Worried about the new Kerry flap.
You hear about this story. It is about how when Kerry was an anti-war activist, he went to a meeting of a radical group, where some of the members supposedly vowed to murder some US Senators. Now they are saying that Kerry's FBI file was stolen. Might be bad news. Sorry.

1. LOL
ok, you worry away.

Most of us know this "story" broke a few weeks ago and went nowhere.

3. This has already been dealt with.
Kerry was opposed to that and quit the group. End of story. Case closed.

16. I hope so.
But it was a major shock to hear Buchanan and Scarborough going on and on about this (esp. the so-called plan to assassinate senators--I mean, Buchanan is sometimes almost sane, but he was acting as if this was a serious issue. though he HAS to know it's pure smear!). And they linked this "story" to the theft of the FBI papers (as if another FOIA request couldn't bring them back). But I think they suspected RWers of stealing them?? None of it made sense, but they were all very serious about it. Also Mobray (RWer).

There's a transcript up now--it was MSNBC, Scarborough Country on Friday, April 2. The part about Kerry is about 1/3 of the way down. (I know it's garbage, but I think we really need to pay attention to what they're doing.)

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4669731/

So, anyway, if it was "dealt with", maybe they have to fight harder before these lies go away. I was so sickened by it....

4. The Repugs will do what they can
They are obviously saving up some of this stuff for later in the election. We haven't heard too much about this story yet or about Kerry's supposedly liberal voting record. I assume Kerry will have an effective response.

5. Info was not even from FBI agent - and those there say Kerry was not there
One of the most screwed up attempts to smear that Murdock has run - he really has lost his edge!

But thanks for the information

:-)

10. It's not new.
He wasn't at the meeting.

Yes, apparently copies of his FBI files were stolen from somebody who'd acquired them.

(Who ever heard of a worried pit bull?)

27. If It Were True, They Wouldn't Have Used It In April
That would have been a late election season bombshell if it had any chance of sticking and couldn't be easily refuted.

This is a just a cookie to the base, so they can add to their "hate Kerry" arsenal. Make them feel good about themselves and their pathetic intellects.

15. nice try
but that "story" is just more desperate hate-filled right wing propaganda. Your "War-President" is going to get his sorry, arrogant lying butt sent back to his fake "ranch" in November.

26. Yes, this has all the earmarks of Uncle Karl's Dirty Tricks Squads
That would be PLACE ONE to look for those stolen FBI documents.

The fuckers. The worst part is that Uncle Karl is going to get away with the theft and any frauds arising out of it because anyone who has survived the initial and post-9/11 Bushevik Purges KNOWS that to oppose the Imperial Family is to sign your Death Warrant (for your career usually, sometimes the Real Thing).

38. Freepers think everyone is dumber than them...WEAK attempt!
It's funny - I think that guy really thought that there was some chance that we hadn't heard this story. MrPitBull, you do realize that many many of us read FreeRepublic everyday?

You might have slipped by the DHmod radar if you followed these pointers:

Title: You gave yourself away right off the bat. We all know that the story is NOT new...Next time try:

"Is this Kerry story for real?"

Then give a few details and ask a question. Mission Accomplished.

Also, we are used to having better sources than..."they" (Now they are saying that...)
