I’d love to see how they fare in Big Mac.

Obama is going to be busy speaking to put out the fires he is creating by his own propoganda. I can’t think of a president that had such a short honeymoon. Will he make it or will he resign? Will he fire staff members and secretly ask for desperate help? I wouldn’t be concerned about Obama and his propoganda campaign. Obama is going to self-destruct in his first term.

and attend a Tea Party. Activism has been idle for the R brand so this may test the other side. What happens after the Tea Parties is unknown but they are a start.

We want to make sure that you folks get your fair share.

No, I’m not joking.

The Obama team pulls out the old campaign database and gives the ‘bots their marching orders. People can probably download talking points and sample sign slogans at the site. About as real as astroturf.

Meanwhile, the press refuses to cover real grassroots initivatives like the Tea Parties, which are building in numbers and momentum. And no one in control of the bitter and clingy masses showing up at these things! How soon before the Attorney General decides that these gatherings are getting out of hand and starts to direct local gov’t to stop issuing permits for these events?

but FDR packed the Supreme Court and they came down with a decision that the Congress can spend on anything under the “Common Good” provision. Totally bogus invention by the court but there you go.

When a modern day Gibbon writes the “Decline and Fall of the American Empire” it will start right at this court decision.

I don’t deny the circumstances before TV that are mentioned and radio may also have caused a lesser version (I do think that the FDR protection on the wheelchair was more a matter of good taste participated in by all, incl repubs), plus, there is an inherent attraction for liberals to journalism – I will try and find the link to a brilliant column on this by a liberal from a year ago.

But, most of our history was one of almost ALL partisan press with dems and repubs, federalists and whigs, having their respective newspapers in cities.

The limitations on broadcast TV channels made it possible for libs to monopolize the three networks that most Americans got their news from.

It was impossible for them to monopolize radio and esp newspapers before TV.

…than you were before Speaker Pelosi?”

Rush Limbaugh as “the face of the Republican Party” is alot more appealing than Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid as “the faces of the Democratic Party”. Just a blooper reel for either set to ‘repeat’ ought to be enough to flip a few close House Seats.

One could venture further back in time than the 1930's, but I chose the age of television on purpose. Too few Americans have any historical perspective that pre-dates their birth. When was the last time you saw anything like this on network television? (Sorry, embed disabled by request.) And, that was "inside" the convention hall.

You mean they’re going to take the Gitmo terrorists and just drop them off at random street corners in the US?

Surely, you can’t mean that.

You mean they are going to put the Gitmo terrorists in US prisons which are too flimsy and weak to adequately house them?

Is that what you mean?

Darn that Obama! Putting us all in danger like that . . .

with FDR, and Jonah Goldberg makes a good case that it dates to at least the time of Woodrow Wilson. It shows up in subtle things like never taking a picture of FDR that actually shows him in a wheelchair up through major “open secrets” like JFK’s dalliances. I regard the adoption of the term “Nazi” as one of the most successful salvos in the campaign of lies. It completely obscures the Socialist part of “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” while permitting one group of progressive leftists, the international socialists in the USSR to define the Nazi’s as a “right-wing” party because they were ever so infinitesimally to the right of their party, and there by smear anybody else on the right for the corruption, debauchery, and slaughter propagated by an objectively leftist party. If Americans ever recognize this truth, no leftist will ever be elected again. The MSM help promulgate this meme in the 1930′s and 40s and know they have to keep it up even now or the whole thing will definitely collapse in on them.

Obama has been one continuous propaganda war since his mother saw an opportunity to make a new man socialist.

But the announcement of this proves a few things:
1. The tea parties are scaring the statists
2. Even the Obama elites are having buyer’s remorse
3. The campaign against Rush was a miserable failure
4. More and more people disbelieve the crap coming out of the Dems so they have to shout a lot louder.

Short term: misery. Long term: Potentially enormous backlash. This is their greatest fear. We have to hang in there and fight back.

the ‘What have the Dems done since 06′ website/campaign.

the fact that Dems have controlled Congress since ’06 had been our mantra the entire election. People have to be made to care. Simply telling them, or even showing them, is clearly not enough (let’s face it: if facts were all we needed, BHO wouldn’t be in the WH making our lives miserable right now).

It isn’t enough to simply keep pushing. We need new strategies in getting that message out, and in making it SEEM as relevant as it ACTUALLY IS.

Dems have controlled Congress since 06 and this should be stressed whenever the Rebs say anything on the budget, as the Dems were the one that wrote it/pssed it.
