Sandy Berger's Slap on Wrist

Date: Sat, 2 Apr 2005 10:55:30 -0500

Sandy Berger, an advisor to the Kerry campaign as well Clinton's National Security Advisor, has ADMITTED that he stole and destroyed

documents from the National Archives that were after-action reports critical of Clinton's handling of the planned attack by bin Laden and Al

Queda in 1999. He stole and destroyed these government documents so that they would not be turned over to the September 11 Commission. These documents have shown that the Clinton Administration not only knew of proposed terrorists attacks on the U.S. but hid this information from the public and did nothing to go after the terrorists except leave a note to George Bush that there were terrorists planning to attack the

U.S. Like everything else Bill Clinton has done in his life, with the help of a fawning media, he sweeps the real work of governing under the

rug like a P.R. flack and leaves the heavy lifting to the next guy.

Fortunately, this next guy disregards the media suck-ups and does the job with li! ttle appreciation from these same suck-ups.

Why does Berger only get probation for stealing and destroying sensitive government documents for purely political purposes? And why hasn't the media exposed this egregious disregard by the Clinton Administration for the public's safety and tell the story? Where is the media outrage such as undoubtedly would have been leveled against George Bush. Do they, the media, wonder why they have the credibility of used car salesmen - I apologize to used car salesman to put them in the same low-class. I respect factual criticism, especially constructive criticism, of all and, especially anyone who purposely and strenuously becomes a public figure. But I have no respect for journalists and their management who, through a plethora of devious means, censor the news for their own, profitable agenda. Ironically, it is these elitist journalist who scream

the First Amendment who want to silence bloggers because they may have an agenda.

Please, somebody, give this story the unbiased, factual attention it deserves. I saw a small reference to this in our local (Palm Beach) press and no editorial comment. Yes, it will hurt Hillary's aspirations to the throne but that is her problem, one she deservedly should have.

Jane Fonda: Kerry Suffered From 'Wimp' Image

In more bad news for Sen. John Kerry, "Hanoi" Jane Fonda is once again stepping into the media spotlight, promoting her new book,

"My Life So Far," and explaining that Kerry lost the election because he came across as "a wimp" and a "girlie man."

Fonda bankrolled Kerry's anti-war protests during the 1970s, and last year she tried to help him by registering as many women as

possible in her "Vaginas Vote" campaign.

In a preview of what's to come as her book tour hits the TV talk show circuit, Fonda discussed her life and times last month at the

"Girls For A Change" conference held at Montana State University.

She began by explaining that she'd spent the last five years working on her memoir, and insisted that her own life story is universal.

Even someone who's wealthy, privileged, famous and white can be hurt by the hierarchy's rules in profound ways, Fonda explained.

Before too long the former actress got around to the subject of Kerry's defeat.

In quotes picked up by Bozeman, Montana's Daily Chronicle, she complained: "Men who show compassion or try to make peace are

ridiculed as 'girlie men' or, like John Kerry, as wimps."

It's all a part of the patriarchal society we live in, she said, where American boys learn as early as age 5 that they have to earn a place

in the hierarchy by being "real men" - not sissies who express emotion.

"We have to feel true empathy for boys," she urged. "Males have the power, but at what cost."

The former Hollywood radical urged girls to be more assertive, saying: "Get mad. It's not the way it has to be. Don't succumb, don't take

it sitting down."

The solution, she said, is for girls to realize it's society and not their own flaws that makes them feel anxious and inadequate.

Kerry Wants U.S. to Honor Communist

John Kerry is asking the U.S. Senate to pay homage to the memory of a notorious Communist and rabid anti-American.

As sponsor of a resolution that would have the Senate honor the late W.E.B. Du Bois, Kerry is promoting a man who was fervently anti-American, a member of the Soviet-dominated Communist Party, and twice ejected from the NAACP for his opposition to racial integration.

It would not be the first time a nation has honored Du Bois. According to Daniel J. Flynn, writing in Human Events, the Soviet Union awarded him the Lenin Peace Prize, and Maoist China staged a national holiday in his honor in 1959.

Writes Flynn, "Now, for reasons unexplained, the Democratic Party's 2004 presidential nominee seeks to honor Du Bois, too."

Kerry promoted his Senate resolution, co-sponsored by Democratic Senators Edward Kennedy (Mass.) and Carl Levin (Mich.), by declaring, "Dr. Du Bois taught us that the promise of freedom is honored through action."

The reality is far different. Du Bois renounced his American citizenship and joined the Communist Party. In writing longtime Communist Party U.S.A. Chairman Gus Hall in 1961, the reflexively anti-American intellectual called communism "the only way of human life” and predicted that the free market was "doomed to self-destruction."

Here's just a small part of Du Bois’ pro-Communist record, as reported by Human Events:

During the Korean war in 1950, in which 54,246 American service men and women would die, Du Bois said that "the North Koreans are fighting exactly the things for which Americans fought in 1776."

Three years later, he eulogized Soviet dictator Stalin - one of history's worst mass murderers - as a "great" and "courageous" man, "attacked and slandered as few men of power have been." In his posthumously published autobiography, he called the crackdown on religion behind the Iron Curtain "the greatest gift of the Russian Revolution to the modern world."

After a 1937 visit to Nazi Germany, he admitted that the Nazis had stamped out freedom, but nevertheless praised the Hitlerites for creating "a nation at work after a nightmare of unemployment; and the results of this work are shown not simply by private profits, but by houses for the poor; new roads; an end of strikes and labor troubles; widespread industrial and unemployment insurance; the guarding of public and private health; great celebrations, organizations for old and young, new songs, new ideals, a new state, a new race."

He failed to mention concentration camps and the gas ovens that consumed millions. And while condemning anti-Semitism, Flynn noted, Du Bois called it "a reasoned prejudice" in Hitler's Germany.

Flynn concluded by observing that "ironically, both the honoree and the politician paying homage to him are guilty of the same transgression: failing to identify evil when it appears at close range. From communism to eugenics to racial separatism, W.E.B. Du Bois was wrong on just about every major issue he championed. His admirers in Congress are wrong, too."

On January 30, 2005, The Great Pretender once again promised to sign his 180, this time on NBC News’ Meet the Press:

MR. RUSSERT: Many people who’ve been criticizing you have said: Senator, if you would just do one thing and that is sign Form 180, which would allow historians and journalists complete access to all your military records. Thus far, you have gotten the records, released them through your campaign. They say you should not be the filter. Sign Form 180 and let the historians…

SEN. KERRY: I’d be happy to put the records out. We put all the records out that I had been sent by the military. Then at the last moment, they sent some more stuff, which had some things that weren’t even relevant to the record. So when we get–I’m going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn’t in the record and we’ll put it out. I have no problem with that.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: But everything, Tim…

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

Well. Thirty days have passed and no 180. Jeepers. The Great Pretender must have forgotten all about it! So? I consider it my civic duty to remind The Great Pretender to keep his promise to the citizens of the United States of America.

You can help. Send the Senator an email with a link to the form. Have your friends do so too. and... if you are a blogger, join us for the Tuesday Blogburst!

