Dem double Standard

Classic analysis of the Dem's double standard on Moore and Kerry

I'M sure John Kerry must have de manded that the Democratic Party condemn Michael Moore and "Fahrenheit 911" for attacking President Bush.
He must have said he would disassociate himself from both the movie and the director because of the numerous deceptions and outright lies contained in that "documentary." He must have characterized Moore's attempt to denigrate the president as a "fear and smear" campaign. Right?

After all, with the release of "Unfit For Command," which casts doubt on the veracity of Kerry's Vietnam War recollections, we see a candidate, a party and a left-leaning media demanding that president Bush condemn author John O'Neill.
Since fair is fair, I suppose that O'Neill should get a seat of honor at next week's Republican convention — like Moore sitting next to former president Jimmy Carter when the Democrats convened in Boston. Right?

In reality, the senator and his soulmates are furious that anyone would dare to question a combat veteran's (John Kerry's) memories of war — and they express that fury by questioning a combat veteran's (John O'Neill's) memories of war.
Michael Moore remains above reproach, but John O'Neill is an unmitigated liar. A hypocritical double-standard? Right!

Dems Cheat AGAIN and the Media Ignores the Story

Dem voter fraud unearthed again and the mainstream media ignores it.

N.Y. Daily News Unearths 'Stunning' Democrat Vote Fraud
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - About 46,000 people, most of them Democrats, are illegally registered to vote in New York City and in Florida, the liberal New York Daily News reported today.

"The finding is even more stunning given the pivotal role Florida played in the 2000 presidential election, when a margin there of 537 votes tipped a victory to George W. Bush."
And the investigation doesn't include other states or even the suburbs of New York.
The pro-Kerry paper said that efforts to prevent such fraud "rely mostly on the honor system." That's a serious flaw when people who have no honor are involved.
Sixty-eight percent of those registered to vote in both states are Democrats. Sixteen percent did not list a party, and only 12 percent are Republicans.
The paper determined that 400 to 1,000 New Yorkers had voted twice in at least one election, "a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine."

Media Ignored Kerry's 527 Connections

Typical double standard with the media to hammer Bush on connections to a
miniscule 527 and ignore MILLIONS from Dem 527s and connections to Kerry
campaign.

Robert Bauer Refuses to Quit Kerry or Pro-Kerry 527
Joe Sandler, Zach Exley and Jim Jordan aren't the only 527 Kerryites getting a pass from the establishment.
Most of the media gushing over the resignation of lawyer Benjamin Ginsberg from President Bush's campaign are downplaying or refusing to report that Robert Bauer, national counsel to Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign, also works for the Bush-hating, pro-Kerry 527 group that calls itself America Coming Together.
Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" this morning noted the extreme hypocrisy of most media on this double standard. But it's just one more example of how Big Media ignores Kerry's ties to leftist 527s that have spent tens of millions of dollars on ads attacking Bush, and even overlooks the links Kerry boasts about.

Crewmates say Kerry Lied About Cambodia

The "mainstream media" will ignore this story, but Kerry's crewmates from the
Dem convention say they never went to Cambodia. Kevin

John Kerry's presidential campaign claimed on Tuesday that his Christmas 1968 mission into Cambodia was top, top secret - and that's why there are no documents that verify the implausible claim."During John Kerry's service in Vietnam, many times he was on or near the Cambodian border and on one occasion crossed into Cambodia at the request of members of a special operations group operating out of Ha Tien," Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said in a statement. But Meehan told the Boston Globe that there was no paperwork to confirm the claim and he could not supply a date for the incursion.
What's more, two of Kerry's crewmates who enthusiastically back his candidacy and who served with him on missions near the Cambodian border insists the crossing never happened.
Michael Medeiros, who served on Swiftboat No. 94 with Kerry and appeared with him at the Democratic National Convention, told the Globe that Kerry and his crew chased an enemy to the Cambodian border - but stooped there. He could not recall dropping off special forces in Cambodia or going inside Cambodia with Kerry.
James Wasser, who accompanied Kerry on the Christmas mission aboard Swiftboat No. 44, said that while he believes they were "very, very close" to Cambodia, they did not enter the country. "It is very hard to tell. There are no signs," he told the Globe.
A third crewmate who opposes Kerry flatly accuses him of lying about Cambodia.
"Never happened," Steve Gardner told the Globe, insisting they never came within 50 miles of the Cambodian border.

