Bush Aides Promise To Lie

A front page story in the Sunday New York Times details the plans by Bush aides for the Republican National Convention in NYC. Top on their list? Lying.

"Mr. Bush's advisers said they were girding for the most extensive street demonstrations at any political convention since the Democrats nominated Hubert H. Humphrey in Chicago in 1968. But in contrast to that convention, which was severely undermined by televised displays of street rioting, Republicans said they would seek to turn any disruptions to their advantage, by portraying protests by even independent activists as Democratic-sanctioned displays of disrespect for a sitting president."

Note the words I've italed. Bush aides happily admit they are going to LIE and claim that American citizens they know to be independent are working with the Democrats. And the Times doesn't even blink.

ADDED NOTE FROM JOHN: ONE MONTH AGO I reported that Republican sources said the GOP was planning to use protesters at the GOP convention to tar the Dems, they had already rented TV trucks to beam photos of the most outrageous protesters to Christian broadcasting networks, etc.
