OOOPS... MY BAD, I JUST WANTED TO CHAT WITH SOME FELLOW WAR HEROES...

FROM FREEREPUBLIC.COM
Spotting a group of US Marines, Kerry, who has made his Vietnam War service a cornerstone of his campaign, went over to chat. The Marines, who all turned out to be staunch Bush reporters, were not impressed.

"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one of them told reporters afterwards. "I'm 100 percent against" Kerry, he said. "We support our commander-in-chief 100 percent."

BILL O'REILLY THE SELLOUT
Rober Reich showered Bill O'Reilly with compliments tonight. He said that he has heard, within the past year or so, that Bill has been "coming around to" his (Reich's) point of view.

That's just about the length of time we've been insisting that O'Reilly is selling out to the Left... scared leftward that he be viewed as "conservative"... not a boat he wants to be in... hence the cowtowing to Lefties like Reich and Moore...

And by the way, we do believe Michael Moore cleaned O'Reilly's acquiesing clock the other night. We know 7 year olds that could deliver better answers in support of the Iraq War and President Bush than O'Reilly did.

GREAT BOOK ABOUT JOHN KERRY MAKES AMAZON'S #2 ON EVE OF HIS BIG SPEECH

FROM DRUDGE:

Capped by Kerry's primetime speech to accept the Democratic Party's nomination, Thursday's program will include appearances and remarks by Kerry's Swift Boat crewmates, the Kerry-Edwards campaign announced in a press release this morning.

But a group of veterans will soon try to convince a nation how what is presented on the convention stage tonight -- may not be the full story: "Only 2 of John Kerry's 23 fellow Swift boat commanders from Coastal Division 11 support his candidacy today."

A new bombshell book written by the man who took over John Kerry's Swift Boat charges: Two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations (#1 and #3) resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire.

The startling Purple Heart accusations, outlined in detail for the first time, are found in UNFIT FOR COMMAND, Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry.

And that's just the beginning.

The book, previewed by the DRUDGE REPORT, will be unleashed next month by REGNERY.

The book hit #2 on the AMAZON sales chart on the eve of the Kerry acceptance speech in Boston.

Kerry directed the boat to charge the enemy position. Beaching his boat, Kerry jumped off, chased the wounded insurgent behind a thatched hutch, and killed him. Kerry and his crew returned within days, armed with a Super 8 video camera he had purchased at the post exchange at Cam Ranh Bay, and reenacted the skirmish on film."

DONNA BRAZILE PRAYS
Eager to take President Bush head-on, they have found the convention’s go-positive strategy easier to understand than to heed.

Donna Brazile is one. Al Gore’s former campaign manager received written instructions from John Kerry’s campaign to keep the nominating convention focused on the candidate, not the Republican incumbent.

“Being a Christian woman, I called them and said, 'Lord, have mercy, I cannot hold my tongue. What am I going to do?”’ she said.

ANN COULTER'S ARTICLE AXED BY USA TODAY YESTERDAY
Here at the Spawn of Satan convention in Boston, conservatives are deploying a series of covert signals to identify one another, much like gay men do. My allies are the ones wearing crosses or American flags. The people sporting shirts emblazened with the "F-word" are my opponents. Also, as always, the pretty girls and cops are on my side, most of them barely able to conceal their eye-rolling.

Democrats are constantly suing and slandering police as violent, fascist racists -- with the exception of Boston's police, who'll be lauded as national heroes right up until the Democrats pack up and leave town on Friday, whereupon they'll revert to their natural state of being fascist, racist pigs.

Unscripted, she is way too European for middle America, and I'll be honest... contrary to the incomprehensible intellectual weight the media insists she carries... she's not articulate, she doesn't understand the concept of "staying on message", and doesn't come across very bright. Kerry cringes every times a microphone is within ten feet of her.

BUSH CAN'T WIN. OR WILL HE?
Sometimes a political figure becomes so hated that he can't do anything right in the eyes of his enemies. President Bush has achieved this rare and exalted status. His critics are so blinded by animus that the internal consistency of their attacks on him no longer matters. For them, Bush is the double-bind president.

