Republicans Outsource Kerry
Attack groups to India


Republican operatives are trying to get more bang for their buck by outsourcing operations for independent political groups to attack John Kerry. Their latest organization, Citizens In The Same Boat Swiftly Opposed To Kerry, comprises citizens of Bangalore, India.

The group held a press conference to unveil a television ad in which several of its members denounce Kerry as being a “snake, thief and lying lizard.” In response to questions by reporters, however, several of the men who appeared in the ad admitted that they actually had no idea who John Kerry is.

"I think he's the night manager of one of our American call center operations," offered one of the group's founders, Vinod Patel.

Republican political consultants said the cost benefit of using outsourced groups overseas more than outweighed any questions about their credibility. “For the price of funding a single attack group in the U.S., we can create twelve similar operations in India. The press loves controversy, whether it’s truthful doesn’t matter,” said a consultant involved in the effort.
