OFFICE ATTACK INDEX
"Office attacks," I wrote after Howard's victory, "might be a new measure of electoral success." If so, bet on Bush:
Yesterday, the Bush campaign provided a list of more than 40 examples it said had occurred since July, including the burglary from campaign offices of several items: two laptop computers in Seattle; a banner in Thousand Oaks, Calif.; petty cash in Spokane, Wash.; as well as break-ins last Friday in both Flagstaff, Ariz., and Cincinnati.
Violence against you = votes for you! (Other Bulletin columns may be found here.)

Posted by: Major John at October 27, 2004 at 02:16 AMNice theory, but it doesn't explain why Tony Abbott -- whose office was smeared with shit -- had a 2PP swing against him.
Posted by: Robert at October 27, 2004 at 03:22 AMThis has all the earmarks of a Karl Rove plot. I expect the Kerry Committee will be anouncing this soon.
Posted by: George at October 27, 2004 at 03:30 AMWe had all the Bush signs in our neighborhood stolen except for the one in my yard. Nothing left but Kerry signs now. Strange that mine would remain but my neighbor's would disappear. I tend to see a lot of torn up Bush signs as well. Just out of curiosity, do any of you Kerry supporters feel threatened in any way?

Posted by: EddieP at October 27, 2004 at 04:58 AMGuy From Ohio - all the Kerry supporters I know *live* on the feeling of being threatened. It's their meat and drink to get together and give each other chills about the godawful things that will happen once the BusHitler is re-elected, and talk about moving to Canada, etc etc etc. Of course, they have no concrete incidents of they themselves personally being threatened/harassed/having signs torn up - but it's happening! They *know* it's happening, and they love the thrill!
Frankly, they remind me of a lot of kids huddled together in a tent telling each other those standby kiddie horror stories about the China Doll and the Golden Finger. They enjoy it because in their hearts they know - it ain't real.

Well, there's the difference to kids. I have little doubt that plenty of ABB'ers (can't quite call them Kerry supporters) don't actually realize they're living in a world of their own make-believe.

Is there any way I can read the second half of your latest Bulletin article without having to subscribe? I tried www.bugmenot.com but the Bulletin wasn't recognised.....

The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese communists were directly steering John Kerry's antiwar group Vietnam Veterans Against the War has been discovered in a U.S. archive,
Corsi says the documents show how the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong, the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, the Communist Party of the USA and Kerry's VVAW worked closely together to achieve the Vietnamese communists' primary objective – the defeat of the U.S. in Vietnam.
"We now have evidence Madame Binh was directing the antiwar movement ... and the person who implemented her strategy was John Kerry."