If he stumbles over his words, he is an embarrassing idiot. If he manages to cut taxes or wage a war against Saddam Hussein with bipartisan support, he is a manipulative genius.

If he hasn't been able to capture Osama bin Laden, he is endangering U.S. security. If he catches bin Laden, it is only a ploy to influence the elections.

If he ignores U.N. resolutions, he is a dangerous unilateralist. If he takes U.N. resolutions on Iraq seriously, he is a dangerous unilateralist. If he doesn't get France to agree to his Iraq policy, he is ignoring important international actors. If he supports multiparty talks on North Korea, he is not doing enough to ignore important international actors.

DON'T FORGET THE FUROR OVER THESE 16 WORDS RIVALED THE ABU GHRAIB COVERAGE

"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

— George W. Bush, State of the Union address, Jan. 28, 2003

Those were "the 16 words" in a momentous message to a joint session of Congress that were pounced on by the wrong-war left to become the simple centerpiece of its angry accusation that "Bush lied to us" — or, as John Kerry more delicately puts it — "misled" us into thinking that Saddam's Iraq posed a danger to the U.S.

The he-lied-to-us charge was led by Joseph Wilson, a former diplomat sent in early 2002 by the C.I.A. to Niger to check out reports by several European intelligence services that Iraq had secretly tried to buy that African nation's only major export, "yellowcake" uranium ore.

Wilson testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that he had assured U.S. officials back in 2002 that "there was nothing to the story." When columnist Robert Novak raised the question of nepotism by reporting that he got the assignment at the urging of his C.I.A. wife, Wilson denied that heatedly and denounced her "outing," triggering an investigation. The skilled self-promoter was then embraced as an antiwar martyr, sold a book with "truth" in its title, appeared on the cover of Time and every TV talk show denouncing Bush.

WE NEED RACIAL PROFILING
On June 29, 2004, at 12:28 p.m., I flew on Northwest Airlines flight #327 from Detroit to Los Angeles with my husband and our young son. Also on our flight were 14 Middle Eastern men between the ages of approximately 20 and 50 years old. What I experienced during that flight has caused me to question whether the United States of America can realistically uphold the civil liberties of every individual, even non-citizens, and protect its citizens from terrorist threats.

On that Tuesday, our journey began uneventfully. Starting out that morning in Providence, Rhode Island, we went through security screening, flew to Detroit, and passed the time waiting for our connecting flight to Los Angeles by shopping at the airport stores and eating lunch at an airport diner. With no second security check required in Detroit we headed to our gate and waited for the pre-boarding announcement. Standing near us, also waiting to pre-board, was a group of six Middle Eastern men. They were carrying blue passports with Arabic writing. Two men wore tracksuits with Arabic writing across the back. Two carried musical instrument cases - thin, flat, 18 long. One wore a yellow T-shirt and held a McDonald's bag. And the sixth man had a bad leg -- he wore an orthopedic shoe and limped. When the pre-boarding announcement was made, we handed our tickets to the Northwest Airlines agent, and walked down the jetway with the group of men directly behind us.

EVEN MAUREEN DOWD THINKS TERAEZZA HEINZ KRAZY IS A STRANGE ONE AND HER HUSBAND IS BORING
Some Hollywood contributors want to censor any Teresa tidbits, including any mention of her nickname among some in the Kerry circle — "the Stepmoney." Others sanguinely say she's showing some improvement, not talking about her first husband as much as she used to.

Surely, the reason the town known as the Democratic Party's wallet is so focused on the candidate's spouse is that the candidate himself has given it nothing to get excited about. People here are amazed that John Kerry does not even have a soaring stump speech yet, either in terms of the arc or music of the words, or the passion of the ideas. John 2 came up with the theme of two Americas in the primaries, and John 1 still hasn't articulated his vision for one.

SINCE WHEN IS SPECULATION ABOUT THE RUMORS BEHIND A THEORY NEWS ?????????????