Senator John Kerry Opposes Nomination Of Dr. Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State

Wednesday, January 19, 2005

I appreciate Dr. Rice’s willingness to stay late last evening to have an exchange with the committee on the critical foreign policy and security questions before us.

“After serious consideration, I have decided to vote against this nomination. Dr. Rice is a principal architect, implementer, and defender of a series of administration policies that have not made our country as secure as we should be and have alienated much-needed allies in our common cause of winning the war against terrorism. Regrettably, I did not see in Dr. Rice’s testimony any acknowledgment of the need to change course or of a new vision for America’s role in the world. On Iraq, on North Korea, on Iran, to name just a few of the most critical challenges, it seems to be more of the same.

“I hope I am proven wrong. I hope the course will change. And I hope that the administration will recognize the strength of a foreign policy that has bipartisan support. I am prepared to work with Dr. Rice and others in the administration to try to reach agreement on policies that will truly strengthen our security and restore America’s credibility on the world stage. And I am confident colleagues on both sides of the aisle are prepared to do so as well.

Vietnam Veterans Celebrate Kerry's Election Defeat

By Marc Morano

CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer

January 21, 2005

Washington (CNSNews.com) - Vietnam Veterans who opposed Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry held an "un-augural" reception on Thursday afternoon in Washington to celebrate the fact that Kerry lost the election and to honor the veterans who helped defeat him.

"We are celebrating the fact that John Kerry lost," said Jerome Corsi, co-author of the best-selling book Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry. Corsi wrote the book with former Swift Boat veteran John O'Neill.

"The whole Swift Boat effort was organized, not to re-elect George Bush but to defeat John Kerry, and that was the unifying factor that brought all the Vietnam Veterans together," Corsi told Cybercast News Service at the National Press Club reception. Cybercast News Service was the first news organization to report that Kerry's Swift Boat veterans were organizing to oppose Kerry's candidacy in May 2004.

The moderator of the reception, Lou Priebe, put it bluntly: "We are celebrating the fact that the commander in chief that raised his hand today was not John F. Kerry."

Under a banner that read "Kerry Lied, Good Men Died," the coalition of veterans groups, including Swift Boat veterans, POWs and other military veterans, declared their mission accomplished.

"These men literally changed history, because I believe that without Vietnam Veterans across the country taking a stand for the truth, this election would have gone otherwise, there is no doubt in my mind," said Carlton Sherwood, producer of the documentary "Stolen Honor," which details Kerry's "betrayal" of U.S. servicemen fighting in Vietnam.

Sherwood is an investigative reporter and thrice-wounded (and decorated) Marine Corps combat veteran. His documentary details POWs' resentment towards Kerry for what they see as his smearing of Vietnam Veterans through his anti-war activism in the early 1970s.

Kerry, in testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the Detroit "Winter Soldier" investigations, claimed that more than 150 Vietnam veterans "testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia -- not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command...."

According to Kerry's testimony, some of the 150 veterans admitted they "had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam..."

But Sherwood refuted Kerry's claims about the soldiers who fought in Vietnam. "Vietnam is not a four letter word. It was fought honorably and well by men who were not war criminals," Sherwood said on Thursday.

"John Kerry still hasn't answered any of the questions that were posed to him," he added.

'We confronted his lies'

B. G. Burkett, a military researcher and author of the book Stolen Valor , which details phony veteran claims, said that Vietnam Veterans "got the truth out about John Kerry."

"We confronted his lies and we told the truth," Burkett told Cybercast News Service.

Burkett noted that much of the media still does not give the Vietnam Veterans who opposed Kerry the respect he believes they deserve.

"The mainstream media is still saying the Swift Boat Veterans were completely discredited. Nobody has ever discredited anything the Swift Boat Veterans presented. You will see that type of phrase in column after column and articled after article and it's just totally bunk," Burkett said.

Kerry labeled the Swift Boat veterans' efforts against him "a pack of lies" in September 2004.

But Burkett said the facts prove otherwise: "John Kerry lied about this military service in Vietnam. That's just the absolute truth," Burkett said.

Kerry’s Logan Act

By Patrick Hynes

Published 1/20/2005 12:07:39 AM

John Kerry recently returned from an extended tour of the Middle East and Europe. He tried some of his old material on the road, bashing the Bush administration's foreign policy and criticizing America's effort in the war in Iraq, as if November 2, 2004, had never happened.

While Kerry's Bush-bashing tour may have won him some gratifying ovations overseas, it's what he has said upon his return to the United States that should raise the eyebrows of every American.

On Martin Luther King Day, Kerry gave a speech in Massachusetts chiefly notable for its perpetuation of the silly myth that a coordinated conspiracy to disenfranchise African Americans had cost him votes, possibly even the election. But buried deep in that same story was the following utterance:

"Throughout Europe, as I met with European leaders, it's clear that they're prepared to do more, but the (Bush) administration has not put the structure together for people to be able to do it," he said.

Kerry declined to specify which leaders expressed a desire to help more with Iraq, or how.

Then on Tuesday, during his grilling of Dr. Condoleezza Rice at her confirmation hearing, Kerry repeated the story, but peppered in an assertion that Arab nations wanted in, as well.

"Every Arab leader I asked, do you want Iraq to fail, says no. Do you think you will be served if there's a civil war? They say no. Do you believe that failure is a threat to the region and to the stability of the world? Yes; same with the European leaders. But each of them feel that they have offered more assistance, more effort to be involved, want to be part of a playing field that's more cooperative, and yet they feel rebuffed."

Bear in mind this was not an official trip to Europe and the Middle East. Kerry was not visiting as a representative of the United States Government. He was in no way commissioned by the executive branch to negotiate alliances with foreign countries. So what was he doing there? In an e-mail to 3 million political supporters in which he also calls for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Kerry said, "After several months consumed by the campaign trail, I wanted to make contact with our soldiers on the ground there."

In short, his trip was, essentially, a very public vacation. One in which Kerry seems to have run afoul of the Logan Act, which reads:

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

The Logan Act became necessary when, in 1798, a friend and political supporter of Thomas Jefferson named George Logan spirited off to Paris on his own authority to secure an accord with France during a time of great tension between the U.S. and that country. Logan later served a single term in the United States Senate.

No one has ever been prosecuted under the Logan Act, and certainly not a U.S. Senator on the Foreign Relations Committee. But it wouldn’t be unheard of. In the late-1980s the National Security Council considered using the Logan Act to muzzle Speaker of the House Jim Wright, who was at the time playing footsies with the Communist Sandinistas in Nicaragua.

But all of Kerry's bloviating can be overlooked and chalked up to post-election face-saving and I-told-you-so-ism, right? Well, maybe. But remarks and actions like these have become an unsettling trend for John Kerry.

For example, as the nation became well aware during the course of the 2004 election, John Kerry has probably violated the Logan Act before, and possibly other laws that make it a crime to negotiate with enemies of the United States.

The script of the famously hard hitting Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ad on the subject recaps the story better than I could:

Even before Jane Fonda went to Hanoi to meet with the enemy and mock America, John Kerry secretly met with enemy leaders in Paris, though we were still at war and Americans were being held in North Vietnamese prisons camps.

