Deja Vu - a Kerry Bimbo eruption

.

that it was The Drudge Report that first brought to light Clinton's escapades with Monica.

Whil you may not like him or what he reports, Drudge muckraking is generally pretty accurate.

Ed, even the Weekly World News occasionally publishes something that's actually true, but I wouldn't call them a reliable source either.

But if you take the time to look back over the Drudge Report record you will find that his accuracy record is really pretty impressive. The same can't be said of most other "Tabloid" publications.

I was wondering when someone would get around to the Kennedys. Seems like all Kerry has going for him is his war record, which as one member pointed is a bucket full of Lies. Everything else that spills out seems to have the Kennedy political chant, but not the
convincing punch.

I wonder how much of Kerry is Kerry, and not Kennedy.

Just an opinion from watching him on TV.

... return fire from the left? How about the non-stop Bush bashing fests called Democrat primary debates? Bush lied. Bush AWOL. Bush puppet of neocon puppetmasters. Bush cowboy. Bush lied. Bush is stupid. Bush doesn't read. Halliburton/Enron/Big Oil helping Bush warm the earth. And on and on and on and on.

I'm not sure this situation has any relevance, but if supposedly liberal men hold the superior ground on how women should be respected and treated, it sure would be a disgusting way for Kerry to treat Teresa don't ya think? Clintonoids were all on board smearing Drudge and Monica until that blue dress turned up. Until then, plan was full steam ahead to destroy Lewinsky as an opportunistic mentally disturbed stalker obsessed with Clinton and those ******** sessions were just figments of her overactive imagination.

"Bush doesn't read" comes from his own people, not the Democrats. "Bush lied" and the Halliburton/Enron/Big Oil stuff are legitimate policy concerns (even if they all turn out not to be true).

I'm not interested in debating anything that appears "exclusively" in the Drudge Report or Newsmax.

What policy? You can't say that, if the left attacks, it's policy, and anything else is not worth responding to.

Hi Josh,

The Bush doesn't read -- the NYT, Wash Post, etc. -- did indeed come from him. The stretch to imply that the man is out of touch because he doesn't get his information to form foreign policy, etc. from the liberal mainstream papers. The old Bush is stupid smear tactic. See Gearup's recent post of Conason's drivel.

Hi Evie:

I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that a guy who gets all his news from his own staff might miss a few things.

As far as his intelligence goes, his grades are a matter of record (even if they were at Yale); the rest is usually uttered with tongue-in-cheek, at least I think so. Even you've admitted that his verbal skills leave a bit to be desired. His command of the English language is not as "exemplarary" as the Texas school system.

And as smear tactics go, that's the very business the Drudge Report and Newsmax are in. If you're willing to use them as sources, why complain?

I can't believe that CNN got again after the first time. But what really shocks/upsets me is that it was John Zarrella. We were friends at CNN and when I knew him there he wouldn't have ever considered faking a news story like that. He wasn't a "babe in the woods" on the subject of weapons AIR.

What we have here, J., is "selective attention" when the miscreant is an outfit on your hit list. Y'all just don't mention when the miscreant is an oufit you favr. For example, the Washington Times had to make two major retractions in about a month late last year, one for falsely accusing an Oregon-based Muslim outfit of having terrorist ties, and anoter for claiming that a organization seeking more low-cost housing used Federal funds to pay for demonstrations. I don't recall anyone here ragging about how unreliable the Times is!

some sort of code?

Hi, KP.

I was born in Washington DC (south of the Mason-Dixon line) but have now been in Texas for almost exactly 24 years. I do use "y'all" occasionally in informal speech, but would never do so in formal writing or speaking. But unlike some Southerners, I exclusively use it as a plural form, to differentiate a singular from a plural "you."

Nonsense, Dave, you said, "What we have here, J., is "selective attention" when the miscreant is an outfit on your hit list. Y'all just don't mention when the miscreant is an oufit you favr.".
You were addressing me, and there is just one of me. Then you said "you favr" instead of "y'all favr". Who is the other forum member here who worked at CNN, let alone another one who was one of the original employees? "Selective attention"? What a crock, I knew him quite well personally, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why it caught my eye.
BTW, gang, the Mason-Dixon line was drawn between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Hagerstown Maryland is south of that line. BTW, in case you don't remember a post that I made a couple of years ago, some farmer plowing his fields on the PA-MD line recently uncovered one of the original survey markers. How about them apples?

Hi, J.

I wasn't just addressing you -- there have been several messages by you and Ed for sure, and several others whose posters I can't specifically recall, gleefully calling attention to errors by supposedly liberal news media. There have been no similar messages from the same posters calling attention to the more frequent and more egregious errors by conservative news sources -- Faux News didn't get that miniker for nothing, but y'all continue to claim it's superior factually (to say nothing of the nonsensical claim of "more balanced") vs. CNN, frinstance.

Regarding your statement: ... unlike some Southerners, I exclusively use it as a plural form, to differentiate a singular from a plural "you."
I have NEVER heard a Southerner use "y'all" as anything but a plural. Not once. I have, however, heard Yankees make that mistake.

the thrust here was that "major news sources" need to be checked and the info they present verified before blind acceptance every bit as much as NewsMax or The Drudge Report.

Since you seem to be aware of this why is it that you never do it?

Like KiddPeat I have often wondered if your y'all is infused with a Boston twang.
