They showed the clip of Bush using the word "sensitive" about 10:10 PM EDT last night, here's the transcript:

1. Kerry should turn it back on them
say something like, Boy they really gave me a bunch of flak for using the word sensitive when Bush used the very same word, sensitive, with regard to the very asme subject. But, and this is the key, that the media puts it in thier high play news bite loop!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. They should never have taken the BAIT from Cheney in the first place
And don't TRY and tell me it took them 12 hours to find Bush using the word sensitive...

F CNN!

F CNN!

F CNN!

They are NOT a news organization with true journalists anymore.

5. Its the one I saw. It may have been shown earlier,
We should restrict our complaints to actual provable incidents of bias or we will just look silly.

3. CNN has some really good things on it
and some reallt terrible things on it. It's not just that they give a wide range of opinions, which in and of itself would be great. But it's things like Aaron Brown cutting off Robert Kennedy, Jr's appearance at the last minute, because he "didn't want any 'Bush bashing'," that frustrates many of us.

4. Until it is on Headline News when people are actually watching
I don't care what they do.

Same for the WP and the NYT, until they start putting their hardhitting pieces on A1 not B18, I don't give a shit what they say.

6. Since it was found out that Bush used the word "sensitive"
twice in his speeches, we won't be hearing much about Cheney's whining about Kerry. LOL!

7. And it took them how
long? And will it be repeated over and over or just airing it a couple of times enough for them to think they did their job? Any damage that the administration wanted to do is done already and the Bush* people know that and knew it before they did it. It's just get something out because the flak will be nothing in comparison to the damage they want to inflict.

8. We must not lose of sight of why Bush repeatedly harps on Kerry's IWR vote
Edited on Fri Aug-13-04 11:23 AM by flpoljunkie
But just among Democrats, 74 percent call the war a mistake and the White House thinks the more Senator Kerry has to explain his vote, the more anti-war Democrats might become disillusioned with his candidacy.
