If you could create a team of Experts to fight the Right...

[ck4829]

Who would it be?

And it can be anyone BTW (living or dead)

Here's my Team.

1. Sigmund Freud (He would have a field day psychoanalyzing the RW'ers)
2. Jesus (To show them what Jesus was really like. And NO, he didn't speak English!)
3. FDR (To create a New New Deal)
4. Michael Moore (Just to tick off the RW'ers and to tell the truth while we're at it)

1. As long as anybody you pick gets their choice....

...of weapons, up to and including nuclear, I'm in.

2. My list

yours is good, but I'd add:

5. Mohammed (because he would be best buddies with Jesus and would show folks that what the RWingers say about Muslims are lies-and would let folks know that al Qaeda doesn't follow the tenets of Islam)

6. Abraham Lincoln (because his policies would be more in line with the Democrats-I'd love to see Honest Abe denounce the current repukes)

7. Harry Trueman (who knew how to give 'em hell)

8. Cindy Sheehan (to remind everyone of the cost of this illegal war)

3. We had a wonderful little dog who died a few years ago

He was an excellent friend, well behaved and just a joy to be around. You can't make such attributes to those on the right. Maybe they need happy dogs around to make them feel good about themselves.

I'd have them listen to an hour long lecture by Charles Darwin so they might discover he's not the lunatic monster they make him out to be.

4. My team: Ickes,Bubba,FDR,Marshalls,Bacall and JFK

First thoughts...

1)Harold Ickes, senior or junior. Both are smart and mean as snakes.
2)Bubba. The guy's really smart.
3)FDR. A really great liar. We need one.
4)George C. Marshall to add a touch of sobriety. Not afraid to say 'no' to FDR's crazy ideas.
5)John Marshall too.
6)Lauren Bacall. Spokesman. A good, smart, sexy, bare-knuckle Democrat to get people's attention and get our message across. Not afraid to throw a punch literally or figuratively.
7)JFK. Quick in a debate.

5. For a spokesman and debater, I'd choose David Corn

He can shut down a wingnut argument faster than Shrub mentions Saddam with 9/11.

6. Kinda like the Fantastic Four of Liberalism?

Mine will be more like the Fantastic Six or Seven, though.

1. Jesus Christ--just to smite their asses whenever they lie.

2. Jean-Paul Sartre--He was an atheist existentialist. He'd have a ball destroying the God Warriors in the Puke Party.

3. Lyndon Johnson--A Texas Democrat with enough hot sauce in him to shut up any RW lies immediately.

4. Sigmund Freud--Using the word "penis" 37 times in every sentence, he'd reduce every single RW statement to a sexual urge.

5. Thomas Jefferson--The man who wrote the Declaration of Independence could perhaps "refresh" the RW as to exactly what principles this nation was founded on. (Hint: They're not Christian principles.)

[Captain Hilts]

8. Yeah, I thought about TJ, but he didn't believe in a strong...

federal government.

He was more of an agrarian guy.

But, yes, he's good on religious issues.

And I think he'd get it on with Lauren "Betty" Bacall.

7. A quick list

Henry Waxman
Thom Hartmann
Constance Rice
Paul Krugman
Bill Moyers
Frances Beinecke
Steven Aftergood

[RoBear]

9. Jesus didn't speak English??

It's obvious he did. Haven't you read the bible in the original, the King James version?

As one of my friends used to say (sarcastically of course) "if the King James version was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me!"

[Captain Hilts]

10. Or "If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for you.

"Ma" Ferguson, Gov Texas to school children being taught in Spanish.

[Lannes]

11. Theodore Roosevelt

Trust buster,conservationist,Nobel peace prize winner,early advocate of consumer protection,worker's rights,advocate of scientific research to name a few.

A man who could say "I was a republican(for a while) and you people are a discrace to America and the party."

[SpiralHawk]

12. 4 Traditional Grandmothers from Indigenous Nations

They would all meet for 4 days and 4 nights with the Tops from the NeoCon Kabal. No escape, save for bathroom breaks. No food or water. All fasting together in a grotto deep in the forest near where the mountains rise.

This would help enormously.

[FreedomAngel82]

13. My list

1) Harry Reid

2) Al Gore

3) Stephanie Miller and her co-host's (they're hilarious cause sometimes you have to laugh or you'll cry)

4) John Kerry (another one that ticks off the rwingers)
