okay, I'm still dumbstruck. Could you imagine if there was video of Kerry
giving a television camera a "one fingered victory salute"?

Can you imagine how many times they'd show it on television?

Can you imagine how many WEEKS it would be the only thing the pundicks would talk about?

I'm still just stunned at this video.

We all know, we just KNOW that if Kerry had done this, he'd be completely dead. They would crucify him.

It just boggles my mind. Boggle, boggle, boggle .......

1. I'm used to it...
The double-standard for dems vs. rethugs. It's been going on for so long, I barely get irritated anymore. I should, but it's so consistant, you could set your clock to it.

17. no sh*t, the same desensitization process has happened to me, also
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 03:41 AM by RegularBrad
i saw that, and barely reacted

it's W., and his stooge supporters could watch him kill a puppy, and they'd just shrug and laugh

i believe Kerry will win decisively, but ... in the unlikely event he doesn't ... i will cease to believe in God

3. When he was gov. of Texas
Doesn't matter. Can you imagine Senator Kerry doing such a thing a few years ago and not being declared DOA in this race?

5. It's just like the one clip of where he's drinking and drunk.
Nobody ever says anything about that one either.

23. Also, it's a clip after he SUPPOSEDLY found Christ! That's
what's so shocking!

6. Well, it's the same media....
that never showed us the video of Bush sitting on his ass reading while we being attacked on 9/11.

They were only forced to address it because of F-911. US media sucks dong.

28. And the same media
who never showed footage of * being protested and gettng pelted with crap on his way to his swearing-in ceremony.

Is there anyone who knew about that before F 9/11? :shrug:

9. Can you imagine if there were a lump under Kerry's jacket instead?
I'll bet you've practically forgotten about the very legitimate question about the lump. Nothing against you in particular, but for some reason that story had no real legs.

This is just more of the same.

10. I have "scandal fatigue" with this prez
and I think that's part of his M.O. He just keeps hitting us with so many disasters, so many lies, so many scandals, that it's impossible to keep up and he therefore gets away with them.

Anybody remember the case of the republicans who infiltrated the computers of the Democrats and stole all their stuff?

Whatever happened to that?

The memory hole, that's what

18. NONE of the stories about Bush has legs. It's the most amazing
thing I have ever seen. I tell people Bush could murder a baby on the White House lawn and not a ripple would appear in the media.

25. Take it easy, man
We're all tense right now, but there's still five more days to go. Keep some perspective.

Of course, I say this as a total hypocrite, considering my partner and I had a knock down, drag out fight over the damn Gallup polls last weekend...

12. But the press is so biased toward the left.....
When I first heard about this photo this morning, I thought big deal; these people will vote for this lying criminal no matter what. But that image is repugnant--shows his true inner self!! What is media going to do with this? How about Stewart? Olbersenn? Crossfire? (LOL)

14. Along with the inevitable questions it raises about "stability"
...and "character".

Yeah. The media is in Bush's beady-eyed little bag. So, what else is new.

19. This SHOULD be an issue and it WILL interest some media people, so

blast it out there to everyone. Don't forget Letterman, though he's in re-runs this week. Try Leno, too. More people watch those shows than watch news, apparently.

21. It would make a nice ad: "This is what Bush says to Those who disagree
with him. Restore respect to the White House and vote Kerry"

tee hee

22. It's sickening, but I'm used to it.
Everything from as small as this to as large as the 9/11 coverup gets ignored, while they continue to broadcast confirmed lies about Kerry.

If the media did its job, then we'd probably never have to worry about another neocon administration in Washington ever again. Sadly, that's not the case.

26. Ah, yes ...
... the man Republicans say they are voting for because "he is a good, Christian man being humbly led by God."

Uh-huh. Hey Repugs ... I've got some swampland in Jeb and Columba Bush's backyard to sell you, too!

33. What if Kerry was wearing a "box" on his back during the debates?
The reality is that the media protects this fake pResident from any real questioning and supports him for their own benefit. PERIOD.
