Even Head Freepers Admit There's Nothing to the Monday Breaking Story
Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 01:25 PM by jefferson_dem
Idiot Bill at INDC blog who first helped pump up the story is now looking to quash the hype. Damn, they are so desperate for something...anything. Alas, their hopes will be dashed again.

Check this out --

Speaking of "lies," keep an eye on the front page of the Washington Times this coming Monday.

UPDATE: It's something that the Kerry campaign will be forced to address regarding a previous criticism of Bush's foreign policy. That's all that I'm saying.

If it really, really, REALLY, helps him blow the election, I am content to wait. ( can't resist - anything to do with campaign contributions and suspect foreign connections?)

It's not huge, but it's interesting.

1. as I posted on the other thread...
...I followed some links to their blogs. Here's what they have to say.

Cryptic Alert
Speaking of "lies," keep an eye on the front page of the Washington Times this coming Monday.UPDATE: It's something that the Kerry campaign will be forced to address regarding a previous criticism of Bush's foreign policy. That's all.UPDATE: Redstate is my source for the fact that the WaTimes is running with the story. More detail when the story breaks.

Stay tuned for Monday morning, folks. A story will break that the Kerry campaign will have to respond to. Call it another chapter in the story of John Kerry making stuff up. And while RedStaters didn't write a single word of it -- I'm proud to say that some folks involved in this site (and at least one other blogger) certainly pointed in the right direction. (More on that later.)

http://www.redstate.org/story/2004/10/23/83256/635


from indc.com:

Reading between the lines it seems this story has to do with something Kerry has been saying about the Bush campaign relating to foreign policy that turns out not to be true. It could be a Vietnam-era issue (Bush records that show he was where everyone knows he was or Kerry records showing he wasn't discharged properly, or actually authored the after-action reports), but it seems from what everyone is saying that it has to do with something Kerry has been saying about Bush.So what are Kerry's primary attacks/lies on Bush's foreign policy? That we go-it-alone (don't see how anything new could be unearthed there), that we moved resources from Afghanistan to Iraq and took our eye off the Usama ball (maybe there's something addressing this, but I hardly see how a devastating piece of new news can come out of it considering we already know Kerry supported the Tora Bora strategy at the time), and that we got diverted by Iraq (again, old news that Kerry has contradicted himself about 50 times on this issue).

4. I heard something about Kerry gettin a General Discharge
I forget where I read that but it said something about Kerry not getting an honorable discharge for some techincal reason. Maybe thats what its about.

7. Kerry's DD214 is on his website
and it clearly reads "Honorable Discharge." The DD214 is the final answer on such issues.

bush's DD214, meanwhile, has never surfaced.


Hmmmmm.

3. If the Washington Times printed everything Bush is saying
about Kerry that is a lie, they would not have any room to print anything else.

6. I'ts Tora Bora
I read a snippet in an article today from a Bush spokesman about Kerry praising Tora Bora. They're going to take a snippet from a 12/02 CNN interview and try to make it sound like Kerry was praising Tora Bora. The question was about flamethrowers and napalm, NOT Afghan warlords. At that time, we didn't even know they were using warlords instead of our troops for the final push in the mountains. I imagine this is what it is.
