wants, but the bottom line is Democrats have been on the receiving end of Abramoff affiliated money," said Tracey Schmitt, Republican National Committee press secretary. "Efforts by Abramoff Democrats to indicate otherwise only reminds Americans that their minority party is overtly hypocritical and will stop at nothing to score cheap political points. Our country expects its leaders to speak the truth, rather than engage in a partisan blame game when it behooves them politically."

1. "Affiliated" isn't money FROM Abramoff

they are sooooooooooo good at lying.

[Nutmegger]

3. Exactly

The thing is people won't bother to seek this out for themselves to they'll just assume that the Dems took loads of cash from Abramoff directly.

[Avalux]

2. "Abramoff Democrats"?

Bwaaahaahaa! They are such weasels! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[meegbear]

4. Too bad the links don't help ...

www.try.com (they fucked up the links), brings you to the front page of Political Money Line, but they don't tell you where it is.

FUCK YOU RNC!

[underpants]

8. LOL

[bush_is_wacko]

12. Heck, I can't even get there. I get a "cannot detect network settings"

:shrug:

5. Dean's assertions were not false. Your title is mis-leading.

Secondly this stupid little RNC twat still hasn't figured out the Abramoff Scandal For Dummies schematic. No Democrat DIRECTLY received funds from Abramoff. Period. Folks that hired Abramoff may have given money to Democrats, but NOT because they were instructed to by Abramoff.

This needs to be shouted out loud and long for all of the idiots out there to hear. It is the REPUBLICAN spin machine that is desperate to smear the Dems with the same Abramoff stink that infects them from head to toe...

F**king liars!!! :grr:

[LSparkle]

13. ABSODAMNLUTELY! Repugs like their public dumb, all right

Don't fund schools -- just stick 'em in front of Faux News and keep 'em dumb (and willing to swallow (hahahaha) lies hook, line and sinker).

6. Rocknation Responds to RNC's False Assertions About Howard Dean

[WI_DEM]

7. The Media will try and make this a bi-partisan scandal when it isn't

Fuck the RNC.

[underpants]

10. "But the RNC has said....."

that is your MSM lead in for the SECOND part of the report.

Sorry MSM we are going to need a credible source.

[bleedingheart]

9. It's like calling someone a fundy because they once bought Dominoes pizza

what a freaking bunch of lying loons...

[sundancekid]

11. RNC accusing Dean of Clintonian? RNC is just looking in its own mirror!

so many pants on fire, so little time

[dchill]

14. "Abramoff affiliated" =

"untrue un-truthiness"

[Cassandra]

15. They are getting shrill, aren't they?

And an "Abramoff Democrat" is worse than an Abramoff Republican, why? And of course, there is no such beast as an Abramoff Democrat.

[NYCGirl]

17. Abramoff Democrats are sort of like unicorns. Some people have claimed

to have seen them, but they don't really exist.

[Debi]

16. WTF??? Have the ALL gone batshit crazy?

I mean getting money from somebody who knew somebody who knew somebody equals getting money from the first person? Man, they must be getting dizzy from all the spinning!

Ambraoff Dems? :puke:

What was it Abramoff said about Democrats again???

It is not our job to seek peaceful coexistence with the Left. Our job is to remove them from power permanently."
- Jack A. Abramoff

[Dr. Death]

18. The spokesman managed to mention Clinton in the 8th word

of her statement - she'll get points from her bosses for that!

[underpants]

20. Abrahamoff Democrats

I don't like it but it is crafty or grippy as some people say

[stopbush]

19. Here's what Dean and others should say to the Courics:

"Let me ask you something, Katie. If NBC donated to the Democratic Party, would that mean that YOU had donated to the Democratic Party? What if YOU gave a private donation to the Republican Party? Would that mean that NBC had given a donation to the RNC? I ask because you and NBC are "affiliated." That's the spin the RNC is attempting to put on their Abramoff scandal. I think the average American can understand exactly what the RNC is trying to do by casting their net beyond what's reasonable to hopefully rope in what they're calling "affiliated people" to bolster their lame argument. Next thing you know they'll be blaming rank-and-file Enron employees for THAT disaster because those employees were "affiliated" with Enron."

[Debi]

21. You should email that to the DNC

Just to get them thinking! :think:

[in_cog_ni_to]

22. They LNOW they own this scandal! It's ALL theirs and

they can't lie their way out of it! It's all on paper and the internet(s).
