Joe Trippi (Dean's campaign manager): Drudge -- Wrong Again

[w4rma]

Anyone who knows anything about how the DNC works -- knows that there is no way any of the candidates for president could have any impact on the DNC chairmanship -- least of all the Dean Campaign. Particularly in the days following the New Hampshire primary regardless of the result. No one from the Dean Campaign leaked anything to Drudge -- this report is like a National Enquirer headline proclaiming "Martians surprised that George Bush is our leader"

Now back to the process of encouraging Americans to participate in their democracy.... Keep the focus on how each of us can encourage one more friend, co-worker, or family member to join the Dean Campaign this week.

3. Yep

Trippi is fast and smart. Using the internet, blogs and internet supporters, he is able to nib this kind of shit in the bud almost immediately.

Smart, very smart.

GO DEAN!

2. They are using Drudge q

As a leak for Rovian dirty tricks, once again....

Sad part is, some of the idiots will swallow it...

4. Could have been a setup to discredit Drudge too

They tried messing with our minds with the Rove crap. We will start messing with theirs too. Smart move. Seems fair to me. Afterall this is war.

5. Thank you Joe

you have to be careful with 'unnamed sources' stuff, I don't care where it comes from.

6. Damn, I love Trippi!

Almost as much as I love his boss. :loveya:

I just had to post this from the comments thread under Trippi's post at the blog.

The anonymous Drudge thing is an obvious fake. He quotes "associates" of Dean, "sources close" to Dean, then "senior sources," and finally, "a top Dean source." Drudge sure has an amazing amount of access....

There is only one top source in the Dean Campaign -- and it ain't me!

7. Trippi and the Dean people have really impressed me

with their rapid responses. this is what will drive the rightwingers crazy. they have been so used to lying thru their teeth and not be called out on it. Trippi and Dean have proved that they can duke it out with the best (or worse?) of the bush* bunch.

8. Why are "Martians surprised that George Bush is our leader,"

but there are still so many sheeple that have not caught on yet?

Enquiring minds want to know...
