"Outraged" victims tied to John Kerry campaign DIRECTLY

I heard Rush play the sound bites of the women all saying the exact same thing. I thought I'd search for those sounds bites tonight when I came across this trail of links from Colleen Kelly and Peaceful Tomorrows back to John Kerry himself.
Here's some quick links if you want to pass this info along without all of my commentary:

The "outraged" faces we've seen on television the past two days are more than they seem. Family members of 9/11 victims have been interviewed ad nauseum on television

and in newspapers
http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/170291p-148587c.html


far and wide--Among those 9/11 family members quoted in newspapers and in television interviews across the nation are people like Rita Lasar and Colleen Kelly.

Both Lasar and Kelly are leaders of a group called September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows,

which on it's surface sounds innocuous enough.But when the connections are peeled away like the layers of an onion, the true picture emerges. Peaceful Tomorrows is one of several projects sponsored by the Tides Center of Pennsylvania.But who is the Tides Center? Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania,

it is none other than a creation of the Tides Foundation

Sept. 11 Families Disgusted by Bush Campaign Ads

People that protest this ad would rather forget about 9/11. Guess what? It did happen and during Bush's presidency. Not only does he have a RIGHT to reference the event, he has an OBLIGATION to do so...

These people put their own political agenda ahead of the country's safety.

Doyle and Willett--
"Quite honestly, he probably would have gotten booed," Bill Doyle, who lost his son Joey in the attack, said of a Bush visit.

Meet the Willet family.Willets..

Mr. Doyle is in the liberal media rolodex. Every time they need a quote attacking Bush, he's there with fresh new material: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/05/17/families.htm
Willett is a real piece of work: A letter to the FTC.

We all knew that after the embarrassment the Dems faced in 2000, and the way they used the Florida State Supreme Court to try to steal an election, that THIS one would be a dirty campaign, and Kerry is living up to the prediction.

I am going to hold my nose and vote for the shrub again, because the genuine war criminal who admitted killing civilians is clearly the worst choice.

Heinz Foundation Bankrolled Group Protesting Bush 9/11 Ads [FR Mentioned]

The group Peaceful Tomorrows, which bills itself as an independent group of 9/11 victim families and whose members have led the charge to force the Bush reelection campaign to yank ads citing the Twin Tower attacks, has direct financial ties to the Heinz Foundation, the charitable trust administered by the wife of likely Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry.

On its Web site, Peaceful Tomorrows identifies itself as "a project of the Tides Center, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization."

A Dec. 2003 report in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review detailed the financial relationship between the Tides Center and the charitable foundation controlled by Mrs. Heinz Kerry:

"Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania, it is a creation of the Tides Foundation and Center, headquartered in San Francisco, and two Pennsylvania-based foundations -- the Vira Heinz Endowment and the Howard Heinz Endowment-- chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry."

The bolshevik Kerry campaign is at it again I see....looks like all we can expect out of them are politricks...

Excellent work Banky.
Thank You

People are sheep and they bought into the "im offended" crap when they hadn't even seen the commercial and were instructed by their leaders.

Laughs hysterically.

Typical Demoscum, hiding behind the skirts of bereaved widows!

Really though.

I think this truly classifies as politicising 9/11, don't you?

Some 9-11 Kin Send Letter Backing Bush Ad
The Detroit News/AP ^ | 3/6/04 | None listed


Posted on 03/06/2004 4:32:48 PM EST by Gothmog


NEW YORK (AP) -- More than a dozen families who lost relatives in the Sept. 11 attacks released a letter Saturday declaring their support for President Bush and his use of images of the destroyed World Trade Center in campaign ads.

"There is no better testament to the leadership of President Bush than Sept. 11," the letter states. "In choosing our next leader we must not forget that day if we are to have a meaningful conversation."

The "Open Letter to America," signed by 22 people who lost loved ones in the trade center, comes as other victims' families asked that the ads be pulled from the airwaves. The spots also show firefighters carrying a flag-draped stretcher.

"In the November election we will have a clear choice laid before the American people," the letter reads. "President Bush is rightly offering us that choice and the images of Sept. 11, although painful, are fundamental to that choice. The images in President Bush's campaign television ads are respectful of the memories of Sept. 11."

John Kerry is the second most boring presidential candidate in history, top spot going to Al Gore.

You forgot Walter Mondull.

Are you saying that Banky is lying here?

Seems to me he's built a pretty solid case.

Instead of spamming the thread with "spam", why don't you refute it?
Or are you just going to continue trolling and baiting?

If he's implying that the anger felt by the nation from these perverted Bush ads is all a big conspiracy started by the Kerry campaign then yes.

Posting 35+ links to that extremist website is what I'd call spam, along with the usual garbage he spams us with here.

I don't need to refute absolute bull****. Nobody engineered the feelings those dispicable ads give me and the rest of the decent people of America. Why don't YOU "refute" that mr. chief apologist??



Or are you just going to continue trolling and baiting?


Calling me a troll now and saying I'm baiting??

Hell, that's ALL YOU DO!!! It's all you're here for, insulting Liberals and pushing your radical hard right agenda.

Constantly posting your drivel here along with the Banky's of the world. It's all you do..

Your idea of debate is name calling and juvenile partisan mockery.

If he's implying that the anger felt by the nation from these perverted Bush ads is all a big conspiracy started by the Kerry campaign then yes.

The vast majority of people that are angry about it are angry liberals.
There are some others that have been fooled into thinking that any mention of 9/11 should not be used because that is what the left has been saying for months now.

The facts speak for themselves, the links are extensive.

Yes, when you can't refute the facts, refute the source.
Good going!

Obviously someone did engineer these feelings for a lot of partisan people. It was red meat for the seething, angry crowd.

It has been "refuted". Banky's articles show where all this started. You have failed to refute anything. No big surprise. WHen cornered you strike.

Calling me a troll now and saying I'm baiting??


That was the sum total of your first post in this thread.

Most people would've gotten a warning, you being the DA chosen golden boy got away with it again. Nust be nice being able to continually violate the rules while others are held to a different standard.

Hell, that's ALL YOU DO!!! It's all you're here for, insulting Liberals and pushing your radical hard right agenda.

Do you have anything relevent or pertinent to add to this thread or are you going to continue to be a troll?

Your idea of debate is name calling and juvenile partisan mockery.

LOL. Kettle, Pot, Black

You know Banky, I was thinking about all of this tonight and this sets a new low for the Democrat party or anything I've ever seen in politics.

Just when you think they are at the bottom of the barrel, they shock and awe us again with something as horrible as coaching and using victims family members for political gain.

Once again 6 screens on a 1280x1024 that could have been replaced by a single line linking to the page.

And none of those 6 pages give us anything but opinions.

Meh.

Once again 6 screens on a 1280x1024 that could have been replaced by a single line linking to the page.

Meh.

Obviously you have trouble discerning fact from opinion.
It is a fact that the 2 women on 4 different networks said the exact, and I mean exact, same thing. They've been given talking points.
It is also a fact that these women are engaged in VERY left wing causes, some directly tied to Kerry.

I undoubtedly missed some links, I didn't have the inclination to click them all. Maybe someone could extract these specific ones?
