The Coming Hit on Kerry

INDC is apparently in the know, and hints as much in the comments (although he won't give it up).

From the Unpopulist, who compiles speculation from around the blogosphere.

And Bill from INDC isn't the only one in the know. RedState will be featuring the story's author, guest-blogging through the week. He also says it will be breaking on Drudge tonight.

Now, the question: how do I get to be in the know? What's a guy have to do to demonstrate his pro-Bush quals? Go down on the President?

I'm not saying it's necessarily off the table. I mean, I'm a big fan. I just want a ballpark of what's expected of me, precisely.

Geeze. Now I'm starting to think this story might be worth keeping an eye on. I guess I'll just have to put off watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Desperate Housewives to follow it.

Damnit.

Well, at least The O.C. isn't on Sundays.*

*No, I don't watch these shows. Well, okay, Extreme Makeover, a little. But that involves demolition and construction, so I think I'm on safe ground there.

Update: Okay, now I'm kinda-sorta in the know. I can't say what the story is about, but I can say, I think how big it is. The answer: so-so big. It requires Kerry to answer questions, but it's not going to blow him out of the water.

It's damaging, but not even close to decimating. So don't get your hopes up too high.

I figured it would be something to hold the news for a few days but nothing huge. If they had something HUGE they would hold it till thursday. We all know Drudge would already have anything HUGE up. He likes his siren.

I will welcome anything to see Jenny Backus on the hotseat all bug eyed and screaming. Plus Lawrence O'Donnell is about to explode anyway, might push him over the edge.

Break the story. Or get it started.

If Clinton were still in office,you might even have a career in Washington with a 'reasonable'attitude like that.

Backus' bug eyes and her inctedibly annoying manner make me change the channel. Bleh. Ick.

Commissar says that it's gonna be a story about Kerry NOT meeting with UN reps before the Iraq war...(where he said in debates that he met with UN diploweenies who told him deal on resolution was possible).

Sheesh...all Kerry has to do is say "those weren't the diploweenies I was talking about".

WizbaNG HSA THE STORY!

I think it will be a distraction, nothing more. I think people are totally overloaded with this election and have tuned out. I think the undecided folks are a freakin myth or will stay home.

THis is about the vote early vote often crowd this election. So let the games begin.

The DUI story wasn't huge on its face, but...timing. If it sucks time away from Kerry's agenda then it hurts him. Degree of hurt is debatable. Eight days to go, people.

And Oh Jesus am I a Nervous Nellie right now. I know that Bush is likely to win, but I want it in the bank.

Posted by: David Gillies on October 24, 2004 11:18 PM

Color me seriously underwhelmed...that Kerry is an opportunist and will say nearly anything is, at this point, factored into people's perceptions of him.

Another log on the fire won't make the flame burn any brighter here...

Can we center-right blogs all promise to not do this Josh Marshal-esque "big story coming" hype in the future? Yeesh.

Well, in Team America, in order to get Spottswoode's trust, Gary had to go down on him.

Lame. I was hoping for something MUCH better.

Posted by: CL on October 24, 2004 11:52 PM

how exactly is this damaging?

Posted by: on October 24, 2004 11:58 PM

I just saw the article.

While it starts with the UN meeting as the basis for the article... the real message is Kerry is not truthful on just about every front. This from a man that proclaims that truthfulness is what would be the hallmark of his presidency and he is constantly stating that President Bush is not being truthful.

The real message of this article is the absolute crass hypocrisy and pathological lying of John Kerry. It speaks to the lack of character and trustworthiness of a man who seeks the highest office in our land.

For me, this is not new news... but, I'm not sure about others just tuning into the election.

Ace--

Don't let ol' Nixon know that you weren't watching the World Series. He's liable to impeach you.

Cheers,
Dave

P.S. The story seems to be a yawner. Hell, *I* already know Kerry is an exagerrationist, from 20 years of proof. Yet that hasn't convinced anyone else out there, or at least the people who *need* convincing.

The damaging aspect of it (such as it is) is in the video of Kerry making the claim at the second presidential debate--it's not some senate record--it's not some 30 yr old piece of oratory--nope, it's Kerry making his case to the American public in the most direct way possible.

That is really the only way it's damaging since a 'net can simply run the video with the claim being made and follow it up with "no he didn'."

[/optimism]

Its OUT! Go to http://www.washtimes.com/national/20041024-110609-9428r.htm

I don't know how big this is. So so.

Posted by: Iblis on October 25, 2004 12:44 AM

Ummm, isn't this rather like the time that he claims he was present at the signing of the Gulf War I peace treaty?

The sad part is that this is no surprise to those that are center-right, and therefore a non-event.

The really sad part is that those on the left don't care they are backing a guy who is a serial liar as opposed to a run-of-the-mill political distortionist.

The ultra-sad part is that the MSM won't care about this enough to even air it. (come on, it's not Bush lying, it's Kerry, therefore not newsworthy)

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.

For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."

Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition

Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.

Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.

This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.

In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.

Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.

This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.

But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.

Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.

Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.

And a song with another song as an intro, too:
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again
Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
