GOP attack machine rush to discredit Dem response spokesman

Earlier remarks were positive
In advance of Rieckhoff’s remarks, Republicans circulated televised comments he made last year in Iraq in which he gave a brighter picture of U.S. prospects.

“I think we’ve made incredible strides,” Rieckhoff said in a CBS “60 Minutes II” segment broadcast last October.

In a brief interview Saturday with The Associated Press, Rieckhoff said he had not been free to speak out in the TV interview because he had been on active duty.

Rieckhoff said he is not working for the Kerry campaign or for the Democratic Party. He contacted Kerry staffers who deal with veterans issues when he returned from Iraq three months ago, and they “provided me with the forum. I wrote every word.”

Rieckhoff is an Amherst College graduate who spent two years on Wall Street as an investment banking analyst before joining the National Guard. He said he plans now to return to university.

...look GOP dickheads, when you WORK FOR THE MAN, you "accentuate the positive, and de-emphasize the negative". Obviously these GOP shitheads have never held a job.

The next day, GOP operatives leak film to the media, where Kerry, talking about the same glass, referred to it as "half full."

I swrear it's a CULT .

He could not say anything negative while he was in the army and on active duty. Remember how they dealt with those soldiers that dared talk to reporters and say they did not have equipment or water? They were threatened immediately.

the Bushies see it as suspicious that the six months since his other comments
might have changed his mind?

I guess for them it might be, since their opinions don't seem to be affected by reality.

What would you want to bet we will now be able to hear this address and the media outlets will now feel compelled to analyze what was said? In some form, these attack dogs are writing the headlines that Kerry needs!
