I'm on my way out the door and don't have the time right now to find the article and link it...(will do it later.) But in this mornng's Dallas Morning News...."hidden" within the context of another story was pertinenet information about Bill Burkett sending the Kerry campaign some "unnamed info" after talking with them on the phone on August 20th. On Aug 21, Burkett sent an e-mail out to 600 Texas Democrats saying that he had spoken with Max Cleland at the Kerry campaign and told him that he (Burkett) had info they could use to counter attack the Swift Boat Vets. Cleland turned him over to someone else at the Kerry campaign.

I'll link the article later...when I get back. But looks like we could have our connection to the Kerry campaign here on these forged documents.

over for Kerry. But just in case he has any life left, this will be the death blow.

Burkett + Cleland + Kerry = McGovern


simple math hehehe

I'm back.

I went to the DallasNews.com website and found the article. However....this is rather strange. The article on their website, while including MOST of the entire article that appeared in print this morning......LEAVES OUT THE LAST PART....WHICH IS THE PART I TOLD YOU ABOUT ABOVE. I will include the on-line version below. But I will also type up for you, the part that was left out for some reason. BTW. I also noticed that other papers picked up the "Guard Commander Lauded Bush" story....but left out the part about Burkett, Cleland and the Kerry campaign. More liberal bias? Here's the part they left out of the on-line version:

"Bill Burkett, a former Texas Air National Guard officer reported by some media outlets to be the source oof the documents, unsucessfully offered information and advice to help John Kerry's campaign attack Mr. Bush, according to a posting Mr. Burkett wrote in an e-mail newsletter.
"I spent some time on the phone with the Kerry campaign seniors yesterday," Mr. Burkett wrote on Aug. 21 in an e-mail letter circulated to about 600 Texas Democrats.
"I talked with Max Cleland," Mr. Burkett continued, referring to the former senator form Georgia who has been working on Mr. Kerry's behalf.
Mr. Burkett then wrote that he offered the campaign information it could use to "counterattack" a veterans group's attacks on Mr. Kerry's Vietnam service.
He did not specifiy what information he provided. Mr. Burkett has said in the past that he saw Bush aides destroying parts of the Texas governnor's Guard record in 1998, which Bush aides strongly deny.
Mr. Cleland said that he referred Mr. Burkett to someone else in the Kerry campaign. Officials said Mr. Burkett's message was set aside amid a deluge of other calls. "

Here's another story on it in the Washington Post. In this one, Burkett says he gave the information, that he says could counter attack the Swift Boat Vets, to the Kerry campaign.

You guys actually think this is going to effect the campaign? You must be really desperate. Stuff like this blows over. To the American Public this is just another scandal. Do you think people actually vote based on this crap? Maybe giddy republicans with too much time online, but not Joe Six Pack. Joe Six Pack looks at how he has been affected.

There are too many people pissed off at the War in Iraq and all the scandals and foul ups in Bush' administration. Kerry can do anything he wants and still get elected. You guys may not like it, but a lot of the nation is in the 'anybody but Bush' mode. It may not be an informed choice, but theres nothing you can really do about it except whine all the time, post articles bashing Kerry, trying to find any shred of evidence that the economy isnt going down the crapper, yes it is going down the crapper, or just refuse to accept that Bush may lose. Thats basically all I see these days on this board. People thinking every little mistake Kerry mistakes will be the "last nail in the coffin."
Keep on wishin guys, maybe if you click your heels together and wish loud enough Bush might win. Thats just about as much as you can do.

I guess you haven't been reading the polls lately. Just be sure to come back in November for your heaping helping of crow sandwich.

It's the Democrats and John Kerry who keeps stepping on their "you know what." I think they knew full-well the stuff was bogus, but passed it off anyway. And they'd better be real careful here. Not only will this loose cannon, Bill Burkett, have no problem phishing all over them to save his arse, Dan Rather just may come to his senses and stop covering for them as well.

And you're wrong if you think Joe Six-Pack doesn't notice....or care. The common man in this country has a pretty good feel for what is right and what is wrong. And in no way will they support these kinds of "dirty tricks." And personally....I'm enjoying the heck out of the whole thing. Watching arrogant Dan Rather.....who has hounded poltiicians all his life for being "dishonest" and/or "covering up" .......lose what integrity he had left is rewarding in and of itself. He's going out as disgraced as Richard Nixon did. And watching this "dirty trick" backfire on the Democrats is extremely enjoyable.

I love how liberals refer to "Joe Six-pack" like they understand him....

Here is a relevation to you lefties...

I AM JOE SIX-PACK... and Kerry HAD a chance for my vote but anytime anyone questions anything about the Waffle Man.. they get attacked by people like neo...

Also, Joe Six-Pack don't like to be lied to or accused of being "dumb" (see Dan Rather.. Micheal Moore)

I think you lefties in your ivory towers forget just who fights and dies for your right to bash anything you see fit... Joe Six-Pack

I think you lefties forget what is important to Joe Six-Pack.. his family, his country, his god(not me but to each six-pack, his own...)

I think you lefties forget who is supporting President Bush.. JOE SIX-PACK.. aka Nascar Dad...

BTW NEO, if you ONLY talk to whack-job liberals... as most liberals do... Then OF COURSE everybody you know is in ABB mode... the rest of the country.. you know the people that lefties like you spend your life ridiculing.... are SWIFTLY entering ABK mode... ANYBODY BUT KERRY...

Face it, you gots thought you were getting a gold trimmed hybrid electric Caddy.. instead you got a LEMON!!! Shame there isn' a lemon law in politics.. you could ask for your nomination back and give it to Howard Dean like you originally wanted until the liberal media stepped in... How far ahead would you lefties be if DEAN was the nominee... think about that lefty and if you aren't angry about being manipulated by people like Chris Matthews and Dan Rather then you are being foolish and niave...

Joe Six-Pack indeed.. it is the bandying about of terminology like that which will insure your defeat in November...

YOU tell 'em Sinanju!! Great post.
And you're right. There's a certin amount of snobbish, elitist attitude among liberals. You can see it in the way they constantly demean our president because he sometimes mangles the English language. AS IF....John Kerry doesn't too. You can see it in the way they talk down to people....as if they are talking to 2nd graders. What Dan Rather, and the Kerry campaign and Terry McAulliffe thought was that Joe Six-Pack was too stupid to notice forgeries. But it was regular bloggers who discovered immediately what was being hoisted on the public. Ex-Military guys, like my husband, noticed immediately on seeing the documents in the paper that they were questionable. In fact, in our family, it was noticed even BEFORE it got on the news. And I think that was happening all over America. Guess Dan, CBS, McAulliffe, and the Kerry campaign found out not everybody is as DUMB as they think!!!!
