Edwards supporters: heads up. Another Smear Story out.

[illinoisprogressive]

I am not even going to copy it but, just give a link. there appears to be another smear story out and I thought I'd let you guys know in case you don't already.
Why the press keeps doing this I don't know. But, I am sick of it and I am not a supporter.
but, I like Edwards. I think the way the press has treated him during the primaries is sickening.
If not ignoring him they are smearing him and that is just not right.
Well, that is my 2 cents and here is the link. You guys may want to email bomb them or all of you comment on there and give them hell.

1. diggers are digging.

[illinoisprogressive]

2. I am sick of the swiftboating or ignoring of the candidates except one. this is wrong

[AnneD]

8. Wonder how deep they have to dig

to get that piece of fossilized dianosaur poop.:evilgrin:
They are working overtime there.

[Mythsaje]

3. He scares them worse than anyone...

They'll do anything to take him down. Anything.

[bluerum]

6. I agree. They are soiling their depends. eom

4. It appears that corporate america which includes the corporate

media is doing everything within their power to get Edwards shut down. You will not see these kind of attacks on Hillary who received a fund raiser at Murdoch's home. I noticed this morning that they are ratcheting it up a notch on Edwards. They want him out, then Obama, he is in their sights as well.

5. I think that we Edwards and Obama supporters need to work

together. It has occurred to me that Edwards and Obama would make a great team. They do not agree on everything, but they complement each other very well. Both of them are shunning the corporate money to the extent possible -- at least this campaign cycle. I do not judge either of them for having accepted corporate donations in the past. If they are not doing it now, it is a sign to me that they learned from accepting money in the past.

10. I agree with you- it's necessary to join forces.

[AnneD]

11. you're not the first person that has thought that....

eom......

7. Insignificant but twisted to make it seem that there's some Murdoch bribery going on....

Smells of smear tactics, and judging from the person that wrote the article, I'm sure it is.

Here's the info. on the person that wrote the article:

http://www.politico.com/reporters/BenSmith.html

I guess Sen. Clinton is nervous? She's afraid this country is too sexist to elect her, and you know what? She's absolutely right. This country *IS* too sexist to elect a woman president. However, she's confident and will continue to run.

I've already sworn that if another Repuke president gets elected because we Dems fucked up, I'm leaving this country.

9. The threadstarters speak volumes about integrity....

...citing "sources say" sources :rofl:

Thanks for your concern...?

[smalll]

12. "Why the press keeps doing this" --

You rob banks because that's where the money is. Look, the press is lazy. Could they find enough "smears" to do down Hillary or Obama? Maybe they could. But with Edwards, it's JUST SO EASY.

[grateful581]

13. what bullshit

Cate Edwards money doesn't have anything to do with John's campaign. She got paid for her writing.
END OF STORY!

GO SCREW POLITICO.

[Beaverhausen]

14. I thought everyone knew by now that Politico is a right-wing propaganda machine

was I wrong? They seem to just be helping the RW get rid of one of the best candidates we have.

15. Edwards' response is in this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3446866

Ok got it? He was talking about HIS ADVANCE, not anyone elses. Sheesh.

[jillan]

16. It's amazing how the msm nit-picks some candidates

And others can't do anything wrong.

I really like Edwards.
