OT - John Kerry - Conspiracy ???
Chuck wrote:
snip Drudge-esque rumor mongering Is there a copy of this article on the web? Chuck, there's an article on the web to support *anything*. Want proof that the Earth is flat? That the Loch Ness Monster exists? That space aliens have visited Omaha Nebraska? That the Masons control everything? It's there, all you gotta do is look and then suspend credulity while you read. Now, if you're looking to make an informed decision come election day, you'd do better than an annonymous article posted on usenet describing how somebody you've never heard of reacts to unsubstantianted (and unspecified) charges about Kerry. Perhaps the transcript of last night's edition of 60 Minutes would be a good place to start: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/19/60minutes/main607356.shtml obski: Anyone see that photo op of Kerry skiing and snowboarding? Another reason not to vote for him. It's just like his voting record - no convictions, on both sides of every issue, trying to pander to everyone. Feh. The guy went skiing. Posed for some photo ops . He skis and snowboards, and used both while on vacation. What's the big deal? -- //-Walt // // http://tinyurl.com/yubxo |

snip Newsmax. Drudge. Do you ever read any real news sources? Anyway, even assuming it's true (which coming from Drudge is about a 30% chance) it doesn't rebut the factual claims of Richard Clarke. If you're serious about this stuff, you need to take his criticisms seriously. Dismissing them out of hand is just pure head-in-the-sand-ism. -- //-Walt // // |

wrote: Newsmax. Drudge. Do you ever read any real news sources? Sure, but I usually try and avoid becoming "boxed-in" by limiting myself to the big liberal controlled media giants such as NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, etc. I also take much of what is reported on 60 minutes with a grain of salt. Anyway, who do you think broke the Monica Lewinski story? It wasn't Newsweek, it was Drudge. Anyway, even assuming it's true (which coming from Drudge is about a 30% chance) it doesn't rebut the factual claims of Richard Clarke. 30 percent accurate? That's complete nonsense. Besides, CBS already admitted that it is true. If you're serious about this stuff, you need to take his criticisms seriously. Dismissing them out of hand is just pure head-in-the-sand-ism. ??? What are you talking about? I post a link indicating a potential conflict of interest and ethics breach by Viacom/CBS/60 Minutes and you think I'm dismissing things? Look, the story isn't about Clarke, rather, the story is about Viacom and how they more or less just used 60 minutes (a news program) as an infomercial for Clarke's book. -Astro |
