How stupid do the repukes think we are?
Check out this article I found on cnn.com about the Sinclair broadcasting story:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Bush-Cheney campaign didn't file a complaint with the FEC after what it says were unfair allegations that were widely broadcast against President Bush -- including a CBS "60 Minutes" report, the Michael Moore film "Fahrenheit 9/11," and the Kitty Kelly best-selling book about the Bush family.

Ken Mehlman, manager of the Bush-Cheney campaign, said Tuesday, "Each campaign has to decide how they want to deal with a broadcast they don't like. In our case, we try to tell the truth. In this case, they apparently filed a legal complaint."

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/12/kerry.program/index.html
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now when was F9/11 widely broadcast? Did I miss that? And are copies of Kitty Kelly's book being provided for FREE to anyone who just turns on a particular TV channel?

And don't ya just love the second paragraph? They tell the truth . So they somehow have integrity because they don't file legal complaints?

I guess the fact that they have no grounds for a legal complaint just goes right over their heads.

Anyone else out there tired of these repukes treating us like we are all stupid?

1. Spinning-spinning away
like the whirling dervishes they are.

They're trying to make people think that this is somehow the same thing--when we all know that it isn't. But you know--there are people out there stupid enough to believe this BS.

3. Are you kidding?
Bush said it himself. They don't care what we think. They've conflated lots of things the same way, and the so-called journalists who report on the stuff give them a bye. Like two profitmaking ventures that sank or swam on their own attractiveness and merit could have been stopped with a lawsuit -- we all know it's a load of shit, but they don't care what we think, and the other half of the electorate doesn't fucking think! That's how Bush* got in, in the first place.

RNC files complaint over anti-Bush groups
Thursday, April 1, 2004 Posted: 10:35 AM EST (1535 GMT)

Stay with CNN for updates and analysis of developments including the Kerry campaign's debate challenge to Bush, and the Republican National Committee's complaints about political groups' anti-Bush ads.

RNC opens assault on anti-Bush groups

HARD ON SOFT MONEY: In a complaint to be filed today with the Federal Election Commission, the Bush campaign and the GOP will charge that John Kerry is benefiting from "the largest illegal infusion of soft money from wealthy individuals, unions, corporations and other special interests" since Watergate. The GOP alleged that Kerry was part of an "unprecedented illegal conspiracy" to coordinate ads with well-funded liberal groups in violation of campaign finance laws -- a claim Kerry's campaign denied.

8. They can only understand an intellect no higher than their own...
...which makes their expectations WAY underrated!

Thing is, we Dem's have for decades now been too complacent,

it's TIME FOR CHANGE!

9. Collective amnesia
People just can't remember the truth about anything. Or think. Or something. The Republican lie box tells them what to think and they think it. I just don't know how their minds work, I really don't.

10. Like the WH statement a few weeks ago about *s TANG service:
1) He never asked for preferential treatment (nobody said he did; he didn't have to! Daddy did it for him.)
2) He never failed his physical (nobody said he did; he failed to show up to take the damn thing. Can't fail what you never try, eh, Georgie?)
3) He was never disciplined by the National Guard (simply more evidence of the preferential treatment he supposedly didn't get.)

God, what morons.
