Reply #26: typical Rovian attempt at narrative setting

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

and the classic technique at trying to turn your opponent's greatest strength into a weakness.

they did it with Kerry. A war hero became a fraudulent traitor to his country who didn't earn his medals.

they can't attack Obama for taking out the single biggest target in the war on terror. so instead, they turn the victory into a false story of Obama-exploiting-it-and-using-the 9/11-families. Even got sources close to Dubya to leak that 'victory lap' line. (Notice Bush has yet to deny it.)

This is all coming from the Bush people - the ones who moved the 2004 RNC convention into September to take advantage of the 9/11 anniversary. The ones who ran campaign ads with Sept. 11 footage and morphed a war hero like Max Cleland into Bin Laden.
