BTW- RW radio is abuzz about ABC not airing the threat tape

[underpants]

AS I was running errands for GOTV today I heard this as one of the main topics on RW radio (Rush and local idiot). Aside from furiously trying to put the explosives behind them (It is working with their listeners) they are PO'ed that ABC won't comply and scare the bejeesus out of everyone with 6 days left.

The short on this is that ABC got a tape warning of emminent attacks so ABC sent it to the FBI and CIA to authenticate. There was an LBN thread this morning that it had NOT been authenticated yet. Well Drudge cites a "senior federal official" (federal?) well at least he DID-I can't get the first version of his story to come up now and he has added that ABC withheld parts of the tape from the CIA-see here: http://www.drudgereport.com/

Well the RW radio listeners are furious about ABC not airing this. For the life of him the local idiot host can't see that it would benefit W or Kerry (yes he is that stupid and unaware or unwilling to admit the campaign of fear that W&Co. have engaged in over the last three years).

The Christian Science Monitor says it has still not been authenticated as of press time.

1. That's hilarious, considering they've spent 3+ years...

...insuring that *no* threat tapes are ever aired on the networks. I guess since their strategy is to try to scare people, they need one on TV now...

2. So the networks are wrong to run unverified info when it hurts shrubby

and right to run unverified info when it might cause a nationwide panic and scare people into voting for shrubby?

That's Republican logic for ya.

4. Exactly!!!!!

I thought that this had been discredited...and that's why ABC isn't running the video/news.
