Edited on Thu Oct-19-06 04:19 PM by blm
some DUers used it believing it was a lefty site and then turned out to be an early front by the Swiftliars?

They attacked his strength - his status as a war hero. They lied and told a different story.

This whole new campaign accusing Kerry of hording money when it's been well documented that he's given more than anyone else is deja vu. Go after the person's strength. If he donates more than anyone, say he isn't.

Who's behind this new campaign? Swifts? Again?

5. It has to be GOPs behind this. Dems KNOW the facts are well-documented
Edited on Thu Oct-19-06 05:21 PM by blm
so why would they even TRY to attack another Democrat with such easily disproved smears?

No REAL Democrat would do this. Or they'd have to be one stupid m-effer.

2. Definitively - Given the fact that the website is private,
we can think at the worst.

10. Hotline just a few months ago reported Kerry FAR outgave every other Dem
so why the LIES now just because a BRAND NEW WEBSITE said so?

6. Absolutely... connect the dots people...
Remember how DU fell for the lies of SeventhSon, who spent most of his time on DU posting links to smears about Kerry and Clark? He outed himself as a troll on election night.

Remember their pattern, folks... they convince naive and honest liberals that they are "concerned Democrats" and then launch their campaign of lies... then when the damage is done they disappear or out themselves at last, as a last taunt to the liberals they deceived.

REMEMBER THE LESSONS of the Swiftboat liars in 2004!

11. Exactly so.
It looks like falling for stuff is still a problem in some places.

14. I can barely remember it. It had more to do with support for the war and
support for the president. Someone has to remember it. It was a big site in 2003 during the campaign. I mentioned it because of its underhandedness, its blatant proppgandaish value -- it was not really the site of a little girl but was created by political ops.

15. OH....OK....Now that you describe it I know exactly what you mean.
That's why this site has to be a RW operation, or a very nasty Dem trying to emulate RW tactics to use against other Dems.

My guess is that either way it will backfire.

13. Cowardly liars.
Kerry's been helping TOO many campaigns lately and giving too much money to Democrats.

We can't tell who's actually behind this, but it is swiftboating no matter who's doing it.

17. blm, i do remember this
DU had less restrictions then regarding use of right wing sources. and this was used by some on DU to attack Kerry. we now know that many of them were right wingers also.

i remember NEWSMAX was used to attack him. NEWSMAXXXX ? and it was a person who had earlier said they would vote for Bush if Gore got the nomination.
