OH, my. How they just refuse to report on Boehner and his blame the generals
statement. Proof that the media carries water for the Republicans. Kerry apologizes and they still want to lead and repeat the Kerry story. It's like the Terri Shiavo stuff all over again. Just report and report on what the RW wants. It is so amazing how this is done and how the sheeple fall for it.
Democratic candidates are falling for it too.

1. How about DU'ers stop the Kerry nonsense and FOCUS on this? It's pathetic
that DU'ers react almost every time to the Mediawhores rather than try and change the issue.

2. Remember, though
the Shiave stuff did backfire on them. This will also.

13. Yes.
My moderately conservative brother recognized the deception in the GOP media crying FOUL over Kerry's alledged offense.

I think the public is on to Rove and company.

5. He's the GOP House Leader, it's easy enough to say his title.

4. CNN's web page has it
maybe it needs to percolate. They didn't light into Sen. Kerry until the next day, after the buzz on the ground

6. they didn't light into Kerry until the talkingpoints came out and the mediawhores
go their marching orders. This is why DU frustrates me sometimes.

DU'ers passively wait to see what the Mediawhores will do and then react to them rather than forcing an issue like Boehner.

7. Email this to everyone you know....
Call or write all the progressive talk shows and demand that they hammer this one. Call conservative talk shows and bring it up. FIGHT BACK dammit! This is a hell of a lot worse than anything Kerry said or didn't say. Besides Boner is running for office, Eerry isn't.

8. Bottom line, at least for me, with the corporate media is this:
IOKIYAR = It's OK if you're a Republican.

Maybe, just maybe, this story will be picked up by the corporate media sometime today, but I highly doubt it. Boehner's comment definitely will not be mentioned in KKKarl's faxes to the powers that be in the CM.