Then he returned and accused Americans of committing war crimes on a daily basis. Eventually, Jane Fonda apologized for her activities. But John Kerry refuses to. In a time of war, can America trust a man who betrayed his country?

Of course, John Kerry could just be embellishing his conversations with Arab and European leaders. He has been known to stretch the truth, or at least mumble unsubstantiated statements, such as this one from last March:

"I've met with foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly, but, boy, they look at you and say: 'You've got to win this. You've got to beat this guy. We need a new policy.' Things like that."

No one is suggesting that John Kerry will be the subject of a criminal probe or a congressional hearing. Many of us have long ago given up hope that obstreperous liberals in Congress who deliberately weaken our country's position in a time of war will face appropriate repercussions. But it would be nice if John Kerry would stop visiting “foreign leaders” for a while, at least until the war in Iraq is over. Either that, or stop making up stories.

Election Day exit polls skewed in Kerry's favor, consortium admits

BY JOHN COOK

Chicago Tribune

LOS ANGELES - (KRT) - The consortium of news media formed to obtain exit poll data on Election Day acknowledged Wednesday that the data dramatically overstated the percentage of voters who supported Democrat John Kerry.

It also announced steps to prevent the leaking of preliminary exit poll data in future elections.

"The exit poll estimates in this year's general election in many states and in the national survey had a sizable overstatement of the estimated percentage of the vote for John Kerry," said a report by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International, the research firms that conducted the polls.

Edison and Mitofsky were hired to do the polling by the National Election Pool, consisting of the major broadcast and cable news networks and The Associated Press.

The NEP said in a statement that in future elections it will not release exit poll results to members and subscribers until 6 p.m. Eastern time to minimize leaks.

Early exit poll results circulating on the afternoon of Nov. 2 heavily favored Kerry, leading some television commentators to hint at a Kerry victory. Though the data are supposed to be kept confidential until polls close, they leaked onto many Internet sites almost as soon as they were released to members early in the afternoon.

The eventual Bush victory led many to question the reliability of exit polls and the wisdom of conducting them at all, particularly in light of the fiasco of the 2000 election when flawed exit poll data contributed in part to a string of botched calls by news outlets.

The networks initially defended the polls, saying that early results were preliminary and never intended for release. They said the final numbers distributed later on election night were more accurate.

But Wednesday's report confirmed that in the case of 26 states and the nationwide exit poll, the final results skewed in Kerry's favor.

"Even when the polls were complete, we were overstating the Democrat," said Warren Mitofsky, president of Mitofsky International. The final nationwide exit poll, which was completed at 11 p.m. EST on Nov. 2, showed a Kerry victory with 51 percent of the vote to Bush's 48 percent.

Mitofsky said exit polls have always tended to give an edge to Democratic candidates, and that he had anticipated the problem and taken steps to account for it. But he said the magnitude of the discrepancy was greater than he had expected. He said that for reasons that remain unclear, Democratic voters are more likely than Republicans to agree to interview requests from pollsters.

Mitofsky and network election experts acknowledged that more needs to be done to refine the exit-polling system, including better recruitment and training of pollsters, but insisted that the practice is sound.

"They run a professional operation and they know what they're doing," said Tom Hannon, the political director for CNN, a member of the pool. "They didn't make one bad call. There were problems, but compared to 2000, they weren't that bad."

Critics, however, pounced on the NEP report.

"I'm not sure that I will ever believe an exit poll again," said John Zogby, president and chief executive of the polling firm Zogby International. "How could they have been so way off? They were worse than virtually every pre-election poll." (Zogby's own pre-election polling predicted that Kerry would win.)

Kathleen Frankovic, director of surveys for CBS News, also a pool member, said she supports exit polling but said it is not surprising that the exit polls were off because all polls are estimates rather than vote counts. "If you want to do an exit poll, there's a lot of detail and a lot of potential for problems," she said. "Maybe this will undercut some of the blind faith in exit polls."

Mitofsky laid most of the blame for the Election Day confusion at the feet of people who distributed the leaked data on the Internet.

"I don't really take well (to) being criticized for numbers that were leaked when I didn't leak them," he said. "Some of the exit polls were off during the day, but I never told anyone to pay attention to them."

John Kerry - Petty, Petulant, Piss Ant Extraordinaire - I Again Thank American Voters For His Defeat

By Dennis M. Becklin

Medford, Oregon - US Senator John Kerry's "NO" vote at the conclusion of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing for Secretary of State designate Condoleeza Rice tells the entire story. This petty, petulant, poor losing, piss ant who aspired to be the 44th President of the United States of America is beneath the office.

I again thank every American voter who voted for President George W. Bush in November, 2004.

If any of you needed confirmation of the importance of your vote for President Bush versus his challenger last year, you saw it today.

Senator John F. Kerry, member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, cast one of only two votes against Dr. Condoleeza Rice today. He stood on the same side of the vote with California's US Senator Barbara Boxer, and cast his lot with the icon of negativist personalities in the US Senate.

Congratulations, Mr. Kerry. You lived up to my expectations.

If you had the slightest amount of class... If you had the slightest amount of character... If you had even a minimalist understanding of the concept of the common good of all Americans...If you possessed the smallest quotient of American spirit...

Mr. Kerry, you would have voted in favor of Dr. Rice today.

For Americans, this is an historic day... a star-spangled-banner day. Those who voted for John Kerry have been shown why they made a grievous mistake. Those who voted for President George W. Bush have been handed Kerry's petulant personality on his own silver platter.

Thank you, Mr. Kerry.

More importantly, thank you President George W. Bush, and thank you US Secretary of State designate Dr. Condoleeza Rice.

Your class and your strength of character are welcome, and necessary, in the leadership of the shining light of the world...The United States of America.

Kerry failed vets on return home

Jan. 18, 2005 12:00 AM

Regarding "Media fumbled on Guard memos" (Letters, Thursday):

The writer states he hasn't read any corroboration of Lt. Col. Larry B. Killian's positive evaluation of then-Lt. George W. Bush. I have.

The writer also states then-Lt. Bush's Guard service is "relevant" because the Bush presidential campaign attacked Sen. John Kerry's Vietnam service, a misstatement of fact. On several occasions President Bush and other campaign officials stated that Sen. Kerry served his country honorably. The "attack" he refers to came from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, an independent 527 organization, like moveon.org.

What is "relevant," is not the fact that Kerry was there; it is what he said and did when he returned home. On a visit to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., shortly after it opened, I met several Vietnam vets. Some handed out literature, others had booths where they sold anti-Jane Fonda and John Kerry memorabilia. They wanted the American people to know the truth: They were not baby killers, they were not criminals, they served their country with honor.

For more than 30 years our vets tried to inform the public of the atrocities committed by John Kerry and others, yet the mainstream media ignored them. When John Kerry ran for president, he provided the veterans an opportunity to get their message out.

The election is over; whether you like the outcome or not is irrelevant. Maybe the real winners are the veterans - their voices were heard, they reopened debate, hoping we the people would seek the truth and finally heal the wounds of Vietnam. - Cindy Saling, Surprise

Kerry in 'F'-word Tantrum over Missing Hairbrush

Now they tell us.

Newsweek's special election issue is chock full of juicy details about the man the media wanted to become president, one of which was that the billionaire Democrat was hellish on the help.