In the annals of Washington conspiracy theories, the latest one, about Vice President Dick Cheney's future on the Republican ticket, is as ingenious as it is far-fetched. But that has not stopped it from racing through Republican and Democratic circles like the latest low-carb diet.

The newest theory - advanced privately by prominent Democrats, including members of Congress - holds that Mr. Cheney recently dismissed his personal doctor so that he could see a new one, who will conveniently tell him in August that his heart problems make him unfit to run with Mr. Bush. The dismissed physician, Dr. Gary Malakoff, who four years ago declared that Mr. Cheney was "up to the task of the most sensitive public office" despite a history of heart disease, was dropped from Mr. Cheney's medical team because of an addiction to prescription drugs.

"I don't know where they get all these conspiracy theories," said Matthew Dowd, the Bush campaign's chief strategist, who has heard them all. "It's inside-the-Beltway coffee talk, is all it is."

JOE WILSON, LIAR, IS TOUTED ON KERRY'S WEBSITE AS EXAMPLE OF HONESTY
Like Sherlock Holmes' dog that did not bark, the most remarkable aspect of last week's Senate Intelligence Committee report is what its Democratic members did not say. They did not dissent from the committee's findings that Iraq apparently asked about buying yellowcake uranium from Niger. They neither agreed to a conclusion that former diplomat Joseph Wilson was suggested for a mission to Niger by his CIA employee wife nor defended his statements to the contrary.

Wilson's activities constituted the only aspects of the yearlong investigation for which the committee's Republican chairman, Sen. Pat Roberts, was unable to win unanimous agreement. According to committee sources, Roberts felt Wilson had been such a ''cause celebre'' for Democrats that they could not face the facts about him.

For a year, Democrats have been belaboring President Bush about 16 words in his 2003 State of the Union address in which he reported Saddam Hussein's attempt to buy uranium from Africa, based on British information. Wilson has been lionized in liberal circles for allegedly contradicting this information on a CIA mission and then being punished as a truth-teller. Now, for committee Democrats, it is as though the Niger question and Joe Wilson have vanished from the Earth. ... (more)

Hope said she would appeal to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry to "correct this omission" and would send an e-mail message to more than 1,000 New York women - "many of them major donors to the Kerry campaign" - complaining about the slight.

OPEN LETTER FROM THE BUSH CAMPAIGN TO THE KERRYWARDS CAMPAIGN

July 12, 2004

Mary Beth Cahill
Campaign Manager
John Kerry for President
P.O. Box 34640
Washington, DC 20043

Dear Ms. Cahill:

On Thursday your campaign hosted a fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall at which Sen. Kerry said, "Every performer tonight in their own way either verbally through their music through their lyrics have conveyed to you the heart and soul of our country."

I called on your campaign to release the performance that Sen. Kerry said represented the "heart and soul" of America so that all Americans could see for themselves what John Kerry thinks represents the "heart and soul" of our country.

Do most Americans in their hearts, think that calling the President a "thug" and a "killer" represents the "heart and soul" of our nation? We don't think so, but we think voters should decide for themselves by watching the celebrities John Kerry said captured the "heart and soul" of America.

Your Senior Advisor Tad Devine said that you believed that releasing musical performances "might violate copyrights and licensing agreements for the entertainers who performed and allow the Bush campaign to use the tape in commercials against Kerry and Edwards"

I have been assured that "fair use" rules of copyright would allow you to release the tapes of these musical performances to the news media under 2 U.S.C. 107. To allay the other concern you relayed to the news media, Bush-Cheney '04 pledges to refrain from using audio, video or transcripts of the event for any television, cable, satellite or radio advertising. We look forward to seeing this spirited display.

Sincerely,

Ken Mehlman

LEAK: Planned Bush Speech to NAACP Revealed
by Scott Ott (2004-07-13) -- Before President George Bush made his final decision not to speak at this week's convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), he and his speech-writing staff prepared a draft of an address that he would have delivered if pressure from the media had become so intense that he had no other choice.

