Kerry supporter advocates dirty tricks
NY Daily News. EFL
One of [haughty, French-looking] Sen. John Kerryâs celebrity supporters is ready to pull out all the stops to get him elected. Republicans are shrieking over a suggestion by rocker Moby that Democrats spread gossip about President Bush on the Internet.
They're not doing that now? | "No oneâs talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day," Moby tells us. "Itâs a lot easier than you think and it doesnât cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes." Moby suggests that itâs possible to seed doubt among Bushâs far-right supporters on the Web. "You target his natural constituencies," says the Grammy-nominated great white whale techno-wizard. "For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms in your troll suit and say youâre an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion. . . ."
And of course, Bush supporters, being as dumb as he is, would believe that right off the bat. Just like we believe everything Fizzle sez... | Moby didnât claim that he believed the abortion story. . . .
According to the story, a Kerry spokseperson declined to condemn the proposed tactics, or to distance the senator from his cetacean supporter.
Anyone got a harpoon handy?