One revealing incident transpired as John Kerry was preparing for a Time magazine photo shoot last February, and wanted to attend to his carefully maintained coiffure.

Turning to his butler and valet, Marvin Nicholson - whom Kerry brought along on the campaign trail to fetch everything from peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to throat lozenges - the man-of-the-people Democrat demanded to know where his hairbrush was.

"Sir, I don't have it," Nicholson replied, after rummaging in the bags.

"Marvin, f---!" Kerry barked

Press secretary David Wade tried to help, offering Kerry his own brush, but the temperamental billionaire rejected the help

"I'm not using Wade's brush," he shot back, before cursing his at butler again.

"Marvin, f---, it's my Time photo shoot."

Vietnam Swift Boat veterans celebrate their role in John Kerry's election defeat

By Charles Laurence

(Filed: 07/11/2004)

'John Kerry will never call us terrorists and war criminals again," crowed John O'Neill, the Vietnam war Swift Boat captain who led the fiercest attack of the campaign against the Democratic candidate.

With his brothers-in-arms from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, Mr O'Neill was celebrating President George W Bush's victory with fervour. For the Swift Boat captains and crew who fought to destroy Sen Kerry's credibility as a Vietnam war hero, it was a victorious end to a vendetta that began more than 30 years ago.

"I will leave it to the professionals to decide whether we played a crucial role in defeating Kerry, but I am very satisfied," said Mr O'Neill from his law office in Houston, Texas.

Last week it emerged that Mr Kerry had wanted to fight back against his Vietnam nemesis, but was dissuaded by his campaign advisers. He is furious at their miscalculation. The Swift Boat Veteran for Truth organisation, operating outside the official Republican machine, did more damage to Mr Kerry's image as the cool, experienced war leader than anyone else.

Mr Kerry was enraged by its television advertisements and a best-selling book, Unfit for Command, by Mr O'Neill. He was even more angry when the former senator Bob Dole - a Second World War veteran - appeared on television to endorse the veterans.

According to a special edition of Newsweek magazine, Mr Kerry telephoned Mr Dole, a fellow Purple Heart holder, decorated for wounds suffered in battle, in fury. "You can't say this kind of stuff," he shouted. "And by the way, Bob, I bled from every one of my wounds."

Throughout their campaign Mr O'Neill and his fellow veterans insisted that they were working not for President Bush, but for justice and their own honour.

They saw Mr Kerry as a man who had ratted on his fellow warriors by describing them as "war criminals", faked his Vietnam wounds, and secured his medals under false pretences. Mr O'Neill's book caught the senator out in at least one exaggeration: his claim to have spent a Christmas in Cambodia, when he was several miles inside the Vietnamese border.

"Kerry has lost his case as well as the election. We have reclaimed history," said Mr O'Neill.

Mr Kerry attracted particular opprobrium for having taken up leadership of a veterans' anti-war movement, the role in which he claimed that American troops had been involved in war crimes.

Mr O'Neill debated with Mr Kerry on television and has pursued him ever since. "The reason I will do anything to stop John Kerry becoming Commander-in-Chief is that, the first time he confronted terrorism - the terrorists of Vietnam - he took the position that they were the army of George Washington and we were the war criminals," he said.

Mr Kerry was ambushed by the Swift Boat veterans within hours of leaving the podium of the Democratic Convention, where he had theatrically saluted and "reported for duty". Newsweek reports that he wanted to fight back immediately, encouraged by an aide to Sen John McCain. The aide warned Mr Kerry: "They'll make it look like you fought for the Viet Cong."

But Mr Kerry's campaign managers, Bob Shrum and Mary Beth Cahill, insisted that he "float above" the attack advertisements.

It was only after James Carville, President Clinton's former campaign strategist known as the "Ragin' Cajun" joined Mr Kerry's team in September that the approach changed. Mr Carville, reports Newsweek, insisted that the candidate be allowed to hit back - but it was too late.

Mr O'Neill warned that he remained ready for combat, and was waiting in the wings with his "message" should Sen Kerry ever choose to return to the presidential political fray.

Diary Bombshell: Kerry Met with Terrorists

News Max 7 Nov 2004

In a bombshell development that could have turned President Bush's victory into a landslide had it come out before the election, John Kerry wrote in his Vietnam war diary that he met "terrorists" in Paris - a revelation that "flabbergasted" his running mate John Edwards.

All during the campaign, Kerry had adamantly refused to release his diary, claiming that he'd given exclusive rights to use the document to his biographer, Douglas Brinkely. But when Brinkley told reporters that wasn't true, Kerry still declined to make the diary public. Now we know why.

According to Newsweek magazine: "Kerry's diary included mention of a meeting with some North Vietnamese terrorists in Paris."

Though Kerry's sit-down with North Vietnamese representatives had been reported late in the campaign, his description of them as "terrorists" would have set off smoke alarms.

The prospect that the top Democrat was willing to negotiate with "terrorists" 35-years ago would undoubtedly cement the Bush campaign's central message on Kerry: Anyone who would negotiate with terrorists can't be trusted with U.S. national security in a post-9/11 world.

John Edwards was "flabbergasted" by the news, Newsweek said. He recognized immediately how important it was to keep Kerry's terrorist confab secret.

"Let me get this straight," he told campaign staffers who delivered the shocker. "He met with terrorists? Oh, that's good."

Democrats Perplexed…Still Don’t Get it!

Written by JB Williams

I’m not surprised that a Party, who thinks George Soros represents American values, still can’t figure out what happened on November 2nd. No wonder Bill Clinton is still the star of the Democratic Party, he’s the only one who is even close to getting it…

Three days after the outcome of the 2004 election became clear, former President Clinton had a message for Democrats on the brink of suicide: “Buck up. It's not that bad. You need to improve your image.”

"This election presents a great opportunity for President Bush and a great opportunity for Democrats, and the two are not necessarily in conflict. It would be a mistake for our party to sit around and ... whine about this and that or the other thing." Clinton said in his first public remarks since Democratic Sen. John Kerry's defeat on Tuesday.

I said Clinton is the “closest” to getting it… but even he is missing the mark by a smidge…

It’s classic Clinton; he only recognizes the “image” problems facing the DNC, completely ignoring the fact that their current image matches their current platform and base philosophy perfectly.

Clinton is almost right, the DNC does have a severe image problem with all those red counties across the country. But the problem doesn’t stop with just their image, it runs much deeper than that.

Remember when the extreme left in America (yeah, it existed back then too, just in much smaller numbers) was afraid to elect JFK because they thought he would turn the whole country Catholic? These are the same folks that fear Bush’s moral convictions, only now they are greater in number, more extreme in their secular beliefs, and they control the Democratic Party.

Few Presidents have spoken more of their religion than JFK, and he would be no more welcome in the DNC today than George W. Bush. This is not just an image problem, this is a major philosophical shift in the heartbeat of the Democratic Party, and Americans figured that out.

Clinton went on to say, "If we let people believe that our party doesn't believe in faith and family, doesn't believe in work and freedom, that's our fault."

Again, he limits his diagnosis to the Party “image”. But the fact is the Party philosophy matches today’s image perfectly. They don’t believe in faith, or family, or hard work, or even freedom.

