Nadar Continues to Attack

Nader isn’t pulling his punches: Yahoo! News – Nader, Kerry to Discuss Defeating Bush: “Following a speech on the environment at Georgia State University, Nader stepped up his attacks on Bush, describing the Republican incumbent as ‘a giant corporation residing in the White House camouflaging as a human being.’ “

Shoot the Messenger Strategies from Bush Campaign

The Bush campaign again on the defensive. More shoot the messenger responses rather than refuting the accusation with examples of compassionate policies. Yahoo! News – Bush Campaign Blasts Kerry’s Bible Quote: “‘The Scriptures say, what does it profit, my brother, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?’ Kerry said. ‘When we [...]

Who to Attack? Anyone but Us

The messenger shooters are having a hard time keeping their stories straight. The Top Ten Conservative Idiots, No. 149 – Democratic Underground: “It was a little strange to watch senior administration officials falling over each other to personally attack a man with thirty years of government service under his belt, a man who worked for [...]

Norm Coleman Shouldn’t Call People Flip Floppers

Senator Norm Coleman comes across as an even larger hypocrite than usual when he accuses anyone of being a flip-flopper on issues. Additionally, the criticisms of John Kerry’s voting record are extremely misleading. For example, the half-truth slanderers such as Norm Coleman, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, slam Kerry for voting against additional funding for [...]

Homeland Security Hiring Freeze

You cannot make this stuff up: Temporary hiring freeze at some Homeland Security agencies: “The Homeland Security Department said on Friday that it is putting a hold on new hires at two bureaus for a few weeks while it analyzes whether they’re spending more than their budgets allow. Dennis Murphy, Homeland Security spokesman, said budget [...]

Richard Clarke Likes to Get Stuff Done

Yahoo! News – Clarke Known As Abrasive but Efficient: “He hoped his real message got through: ‘You obviously do not think that terrorism is as important as I do since you are taking months to do anything, so get somebody else to do it who can be happy working at your pace.’ “

John Kerry Calling out Condoleezza Rice

This is great stuff. Keep the heat on, Kerry! Yahoo! News – Kerry Slams White House Attack on Clarke: “‘If Condoleezza Rice can find time to do `60 Minutes’ on television before the American people, she ought to find 60 minutes to speak to the commission under oath,’ Kerry told reporters. ‘We’re talking about the [...]

Bill Frist’s Ad Hominem Attack FAIL

It looks like Bill Frist may have cornered himself in his attempt to destroy Clarke’s credibility. You know what’s tough to do? Destroy the credibility of a credible person. Richard Clarke definitely comes across as a credible and bright guy who would not go to press with such an inflamatory book without making sure it [...]

9-11 Intelligence Reflections

What did have we learned about 9-11 intelligence this week: 1. Clinton’s strategy of “Swatting Flies” (Bush’s terms for it), while far from perfect, interrupts more terrorist acts than planning for 7 months to create a 3-year plan to go after Osama Bin Laden. 2. If you have a terrorism expert on staff who’s worked [...]