Iraqi Good News

Good news out of Iraq we never hear about. Kevin

For the sake of American soldiers, a congressman is calling on news organizations to begin reporting the "other side of the story" in Iraq.
"It is one that demonstrates what can happen when people taste freedom," says Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, who has twice traveled to Iraq. "And I can tell you firsthand that what is being reported by the mainstream media does not accurately reflect the day-to-day acts of goodwill toward the Iraqi people," he says. "I can tell you that what the troops told me did not sound remotely similar to the non-stop negative stories being promoted by the major media sources."
With Saddam Hussein no longer in power, the congressman cites more than 170 newspapers that are now being published in Iraq without restrictions on free speech. More than 3,700 schools have been renovated, he says, and more than 9 million new math and science textbooks printed and distributed "with the pro-Saddam propaganda extracted." He calls attention to Iraq's new $1 billion healthcare budget — 25 times greater than the $16 million annual budget under Saddam's reign. Already, 85 percent of Iraqi children have been immunized.
"Why don't we hear any of this in the media?" Mr. King asks.

Partisan Press

Some reporters admit the bias in their reactions to the Kerry and Bush
speeches was unacceptable. Kevin

The historic Unity convention in Washington is over but what it is being remembered for, at least in some corners of the media, is not the huge turnout of more than 7,000, but controversy over the alleged partisanship shown by many of the attendees in responding to separate speeches by presidential candidates Bush and Kerry.Commentary on this issue continued over the weekend and into Monday.John Temple, editor of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, praised the meeting overall and said he was "inspired" by it -- but noted in a column that the partisanship (evidenced by "cheering and whistling" during Kerry's speech) was "something I had never experienced in a crowd of journalists."Helen Ubinas, another attendee, wrote in The Hartford (Conn.) Courant that she was "in the minority, as it were" who acted like "a professional, not a partisan" in responding to Kerry. There was snickering during Bush's address and the crowd rose at the end, "but not for much longer than it took to head to the door." Ubinas' explanation: Kerry connects with the "advocacy side" of Unity journalists. But showing preference for one candidate, she added, "is the ultimate betrayal -- to everyone."Akilah Johnson, a reporter at the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Delray Beach, Fla., told USA Today, "It was a little awkward for me. I guess a lot of people were acting like citizens, not reporters." Unity President Ernest Sotomayer pointed out that many Unity members, including those who were covering the event or planned to report on it later, did not cheer. Those who did, he said, are "people who vote, and they have a right to express themselves" when they're not working. But Seattle Times reporter Florangelea Davila told her paper, "It was so offensive and awful, and I hated it. It was clearly inappropriate. It was ridiculous." Houston Chronicle Suburban Editor Pete McConnell said he was "embarrassed" by the crowd reactions to Bush and Kerry: "As a group we should have kept ourselves in check." Bob Steele, ethics expert at the Poynter Institute, called public outbursts favoring one candidate "unprofessional and unethical." Others pointed out that some of those cheering on Kerry were with his campaign or were attending the convention but were not journalists. And not all journalists at the Unity meeting work for the mainstream media. Some are employed by the alternative and advocacy press. Others are columnists who are paid to express their opinions.

Iraq WMDs

So, now we know that Jordan and Egypt both told us he definitely had WMDs...as
well as most other countries, the UN and the Clinton Administration. Who
says Bush lied again??? Kevin

Jordan's King Abdullah and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak personally assured Gen. Tommy Franks that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction within two months of the U.S.'s attack, the former Centcom Commander revealed on Tuesday. "The Jordanians have reliable intelligence and sources in Iraq that say, in fact, that Saddam Hussein has biological and chemical weapons," Franks said King Abdullah told him.
The Jordanian king passed the WMD intelligence on to Franks during a face-to-face meeting in Jan. 2003.
A warning from Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was even stronger, Franks said.
In his book "American Soldier," the ex-Centcom chief quotes Mubarak saying, "You've got to be very, very careful, general. We have spoken with Saddam Hussein. He is a madman. He has weapons of mass destruction, biological weapons. And he will use them against your troops."
"A number of other leaders in the Mideast told us he had them, too," Franks told Hannity, adding, "If you were president of the United States, could you avoid paying attention to that?"

Quote of the Day

Tom Delay on Kerry calling for a special session of the House and
Senate...hilarious !

"That's pretty tough talk from a guy who has fewer days at work this year than he has houses," stated House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. "He's not been around here during our regular session; what makes anyone think he'll be here for a special session?"