Instead, they have built their Party on a platform of secularism, same-sex unions, free stuff and in general, socialist principles. The American people didn’t misinterpret this in the 2000, 2002 or 2004 elections, they just flatly rejected it.

Spotted Al Gore was too left of center for America in 2000, but the DNC didn’t get the message, so they lost more congressional seats in 2002. Now John Kerry and John Edwards were too left of center for America in 2004, and they still don’t get it.

Already they are ramping up to run someone even further left in 2008, America’s surrogate Marxist, Hillary Clinton. Whether America is ready for a female President or not, clearly demonstrated in the last three elections is the fact that America is not yet ready for a Marxist President. Hopefully, it never will be!

Even worse, like other socialists around the globe, Democrats look at that big red map and conclude that the race was close. That all those red “hillbilly” counties that cover the map from sea to shining sea, are just too backwoods ignorant to know that they should welcome a secular socialist society with open arms.

Now clearly, somebody is “out of touch” with America, “out of sink” with true American values and principles, and it defies any form of logic to think it is all those folks who live in all those red counties.

They figure all us backwoods folks don’t know what the word “progressive” means. But it turns out us hillbilly’s can do a little cipherin’ of our own. All we have to do is look at the policy platform of the modern DNC, and we can see that “progressive” means “secular socialism”, a Godless society run by Godless men who appoint themselves God.

For such a hifalutin bunch of pantywaists, Democrats sure is slow to catch up with us bible thumpin’ baccer spittin’ hillbillies, ain’t they? Forest Gump was quicker on the uptake than these pompous windbags. Maybe they need someone to draw them a picture…?

A classy bunch they are too… (Click this one with discretion; they ain’t so classy after all)

Yep, it’s going to be entertaining watching these pretentious secular socialist puff-bags attempt to re-invent themselves between now and the next election.

We’ll have to keep in mind that it is only a re-invention of their “image”, because none of them folks who live in those little blue counties see anything wrong with their anti-American flag-burnin’ blame America first stinkin’ thinkin’. So they are not likely to change anything that matters any time soon.

Nov 5

These are the scum bags they call democrats.

"We still got work to do"

These photos were taken at the post-election anti-Bush rally

in San Francisco on November 3, 2004.

The rage and frustration of another Bush victory was more than many San Franciscans could take. As soon as Bush's re-election was confirmed in the middle of Wednesday, November 3, people started gathering at Powell and Market streets. By 5pm the crowd had swelled to several thousand.

The photographs below were taken at the rally and at the march that followed. Captions are provided only where needed.

Succinct.

Many protesters there simply could not accept what had happened. They paraded around with their election messages calling for Bush's defeat. I call them "November First people."

Still living in denial.

One group carried signs depicting famous revolutionaries and communists.

The most incomprehensible sign of the evening.

After night fell, around 6:30pm, the rally turned into a march to Mission and 24th streets. I heard murmurs that it might degenerate into a riot.

I fell in with the "Black Bloq," a group of anarcho-fascists whose only goal is to commit violence and incite chaos. I marched with them for hours as they chanted, "Tonight, We're gonna, Fuck! Shit! Up!" and "Hey hey, Ho ho, this civilization's got to go!" and "Shoot Bush, not dope!" and "No Bush, No Kerry, Revolution's necessary."

The Black Bloq folks hate San Francisco's touchy-feely leftists as much as they hate George Bush.

Luckily, the police came prepared, with officers lining the entire route, so the riot never materialized -- until the end, at the intersection of Mission and 24th, when the Black Bloq could no longer contain themselves. One of them threatened to attack a policeman, and was immediately arrested. The rest of the crew surrounded the cop in an angry mob.

Other cops swooped in and drove back the crowd. Here, the arresting officer drags the offender backwards toward the safety of the adjacent BART subway station.

As soon as the police descended the stairs into the station, the Black Bloq swarmed over the railing and rained firecrackers, rocks and traffic diverters down on the officers.

The BART staff panicked and decided to close down the station entirely. I ran to the other station entrance and saw that all the passengers were being quickly evacuated.

After a while the main entrance quieted down -- all that was visible were three traffic diverters that had been hurled at the cops.

Still frustrated, the Black Bloqers cried out, "Get the McDonald's!", but again the police were waiting for them. After seeing this row of cops protecting the building, the Black Bloqers backed off.

Their blood lust was satiated when someone started burning George Bush in effigy.

The crowd howled and screamed in excitement.

After the effigy was burnt to a crisp, the evening came to a shattering conclusion as the protesters ignited an upside-down American flag and cheered in ecstasy while the flames leaped into the night sky.

Patriots 51…Socialists 48

J.B Williams

“We the People” made history on November 2nd 2004 in so many ways. We turned out in record numbers to decide the future of our nation. By doing so, we took control of our country at a time when many believed control had been lost to the politicians, the corporations, or the special interest groups. We proved who runs this country, and the lessons are clear…

Since FDR, there has been a slow constant march towards socialism in America. American’s are the most socially conscious people on earth, but that doesn’t mean we believe in socialism as a form of governance. We know what socialism is, and we are aware of its record of failure around the globe. We have watched the DNC adopt a socialist doctrine, even watched as the socialist and communist party’s endorsed the DNC candidate in 2004, and on November 2nd, “we the people” said no!

The socialization of America depends on the movement first succeeding at a few other things. Neither socialism nor communism will be accepted in a nation of free moral people. No matter which God one believes in, belief in God’s dominion over man removes any possibility of man’s dominion over man. So for socialism to be accepted, America must first agree to become a secular nation. On November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” said no!

In order to become a secular nation, separation of church and state has to become law. We have all listened to Ivy League professor’s pontificate about the idea of separation of church and state in America, but we all know there is no such thing. We also know there is no real difference between people with no moral foundation at all, and people who can separate themselves from their moral convictions at will. On November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” said no!

A secular nation replaces moral and ethical values with the concept of an open society whereby all ideals, no matter how immoral, no matter how perverted, have equal merit and Rights. Idea’s like Gay Marriage, Pedophilia and Bestiality are given equal status with traditional family values. Some want to separate these ideas as though some are more immoral or more perverted than others. But in all cases, they represent unnatural sexual urges and none of them belong on an equal footing with traditional family values. On November 2nd, 11 states addressed these ideas and in all 11 cases, “we the people” overwhelmingly said no!

Abortion, the taking of innocent life for the purpose of sexual convenience has been accepted in this country for more than 40 years. No law was passed making it legal, no Constitutional Amendment exists making it a Right, and if it were put to a nation wide referendum, it would be outlawed from sea to shining sea. People who can do this, or who openly promote it, will pay a heavy price for their actions and so will all of us who sit quietly by, and allow it to continue. In a secular nation, murder is no problem, but on November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” proved that America is not yet a secular nation.

America is not only the nation that feeds itself; it’s the nation that has fed the world for more than 100 years. Most countries in the world are either third world dictatorships, or socialist forms of limited self-governance. Every nation envies the wealth and power of America, and many wish to bring America down to their level in every respect. All of our power is a result of and dependent upon our economic power. That economic power exists because of our economic freedom, and socialists threaten that freedom, and the power and security it provides.