Here is a partial transcript of that speech, which was accidentally emailed to 1.5 million GOP supporters last night...

PRESIDENT BUSH:
"My fellow Americans, members of the NAACP, Senator Boxer. It's an honor to be with you tonight representing the political party that introduced the 1957 Civil Rights Act--which at the time was the first civil rights legislation in 82 years. Although Senator Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat from my home state, and Senator John F. Kennedy, the Democrat from my opponent's home state, both worked to prevent the full implementation of the 1957 Act, it formed the foundation upon which the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voter Rights Act still stand."

"I also represent the political party whose Congressional delegation voted overwhelmingly for the Civil Rights Act of 1964--82 percent of Republican Senators voted 'yes' and 80 percent of Republican House members approved--helping to overcome the weak support by the opposition party where only 69 percent of Democrat Senators and 61 percent of Democrat House members voted for the Act.

But cheerleaders aren't a good predictor of a team's performance. And by the looks of it, Team Kerry isn't walking onto the field from where Team Gore stepped off. The story the media may be missing this year is that the electorate is not nearly as evenly divided as it was in 2000. The success of President Bush's policies, Sept. 11 (which wiped away the claim that he didn't have a mandate to govern) and the war in Iraq have all changed the political landscape.

Buckley Slaps Down Junior Reagan

In his column today, Robert Novak salutes the only man who could put Bush-bashing Ron Reagan in his place.

"Nobody knew how to respond in a time of national mourning. Nobody, that is, except William F. Buckley Jr.," Novak writes.

Among the shots junior Reagan fired at the president: that his father never wore "his faith on his sleeve," that his "father did not know George W. Bush from Adam," that his "father was a man - that's the difference between him and Bush." And: "This is their war. If they can't stand on their own two feet, they're no Ronald Reagans."
Among the responses in a letter Buckley sent to the late president's son, according to Novak:

The younger Reagan claimed "in an interview with the New York Times that he, as a self-professed atheist, admired the Buddhist teachings of 'mindfulness and loving kindness and compassion.' Buckley told him: 'You proceed in a single interview to profane/deride the faith of your parents, which is not very mindful.'"

The boast that he did not vote for Bush: "Odd that you should permit this invasion of privacy whose only purpose is to remark the political infidelity of the son of Ronald Reagan."

To Junior's claim that his father "worked hard to impress upon his children the value of kindness," Buckley noted, "If he did, he was manifestly unsuccessful."
Well, at least the angry and hateful former ballet dancer will fit right in at the Democrat convention.

BUSH DIDN'T LIE. BUT THOSE ACCUSING HIM OF SUCH DID.
"The Committee did not find any evidence that Administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments related to Iraq's weapons of mass destruction capabilities."

So reads Conclusion 83 of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on prewar intelligence on Iraq. The Committee likewise found no evidence of pressure to link Iraq to al Qaeda. So it appears that some of the claims about WMD used by the Bush Administration and others to argue for war in Iraq were mistaken because they were based on erroneous information provided by the CIA.

A few apologies would seem to be in order. Allegations of lying or misleading the nation to war are about the most serious charge that can be leveled against a President. But according to this unanimous study, signed by Jay Rockefeller and seven other Democrats, those frequent charges from prominent Democrats and the media are without merit.

Of 'Lies' and WMD

SO, AN ATHEISTIC LIBERAL IS SPEAKING AT YOUR CONVENTION. THIS IS NEWS?

And Ronny,... if there's a prayer delivered,... like at your Dad's memorial, you're not converting to Christianity by simply bowing your head (phew!!) ... oh wait, wrong convention.

DEMOCRATS' SPECIAL INTERESTS: NAMBLA, THE PORN INDUSTRY, TRIAL LAWYERS, HOLLYWEIRD, STRIP CLUBS, THE NATION OF ISLAM, FRANCE, AND NOW... RAPPING BLACK HELICOPTER CONSPIRATORS...

