DNC ELECTION MANUAL: CHARGE VOTER INTIMIDATION, EVEN IF NONE EXISTS
**World Exclusive**
http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc66.htm
The Kerry/Edwards campaign and the Democratic National Committee are advising election operatives to declare voter intimidation -- even if none exists, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.
A 66-page mobilization plan to be issued by the Kerry/Edwards campaign and the Democratic National Committee states: "If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a 'pre-emptive strike.'"
The provocative Dem battle plan is to be distributed in dozens of states, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
One top DNC official confirmed the manual's authenticity, but claimed the notion of crying wolf on any voter intimidation is "absurd."
"We all know the Republicans are going to try to steal the election by scaring people and confusing people," the top DNC source explained.

Talk about the Goth calling the metal black.
If you don't think people are dirty on both sides, then you're very uninformed.
If you don't think people on BOTH SIDES are preparing for the post-election legal battle, you're very uninformed as each side has thousands of laywers ready to roll.
This thread still tickles me: The GOP has thousands of lawyers on standby.
You have a problem with Drudge because he's not part of the MSM? If you take issue with his reliablity, I'd like to see some stats comparing his to the MSM.
In the meantime, you can see the

"If we do not suppress the Detroit vote, we're going to have a tough time in this election cycle."
-- State Rep. John Pappageorge, R-Troy, while discussing election strategy at a meeting of the Oakland County Republican Party
It's the double-standard of YOURS I have a problem with.
Lose the double-standard. Acknowledge that people on BOTH sides can be slime, acknowledge that people on BOTH sides are ready to bittery contest this election when the counting is done.
And finally, acknowledge that there's not one shred of proof, not one SMIDGEN of evidence that points to DEMOCRATS breaking into an office and stealing anything belonging to Republicans.
Unless of course, you know something that PROFESSIONAL law enforcement officials don't know.
You level the playing field and we can debate in a constructive manner, you're a CL for Bob's sake, try to show a modicum of objectivity.
<<It's a fine and reputable source for non-biased, non-partisan information isn't it? >>
So you only accept 'unbiased' news from the likes of Dan Rather at CBS & ABC which is under the control of Mark Halperin?

"Halperin, described by the network as "responsible for the planning and editorial content of all political news on the network," issued new orders.
Both sides distort the truth, he said, adding in effect that Kerry's lies don't matter — but that George W. Bush's most certainly do.
"Kerry distorts, takes out of context, and mistakes all the time, but these are not central to his efforts to win." In contrast, he wrote, "the current Bush attacks on Kerry involve distortions and taking things out of context in a way that goes beyond what Kerry has done" — a point he said was echoed by reporters from such paragons of objectivity as the above-mentioned Newsweek and The New York Times.
Then came the instructions:
"We have a responsibility to hold both sides accountable to the public interest, but that doesn't mean we reflexively and artificially hold both sides 'equally' accountable when the facts don't warrant that.
"It's up to Kerry to defend himself, of course. But as one of the few news organizations with the skill and strength to help voters evaluate what the candidates are saying to serve the public in- terest, now is the time for all of us to step up and do that right."
That is, voters need skillful, strong "help" evaluating information because they are too stupid, too ignorant or too benighted to figure out the "right" way to vote all by themselves.
They need Mark Halperin and his crew of correct-thinkers to explain things to them.
Such arrogance borders on the incomprehensible — and it is unforgivable at this stage of one of the most important presidential elections in American history. "

As a CL, I would expect that.

Who are you trying to kid? Republican offices all over the country are the target of crimal activity and you don't think Democrats are responsible? If this were random, the same things would be happening to Democrat offices and Kerry and Edwards would be screeching to high heavens about it and you know it.

You were the one who jumped into this thread to debate it.