More than $4 billion was spent in the 2004 election to fill a $400,000. a year position. An obscene amount of “illegal” money from God knows where or who, with God knows what kind of strings attached, was funneled into our honorable system by dishonorable people through 527 organizations attempting to supercede the will of the American people. On November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” said no!

Billionaire socialists like George Soros, secularists with anti-American agenda’s attempted to purchase the White House for their lap monkey John Kerry, and “we the people” said no!

Socialist media elite’s like Dan Rather and Peter Jennings, Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson, and Hollywood socialists like Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, Sean Penn, George Clooney and Alec Baldwin combined their efforts of mass disinformation, converting what was left of a liberal news media into a pure socialist propaganda machine. The quality of information being delivered to the American people by these folks was on par with Baghdad Bob.

They worked in tandem with the Kerry campaign, creating anti-Bush and anti-American headlines, even using forged government documents, and reinventing old news stories in an attempt to unseat a President who stands in the way of their socialist agenda for America. To their surprise and dismay, on November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” said no!

Members of the European Union, and the UN, all of whom had been exposed for their corrupt protection of the world’s most brutal dictator, acting against America and the free world in their own greedy self-interests at the expense of millions of Iraqi’s, attempted to inject their will into the American election. On November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” said no!

Osama Bin Laden himself, marginalized by the Bush doctrine of pre-emption, relegated to the status of video terrorist, attempted to inject his will into the American election too, just as he did successfully in Spain. On November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” said no!

They told us that 254 decorated Swift Vets were all liars, and that former POW’s were all liars too. They told us not to pay any attention to Kerry’s record as the most liberal member of the US Senate. They told us we didn’t need or deserve to see Kerry’s military records, and that his meeting with the North Vietnamese in France was a chance social event, even though his following false testimony before congress in 1971 was read right from the pages of a Viet Cong propaganda document.

On November 2nd, 2004, “we the people” once again said no!

“We the people” said no to all of this, and for that, I am a proud American today. But we only said no 51 to 48, a dangerously slim margin of true Patriots over Secular Socialists, which means, there is much work to be done in our country.

America’s moral majority took a stand, drew a line in the sand, and said this is the point at which the march towards secularism and socialism stops in our country. Our country is divided, 51 to 48, right down the line that separates morality from immorality. We know where the secular socialists live, in all the little blue counties on that election map. Our goal between now and 2008 must be to turn those blue counties red.

The red counties represent real American values of freedom over free stuff, the idea that right and wrong exists, and the understanding that America’s promise of personal liberty far outweighs any promise of temporary government issued economic security.

The red states don’t hate the wealthy, no matter how poor they are. They don’t believe anyone owes them anything, other than an equal opportunity to make their lives whatever they want it to be. They don’t believe America should be run by the UN, or that America should reduce itself to equal status in the world in order to eliminate the rightful envy of the world.

They believe in America, and all of the American ideals that made America the greatest nation on earth, and they are clearly committed to preserving real American values, whatever the cost.

The DNC is already talking about running Hillary Clinton in 2008, signaling that they still don’t get it. Hillary is left of Kerry and Edwards, a ticket that was already too left for America. She is left of her husband Bill, who was to the right of Kerry and Edwards, and who never received 50% of the popular vote.

On November 2nd, 2004, George W. Bush received more votes than any Presidential candidate in U.S. history, more than Reagan, and he was the first President to receive a clear majority of the peoples support since his father did in 1988.

At the same time, an already Republican House and Senate gained an even broader majority, leaving the DNC completely out of power, even losing their leadership, Tom Daschle in the process.

The message could not be clearer, yet the DNC, media elite’s and Hollywood socialists refuse to learn the lessons of the last several elections. The most divisive, intolerant, and hate filled group in America, now calls for unity from the conservative leadership. But this is no call for unity; it’s a call for mercy from the Right who has complete control in America today.

The mandate is on the Right, and the conservative leadership has an obligation to those who put them in power to not only preserve, but to advance the conservative agenda of returning America to its rightful place in the world. They have an obligation to lead America back to its moral heritage, away from the brink of secularism and socialism.

In the coming months, the mainstream media must be reformed from top to bottom, replacing propagandist with real news reporters who value “true and accurate” reporting over “fair and balanced” reporting. 527 groups and the likes must be put out of business for good; eliminating any possibility of another international coup attempt.

Congress must be forced to place all pending legislation and voting records online where anyone can access the performance data of those we elect to do our nations business, so that never again, will the people be locked out of the halls of congress where deals are cut that undermine the interest of the people who pay the bills.

There is much to be done, and conservatives have the mandate to get it done, so shame on us if we don’t. We are a moral nation, where secularists are welcome. There is no such place as a secular nation, where the religious are welcome. November 2nd must be the beginning, not the end…

The Day After

Kerry Campaign Party Turns to Tears and Bitterness

By Marc Morano

November 03, 2004 Boston (CNSNews.com) - As President George Bush edged closer to the 270 electoral votes necessary to secure re-election, supporters of Democratic nominee John Kerry openly wept and consoled each other at the Election Night celebration in Boston's Copley Square. Some Kerry supporters called Bush's platform "all lies" and heckled a group of College Republicans who were passing through the crowd. A distraught woman confronted Democratic U.S. Rep. Harold Ford in the lobby of the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel and screamed, "Can you tell me why everybody made a mistake?" Ford responded, "Let me talk to the candidate before I make a comment. It's been a long day." Another woman standing near Ford began to openly weep at the prospect of a Kerry loss.

Former California Democratic governor Gray Davis spoke briefly with Ford and then essentially conceded the election to Bush and looked ahead to 2008. "We owe it to the people that we represent to reassess and try and fix what went wrong and come back with a winning coalition and strategy four years from now and try to figure out a way to win the country back," Davis said. When CNSNews.com asked why he had confidently predicted a Kerry victory just a few hours earlier, Davis responded, "I, like many people saw the exit polls, which saw Kerry ahead in every battleground state." "We believed they were a precursor of a great evening," a somber Davis explained. While Davis said he was "very proud of the campaign Kerry ran," he did criticize the party's efforts in southern states. "Part of [winning the White House] is certainly not writing off the South. It's too big a part of America just to concede to the other party and expect to win," Davis said. Davis praised Bush's re-election campaign. "The president has worked hard for his re-election since the moment he got to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Davis said. "He is surrounded by very smart people, they are very good practitioners of the art of politics," he added. 'It's all lies' Meanwhile, outside Kerry's Copley Square rally, a contingent of College Republicans from Northeastern University marched through the sea of Kerry supporters and got heckled. "You vote for Bush, you get what you deserve," shouted Kerry supporter Bob Bryant to the GOP contingent.

"Bush has put forward a platform that people tend to believe even though it's all lies. Bush is dishonest; he is not being honest with the American people," Bryant said. Another man shouted to the Republicans "This is why the rest of the world calls us ignorant Americans. You obviously don't read the newspapers or you would not believe as you do." A woman, unhappy the Republicans were there, screamed, "someone shut up those idiots.' Brian Henchey, one of the College Republicans marching through the crowd told CNSNews.com that he had "never seen more sad and depressed faces in my life than what I have seen here in Copley Square tonight." "I think our president is a strong man, he is a strong leader. He is what this country needs," said Megan, one of the GOP marchers. Kerry supporters from Ireland weighed in on why they believe Bush will likely be re-elected. "It clarifies the fact that American people aren't so smart. If I could, I would have voted for Kerry," said the woman.

