Democratic "playbook" calls for lies and ...

Whats up Dems? Can't win so you gotta lie?

Today I read an article in our local paper, then I heard it on the radio, and then I do what I usally do. I check it out for myself to make sure what I am hearing is what is really going on. You see I do not trust completly any mass media source. They all are seriously flawed and have forgotten that its their job to get to the bottom of the truth, not put a spin on it. SO I was of course more than a little wary of what I was hearing.

What I was hearing was that there is a election day manual by the Democratic National Committee that calls for its members during election day to make false news releases, lie about voter fruad and to generally try to throw as many wrenches in the process as they can. What??? I thought this just can't be. I can understand some hard pressed lively talk, maybe even a protest or two but to actually tell your "operatives" to "launch a pre-emptive strike". My word that sounds a lot like a terrorist manual. Do we not have enough to do election day to make sure that people get to the polls, that people are not prevented in any way from voting? Yet the DNC thinks it should make false news releases, even if no voter problems are present.

The 60+ page manual list tactics and issues to raise. Here is the part that was found the most disturbing:

What the document says

A page from the Democrats' "Colorado Election Day Manual: A detailed guide to voting in Colorado" appeared on the Drudge Report.

• Chapter 2 says: "If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a pre-emptive strike."

• Operatives are directed to issue a news release "reviewing Republican tactics used in your area or state."

• They should also quote "party/minority/ civil rights leadership as denouncing tactics that discourage people from voting."


OK now read those again. "Operatives"?, "pre-emptive strike"? What kind of comments/instructions are those? Is this a manual for Americans or someone trying to prevent voting in Iraq?

Whoever wrote this should be drummed out of the DNC. If the DNC wants those that think with open minds on the issues to even consider what they are saying, they need to say it without trying to use scare tactics and lies.

Shame on you DNC!!

Think about this from a common sense standpoint. Picture yourself as the person who wrote this manual. What would be the consequences of influencing thousands of activists to lie when you know that that the opposition will be watching them like hawks? Exactly, you know that a lot of them will get caught and thereby comepletely undermine what your "team" is trying to accomplish.


I will take your side on it since the RNC will be watching the DNC and the Liberty-tarians will be watching both, so if one screws up we will HAVE THAT ONE, MUAHAHAHAHA!!

Michael Badnarik, Libertarian candidate for president 2004: Link to Source, quote near the bottom

To people who ask me about wasting their vote by voting Libertarian, I tell them that the Democrats and Republicans both increase the size of government, both parties increase your level of taxes, and increase the level of government intervention in your life. If you want smaller government and you vote for either the Democrats or the Republicans, then you have wasted your vote.

KiddieTV has hit a new low with this, don't you think so to?


I was glad at one time that MTV was doing something good, but this really stinks. Why do good people want to drag their self respect in the gutter. Since I don't watch MTV, after they stopped playing music, my not watching them won't make a difference. Sigh... Aaah the good old days when MTV meant Music TV.

You need to ask yourself why did the DNC (and Kerry's staff) distribute out a memo last election on how to discard all the absentee military ballets?

As I posted on my Post on the same subject, I think they want to implode and I'm going to enjoy watching it.

That's My Two Cents
