You're falling into the Strawman trap...

Scott Evil — 3/5/2004 7:25:50 PM (archived)

If my theory is correct, then there isn't a body under that flag at all... It's footage from the remembrance celebration that was held after the clean-up of the WTC disaster site was completed...

All this talk of showing dead bodies will be proved to be a gross exageration.. (If I were running the Bush campaign this would be the case, and I'm betting that is exactly what it is.)

The first ad that the Bush team put out has the Democrats falling all over themselves in false shock and horror. The hate Bush crowd is just to predictable. the Bush folks would be crazy not to turn that intense hatred, which is Kerry's strenght into Kerry's biggest weakness: Every time Kerry gets a little momentum, all the Bush people need to do is run an ad that is only slightly controversial, and Kerry wil be wiped off the front page by the over-eager hate-Bush Kerry supporters and the news media.

  - You're exactly right Justin. The ad was a strawman ad, and the Kerry folks unwhitingly walked right into the trap. - Scott Evil - 3/5/2004 7:12:55 PM