Kerry Supporter Compares Conservatives to Hitler

By Marc Morano

CNSNews.com

Senior Staff Writer

November 03, 2004 Boston (CNSNews.com) - A supporter of Democratic nominee John Kerry compared conservatives to Adolf Hitler in a series of interviews with the media at the Democratic Election Night party in Boston's Copley Square. Joe Pulliam of Bedford Mass., said "Thomas Jefferson - liberal, Abraham Lincoln - liberal, Jesus - liberal, Adolf Hitler - conservative. Hey where do you stand?" Pulliam told CNSNews.com. "All of these people are making liberal sound like a dirty word. It's not. It's the thing that built this country. All of these conservatives that want to grab freedom and democracy -- it's not theirs, it's ours. It's liberalism that made this country," Pulliam added. Pulliam, who carried a sign stating, "Al Franken fans for Kerry," went on to decry what he called the "incompetence" of the Bush administration. "Where has there not been incompetence in this faith-based presidency? It's just all based on faith. Let's hope it all works out. Let's do the dumbest thing you can possibly do -- the worst answer to any question and hope it works out" he said. "It's the incompetency stupid," he added. Pulliam echoed many of the Kerry faithful gathered in Boston when he described his reaction to a possible Bush victory.

"I will be very disappointed, but shocked as well," he said.

Hillary 2008 Already in Gear

The outcome of yesterday's presidential election could determine whether Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton will have a chance to return her family to the White House.

A victory by President Bush could establish New York's junior senator as the front-runner for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president. A win by Democrat John F. Kerry could put off a run for the White House by the former first lady for at least eight years, and maybe forever, pollsters and strategists said.

"The speculation starts as soon as Bush is declared a winner, and not at all if Kerry is," said independent pollster Lee Miringoff, head of Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion.

New York's voters are split on a Clinton run for the White House. She continues to evoke strong feelings – positive and negative – the way she did during her 2000 Senate campaign.

Richard Stager, a retired machinist from Fayetteville, said he would support a Clinton run for president.

"It's time we had a woman president," the 73-year-old said after voting for Bush yesterday. "God only knows the men are running this country into the ground."

Bob Gibson, a 57-year-old retiree from New York City, reacted strongly to the suggestion of another Clinton presidency. Gibson is a Democrat who voted for Bush.

"I can't stand Hillary," he said. "She reminds me of my ex-wife; what a phony."

Clinton has said she would be happy if Kerry won, served two terms, and handed off to Sen. John Edwards, the vice presidential nominee, for two more terms.

"That would be great with me," she said shortly after the Democratic National Convention. "I want a Democratic White House for as long as we can have one."

"If Kerry wins, Hillary loses," declared Republican operative Nelson Warfield. "Do the math. She's fresh and 57 today. After Kerry runs for re-election [in 2008], she's 65 and old news."

But one top Clinton adviser, Harold Ickes, said yesterday that two terms for Kerry was "not a show-stopper" if the former first lady later decides she wants to run for the White House.

Ickes said he did not know if Clinton wanted to do that.

"There is a myth abroad that the Clintons really didn't want Kerry to win," Ickes said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. ... From the beginning they have wanted a Democratic president."

But a Bush win does mean "the Democrats will be in somewhat of a disarray. She's the most logical person to pick up the pieces," said Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic consultant who worked on President Clinton's 1996 re-election effort. "She has a national organization, a national fund-raising base, and she has the former president as her greatest ally."

Election Day!!

Bush Wins Big!!

Be Afraid

By Shawn Macomber

Published 11/2/2004 1:08:09 AM

Unfortunately, it appears that when Elizabeth Edwards speaks some people actually listen. This sad fact might be innocuous enough if the aspiring Second Lady were trading parenting or dieting tips. But instead semi-reformed former Deaniacs and Kucinich Kids seem to have latched onto Edwards' recent promise to a worried supporter that post-election riots will not wrack the nation -- so long as the Kerry-Edwards ticket walks away with it.

The suggestion, of course, is that there indeed will be riots if John F. Kerry's boyhood dreams of ascending to his rightful position as ruler of the universe are squashed by the result of today's voting. It is just such a scenario for which a group called No Stolen Elections is currently preparing. The newly-minted organization has already gotten more than 17,000 of the young and restless to sign the following pledge:

I remember the stolen presidential election of 2000 and I am willing to take action in 2004 if the election is stolen again. I support efforts to protect the right to vote leading up to and on Election Day, November 2nd. If that right is systematically violated, I pledge to join nationwide protests starting on November 3rd, either in my community, in the states where the fraud occurred or in Washington DC.

Among the better known John Hancocks adorning this pledge are those of Jesse Jackson, Michael Moore, Gloria Steinem, Howard Zinn, AFL-CIO Organizing Director Stewart Acuff, NAACP chairman Julian Bond, Daniel Ellsberg, Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb, and Barbara Ehrenreich, fresh from a stint as a New York Times substitute columnist. Oh, and clearly we wouldn't want to forget Adrienne Maree Brown, the dignified leader of the League of Pissed Off Voters.

So what exactly are these folks planning to make sure that "an unelected President does not enter the White House, like last time"? Well, the group has first of all established a "Fair Elections Advisory Council" of "international elections experts" to make a call on Election Day as to whether the vote was "stolen" again or not. If it has been -- and, let's face it, what are the chances any "international elections experts" are going to certify a Bush victory as just? -- No Stolen Elections will call its "Urgent Response Network" into action, "to converge in the states where the most serious fraud occurred, as well as in Washington DC." And the group is promising to make Florida circa 2000 look like a picnic.

"One thing that was missing from our side, but not from the conservative side, in 2000 was street heat," Steve Cobble writes on the group's website. "The GOP had their bourgeois riots, and their crowds were consistently bigger and more vocal, which helped frame in the media's mind the sense that their side had been wronged because Bush had won but Gore would not give up…We encourage people to work for regime change at home all day on November 2nd, election day, and then prepare to return to the streets on November 3rd (and perhaps beyond), at predetermined, symbolic, convenient locally-chosen sites."

All right, let's say what needs to be said: How bad can today's America really be if lazy lefty agitators can "work for regime change at home"? That's a pretty sweet gig compared to the depravities visited upon real activists with actual spines in countries such as Cuba -- a country, it is worth noting, the American hard-left continues to romanticize. Beyond that bit of absurdity, however, note that if Kerry wins the group has no interest in "counting every vote." Instead they suggest gathering instead to "celebrate Bush's involuntary retirement while also setting out a strong statement on the war in Iraq." Clearly, it is not the number of votes that concerns No Stolen Election, but the outcome. Are they interested in voter fraud if it results in a Kerry victory? Nope. These defenders of democracy will be too busy partying in the streets to riot over that.

