How are the media ANY different than the PR office of the RNC?
the publicize almost EVERY Single piece of twaddle put out, not just by them, but all the assholes on RW radio, TV, and in their blogosphere

it's mind boggling:

Too thin

too tall

too popular

too overexposed

too risky

too exotic

too "other"

too unpatriotic

too angry

too bitter

too liberal

too flipfloppy

too elitist

too picky (with his food)

too athletic

too inexperienced



can you help me with some more examples (as listed above) of the propaganda spaghetti they throw against the wall?

it's the only thing they have upon which to campaign, and they just toss it up there, see what sticks, and play it for as long as it has legs, with the VERY VERY willing cooperation of the ME$M....

this is SWIFTBOATING on the installment plan

how on earth can it be fought? they will NEVER stop, so what's the answer?

2. Ridicule.
You've just shown how desperate they are.

It's time we laugh at everything they say.

They've proven they are not worth the time for thoughtful consideration.

If not laughter, then ignore them. Be prepared to have a one-sided conversation. Anytime they say something straight out of the "fear playbook", have another conversation about a real issue in the wings.

And be prepared to talk about it by yourself.

6. exactly...and when are the dems going to respond in kind
today it's the lie that Obama gets MORE money from Big Oil than McCain!

when called on it, they hem and haw and say it's from small donors (just to McCain's campaign, NOT to the RNC), neglecting to mention the several million given in total

really sleazy

the fact that it's not true makes NO DIFFERENCE, just like Swiftboat, because their aim is to MAKE the dems answer, put them on the defensive, and keep them from attacking the pugs

truth is irrelevant
