Are we going to fall into the CNN whores' trap?
Heard Bill Schneider and his pimp sidekick say that Dems are mad at Kerry cause he's not screaming about * like Al Gore. The pimp said yes, and Kerry's poll numbers are DROPPING (LOLOL) because of this!

FACT IS that Al Gore is a Kerry surrogate. Kerry needs to just let * self-destruct, and have his surrogates mop the floor with *'s blunders, while he rises above the fray and glows as the wonderful * alternative he is. Why should Kerry dirty himself when its not necessary? CNN whores want Kerry to do just that, cause it would deflect attention away from AWOL and onto Kerry.

2. The impossible standard.
When our candidate shows passion, he is called "crazy."

When our candidate shows calm reserve, he is called "stiff and boring."

Fuck CNN, fuck Bill Schneider, fuck Karl Rove. I didn't sign up for this.

3. Gore and Dean are great...
...they are saying things that they could not, would not, and did not say when actually running for President. Although to Dean's credit, he came close during the primaries. But now they took their gloves off, and are voicing sentiments MANY of us feel deeply. I don't like some of the "strategic" moves Kerry has made, but he's doing what he feels necessary to remove Bush from office, and that's my goal, and that's the goal of Dean and Gore. So fuck the media whores...

4. They are BEGGING for Kerry to go on a rant.
They are being maddened that other Dems are stepping forward. It was OK that Bush had tons of surrogates attacking Kerry without question. They didn't call for Bush to go after Kerry.

They want Kerry to step into that trap, so they can spin him into a maniacal demagogue. Well, he ain't taking their bait.

6. Exactly
Which is why I called Kerry's HQ. I know they're smart enough to see this, but I wanted to put in a call from the grassroots just so they know what crap this really is.

5. More lies and garbage from CNN
So, let me get this straight. Someone could watch Gore give his excellent fiery speech about the need to remove * from office, say to themselves "I wish Kerry would give speeches like that", and then vote for * because Kerry doesn't? Only a moron could watch that speech and have it make him want to go rethuglican. The moron vote already goes to * so this isn't something I'm going to worry about. Gore is a boon for Kerry, he can say all of the things Kerry can't and is consistently positive about Kerry as president. I swear if it weren't for Lou Dobbs and occasionally crossfire, I'd have delisted CNN months ago.

10. How many times did CNN run the Dean "scream"?
Wasn't it some ungodly number, over 800?

Isaacson would give his right nut for similar footage from Kerry.

11. first of all, let's "out" Schneider for the PNACer he is (see link), and
THEN, close the doors to these bordello bums by regular smackdowns of them -- one and all, each and every time. Most of us are really beyond :mad: -- we're :grr: and won't take it any more!

Link showing Bill Schneider as a self-labeling PNACer; he is one of the signers of the PNAC letter to President Clinton:

12. They are parroting Maureen Dowd's stupidity. I sent her a
scathing email letting her know that she know nothing it is highly unlikely that any Kerry supporter discussed Al Gore's speech with her and that she should STFU. I received a reply from her assistant assuring me that she would pass along my sentiments to Dowd. :evilgrin:
