WHY WAS TERRY USING TERMS FROM THE CBS MEMO 9 HOURS BEFORE BROADCAST?

Man, those guys at the RNC are a regular Bloodhound Gang or Mod Squad. Take a look at this little observation:

9 HOURS BEFORE THE CBS REPORT: "Democratic Party chairman Terry McAuliffe said, 'George W. Bush's cover story on his National Guard service is rapidly unraveling. ... George W. Bush needs to answer why he regularly misled the American people about his time in the Guard and who applied political pressure on his behalf to have his performance reviews 'sugarcoated.'" (Terence Hunt, "Questions Raised About Bush Guard Service," The Associated Press, 9/9/04)
(I checked with the RNC how they knew it was nine hours ahead of CBS report - it turns out McAuliffe made this statement during a press event held at 11 am Sept. 8.)

The CBS memo, revealed on 60 Minutes that night: "Harris gave me a message today from Grp regarding Bush's OETR and Staudt is pushing to sugar coat it."

"Sugarcoated." What an interesting word. McAuliffe could have said that Bush's performance reviews were covered up, spun, masked, smoothed over, soft-pedaled, glossed over, prettified, veiled, whitewashed, hushed up, concealed, varnished, suppressed, or distorted. But he just happened to pick a word that appeared in the memos that were supposedly unveiled to the world hours later.

Even beyond McAuliffe's direct quote of the memos, he's specifically referring to the central allegation of the Burkett-to-Mapes memo, that Staudt wanted Bush’s records “sugarcoated.”

If this were a game of Clue, we would collectively be jumping up and down and shouting, "the attempted character assassination was committed by Burkett, Mapes, Rather, Lockhart, and McAuliffe, with the fake memo, in the observatory, er, in CBS offices and DNC headquarters!"

Or maybe this, along with the entire "Operation Fortunate Son," is all just a coincidence.

I learned how to delete.

They are caught, caught, caught. Someone needs to go to jail for attempting to subvert our electoral process and our form of government.

Someone means you, Kerry, and you, Rather, and you Burkett, and you, Cleland, and you, Mapes, and you, McAuliffe, and you, Lockhart.

Tell me why this isn't a criminal conspiracy. Are they not uttering a forged document? Are they not in violation of campaign finance laws? Is CBS not a willing partner in this conspiracy?

The memos are forged, that is certain. But the collusion between the Kerry campaign, CBS and the document provider(s) is the conspiracy. The Kerry campaign certainly were prepared for the release of the story. CBS even bumped a story about the Bush Whitehouse falling for forged documents involving Uranium in order to air this story. Funny how things turn out.

This has to be aired completely and all perpatrators brought to account.

What I want to know is why the Justice Department or the FEC isn't launching an emergency investigation into this--

And, since neither one has yet to do so, why isn't Judicial Watch on it?--This needs to be tracked down and fleshed-out.......publicly.......before 2 November--C

TOO BAD, the author had to retract the story. Look again at the
link in the first post. It still looks pretty suspicious though.