In fact, No Stolen Elections' biggest fear seems to be that the saner elements in the Democratic Party will accept defeat. Cobble criticizes Gore for holding back activists in 2000, noting, "This was a mistake, and we don't believe the African American community or the unions will be willing to follow the campaign's lead again." Instead, Cobble said the activists will be in charge of these recounts.

"We must prod the Democratic Party to stand up this time, not just watch events occur in silence, as was largely the case in 2000," he writes. "We must encourage the few remaining respected blue-ribbon truth-tellers in our society to stand up and be counted -- people like Walter Cronkite, Jimmy Carter, Oprah Winfrey."

Oh, great. The inmates really are running the Democratic asylum this year, and they want to crown Jimmy Carter and Oprah Winfrey emperor and empress of U.S. elections. If we allow them to run the country, it won't be good for anyone. Before it's over George W. Bush could be in Siberian exile, while the much-despised Ralph Nader is forced to drive laps in a Ford Pinto while jeering activists hurl obscenities and tomatoes at him.

Brace yourself America. The aftermath of this election could be much worse than a floor covered in formerly hanging chads.

UPDATE: VOTES 'FOUND ON MACHINES' IN PHILLY BEFORE POLLS OPEN

Before voting even began in Philadelphia -- Republican poll watchers believed they found nearly 2000 votes already planted on machines scattered in heavy-minority locations throughout the city.

Republican poll watchers claim:

One incident occurred at the SALVATION ARMY, 2601 N. 11th St., Philadelphia, Pa: Ward 37, division 8.

Pollwatchers uncovered 4 machines with planted votes; one with over 200 and one with nearly 500...

A second location, 1901 W. Girard Ave., Berean Institute, Philadelphia, Pa, had 300+ votes already on 2 machines at start of day.

ANOTHER INCIDENT: 292 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 7/7: ADDRESS: 122 W. Erie Ave., Roberto Clemente School, Philadelphia, Pa..

ANOTHER: 456 votes on machine at start of day; WARD/DIVISION: 12/3; ADDRESS: 5657 Chew Ave., storefront, Philadelphia, Pa...

MORE...

The Kerry Campaign says reports of votes already on machines are 'false.'

"Serious news will not appear first on the DRUDGE gossip website," senior Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart told reporters.

Officially, election officials explain the discrepancy is being caused by a number showing how many times various machines have been used.

But officials could not explain why used machines in other locations were reportedly 'clean.'

Elsewhere, a gun was purposely made visible to scare poll watchers at Ward 30, division 11, at 905 S. 20th St., Grand Court. Police were called and quickly surrounded the location...

Would Kerry Sign bin Laden Non-Aggression Pact?

By Patrick Hynes

In fairness, Osama bin Laden’s latest message comes across more like an amalgam of Pat Buchanan’s The American Conservative magazine and obese low-budget filmmaker Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 911 than a John Kerry speech. In his video, bin Laden marries an isolationist worldview with a distorted and confused understanding of the facts.

“Your security is not in the hands of Kerry or Bush or Al Qaida. Your security is in your hands. Each state that doesn’t mess with our security has automatically secured their security,” the world’s most wanted terrorists told us, four days before the election. (One other thing became clear as a result of bin Laden’s latest tirade: he’s a babbling fool.)

At its core, bin Laden’s message offers Americans an olive branch, albeit a twisted, rotting one, covered with fire ants. You leave us alone, we’ll leave you alone, is his essential point. Is he trustworthy? If we pulled out of Iraq and the Middle East altogether could we count on perfect security?

Of course not.

But which candidate for president, Bush or Kerry, would be more likely to sign this non-aggression pact with the terror master? Undoubtedly, it is Kerry. And his frequent campaign utterances such as “the world is watching” during the final stretch of the race take on an ominous tone in light of bin Laden’s tape.

Kerry’s record in this regard shows him to be gullible, simple-minded, and easily manipulated in hands of evil men. Vladimir Lenin had a name for people like John Kerry, “useful idiots” he called them.

In 1970, while still a reserve officer with the U.S. Navy, John Kerry practiced self-appointed diplomacy and met with “both sides” of the Vietnam conflict in Paris. By “both sides” Kerry meant, of course, both sides of the Communist aggression, the delegations from North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. The details of his visit are still closely guarded secrets.

But shortly upon his return to the United States, John Kerry became an Executive Board member of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War and their public relations tool. He even testified before Congress. But more than one patriotic American recognized the talking points from which Kerry was speaking as he urged Americans and their politicians to end the Vietnam conflict: Kerry argued an end to the conflict on the Communist Vietnamese’ terms.

In essence, John Kerry lobbied Congress on behalf of our Communist enemies.

Kerry continued his dimwitted appeasement along the Central American front in the Cold War. As a candidate for the United States Senate in 1984, Kerry was a defense-cutting, no-nukes, Dukakis protégé, a dedicated enemy of Ronald Reagan’s foreign policy of containing the spread of international criminal Communism. But all the defense cuts, rhetoric, pickets and fear mongering he did in those days pales in comparison to the trip America’s Most Liberal Senator took to Nicaragua. “Senator Harkin and I,” Kerry said, “are going to Nicaragua as Vietnam-era veterans who are alarmed that the Reagan administration is repeating the mistakes we made in Vietnam." (Hmph, I didn’t know Kerry served in Vietnam. He should have made this a bigger issue in his campaign.)

Kerry cooled his jets in Daniel Ortega’s living room. Ortega, of course, was the head of the Sandinistas, the Communist regime run out of Havana and Moscow. Make no mistake, Ortega was a genuinely bad guy (still is.) His regime killed, imprisoned and harassed Christians, turned Catholic churches into Communist classrooms, banned any semblance of a free press and attempted to export brutal Communism to El Salvador.

Ortega promised Kerry he would adopt a ceasefire with the Contras and open negotiations toward free and fair elections if the United States rejected the Contras request for military and monetary aid. Again, we find Kerry essentially lobbying for a Communist thug in Congress. “The real question is, does this administration want to pursue negotiations, or is it committed to force?”

The Democrats in Congress, led by Kerry, accepted Ortega’s non-aggression pact. Shortly thereafter Daniel Ortega flew to Moscow and accepted one of those gigantic novelty checks to be used toward murderous weapons in the cause of spreading Communism.

It doesn’t end there. In his 1997 book The New War, John Kerry called Yasser Arafat a “statesmen,” while acknowledging he was, at one time anyway, a bad guy. So Kerry believed anti-Semitic, anarchical terrorist tigers can change their stripes. Is his assessment of Osama bin Laden as malleable?

This is not some defect of Kerry’s past life. Just this summer, Kerry called the rotten-toothed fanatic Muqtada al Sadr a “legitimate voice” in Iraq. This is the same al Sadr who urges death to Jews and to Americans daily.

Kerry looks at awful, murderous people and says hey, let’s talk this thing out. We at crushkerry.com are not prepared to believe Kerry is some Manchurian candidate, bent on giving America’s enemies another bite at our apple. But he is a naïf and a dimwitted cosmopolitan who does not understand that there are evil men in this world and they must be stopped.

And that is why Kerry must be stopped. If he wins, Americans will have signed an ill-advised non-aggression pact with Osama bin Laden and his al Qaida network of terrorists.