Musicians often voice political opinions in their songs, especially during an election year. Most hip-hop acts, however, have remained mum on the current political environment -- until now.

Ruff Ryders/Interscope artist Jadakiss -- also a member of rap trio the Lox -- is receiving a lot of attention for his single "Why?" The song questions President Bush's involvement in the events of Sept. 11, 2001, with the lyric "Why did Bush knock down the Towers?"

THE PASSION OF THE LIBERAL
We've been saying for some time that Michael Moorefood's "Dramamentary" Fahrenheit 9-11 was the LEFT's "Passion of the Christ"...

Entertainment Weekly's fawing interview with Moore (in the current issue) is called "The Passion of Michael Moore"

No kidding.

It's interesting how liberals reacted to "The Passion" like vampires to garlic clusters, but they're flocking to Fahrenheit 9-11. Perhaps interesting isn't the right word. Revealing. Yeah, that's more like it.

And let's not fool ourselves to think that "mainstream" magazines like this innocent smut rag Entertainment Weekly are "mainstream" at all. In their cute little "Hot Sheet" section, amongst one and two liners of what transpired during the week, we find this little nugget:

4. DICK CHENEY: He said "f--- yourself" to a senator. He wasnt' swearing, just articulating Bush's foreign and domestic policies.

WILL IT BE A I-WAS-FOR-THE-WAR VISIT, OR AN I'M-NOW-AGAINST-THE-WAR-I-WAS-FOR VISIT?

Tentative plans are being discussed inside the Kerry-Edwards campaign to send vice-presidential candidate John Edwards to Iraq as soon as possible.

Edwards has not gone to Iraq since the U.S. invasion last year. His visit there would be designed to try to fill the senator's lack of experience in national security policy. It also would provide the campaign with photo opportunities showing Edwards in close contact with U.S. troops in Iraq.

Robert Novak: Edwards to Iraq?

WHAT AM I? A CONSERVATIVE OR A LOSERABRAL?

RUSH: Karina in Davie, Florida, this is where the Miami Dolphins train. Hello, Karina and welcome to the program.

CALLER: Hi, Rush, thanks for taking my call. I'm a new listener. I just turned 24, I've been listening for maybe about six months, and before I started listening to you I thought I was a liberal. No questions about it. But after listening to you, I'm not real sure anymore. I still consider myself a liberal, but--

RUSH: We'll fix that.

CALLER: -- I'm going to vote for Bush. So I need your help to finding, I guess, my political party.

RUSH: Okay, this is going to require some conversation. I'll be glad to tell you about this when we come back. I want to change my battery here. I hope I have a spare battery. Well, I always do, I always care a spare battery in the briefcase, so I'll switch batteries here in the break Karina. You just turned 24, you're a new listener, I want to find out first, it's important, how you found this show. We've been here 16 years.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY VALUES
If this is what the self-described dream team of John Kerry and John Edwards means by "American values," then please 'bring it on.' Thursday night's star studded fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall brought in an estimated $7.5 million dollars for team John-John, and at the same time may have caused $100 million dollars worth of damage to the message they had started spreading just hours earlier.

On the very same day that John Kerry proclaimed that working class Americans live by American values and John Edwards let us know that both he and Kerry share the same values, the pair got a chance to take a stand and show the electorate exactly what they meant. And some might say they did just that.

After rolling in the isles while listening to the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, singer John Mellencamp and comedian John Leguizamo trash George W. Bush by calling him a liar, a killer and a thug, (Goldberg also made sexual innuendos about the president's last name) team dream had a chance to take the stage and do the right thing.

But this was their party and they'd smile if they wanted to. And they did. Kerry, at the top of the American Values ticket thanked the performers and said they represent the heart and soul of our nation. The better looking of the Values ticket said he was honored to be there, and promised that the campaign would be a celebration of, what else, "Real American Values."

This all begs the question, just what are John Kerry's values? Here's one clue. On the same night that he found time to attend this hate-fest-fund-raiser, he told Larry King that he hadn't yet been
