Kerry supporter advocates dirty tricks
2004-02-09
NY Daily News. EFL
One of [haughty, French-looking] Sen. John Kerry’s celebrity supporters is ready to pull out all the stops to get him elected. Republicans are shrieking over a suggestion by rocker Moby that Democrats spread gossip about President Bush on the Internet.
They're not doing that now?
"No one’s talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day," Moby tells us. "It’s a lot easier than you think and it doesn’t cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes." Moby suggests that it’s possible to seed doubt among Bush’s far-right supporters on the Web. "You target his natural constituencies," says the Grammy-nominated great white whale techno-wizard. "For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms in your troll suit and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion. . . ."
And of course, Bush supporters, being as dumb as he is, would believe that right off the bat. Just like we believe everything Fizzle sez...
Moby didn’t claim that he believed the abortion story. . . .
According to the story, a Kerry spokseperson declined to condemn the proposed tactics, or to distance the senator from his cetacean supporter.

Anyone got a harpoon handy?

#12  This is really too good to be true. Kerry running on his war record, yet you gotta know his anti-war record will stick out like Hanoi Jane on an S-60 emplacement. I hope Rove and Co. holds back just a little longer. Let them get their Marxist base energized. Then go in for the kill, say, around October.

This may be the year the leftists who brought us the sixties will be finally and fully discredited.

Go Kerry!! Tell us more!!

2004 will be such a fun year!

#11  Ye Fools! Muck4doo is pretty obviously Frank J. of IMAO.US fame. He's been spending way, way too much time over at DU lately... it's obviously become some sort of sick fascination. Frank, come back to the light Frank!

#10  Thanks for the AJC article. I'm sending to our local liberal newspaper in hopes of publishing it.
This is one Nam vet who hasn't forgotten.

#9  Ah, Moby. Bought a cd once. Decent tunes, but the booklet was full of the most laughably self-righteous little essays I've ever seen. This guy is a fourteen-year-old girl trapped in the balding, pasty body of a 3x-year-old man.

#8  You cold hearted bastards, Senator Kerry was hit by half a
C-130Vs (the Flying Vineyard) load of Agent Grape. And yet you laugh, and play and sing! You have no Hustle. Remember every private carries a Kerry in his backback. Remember to recycle your metals.

And yes! I once say a C-130V (Flying Vineyard) shot at by a SunBurn.

#7  Good article, GK. Terry Garlock's pretty polite about Kerry's record, though.

John Kerry had just finished his military duty when I began serving mine; and I vividly remember his anti-war schtick, complete with medal-throwing and bogus accusations of atrocities committed by American soldiers.

The word that occurred to me back then was one commonly used in the military to denote one who'd turned his back on his fellow soldiers and let them down: buddyfucker.

To me, that's what John Kerry will always be.

#6  Schmuck You REALLY don't want to get into a dirty-tricks war with the Repubs.

Let's face it - in a battle of wits, the Dems are defenceless.

#5  Rex, muck4doo is probably sober, but he is handicapped by an "Esteem" oriented liberal education, a keyboard with no shift key, and no interest in spell checking. If he denies any of that, then you must be right.

#4  Looking for a harpoon, Mike? Try using Terry Garlock's Column in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution,1/29/04: (Kerrys)Vietnam stance irks veterans
It begins:
Now that U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is claiming the veteran vote based on his war record, both sides of that story should be told. To appreciate the dark side of Kerry's war record, you should know a few things about Vietnam veterans. The public and the press make a mistake when they divide us into decorated veterans like Kerry and then all the others....

When the very dark side of Kerry starts circulating around the internet, there may be more Bush voters than Moby anticpates.
You may have to use refresh to get the article to appear.

#2  Oooooooooooooh! Moby's talking! Let's all listen...
