Democrats have to learn how to talk over Repukes

[bleedingheart]

And if I may be so bold I can recommend spending a week at my mom's ... she can talk over anyone and will give every Dem who wishes to put Repukes in their place a lesson in talking over people. It may take longer for some of you but hell she turned my rather calm and good mannered husband into a "talking over" kind of guy...she can do it with anyone.

I am reading Conason's Big Lies and he states that Dems have to get up and fight... well part of that means leaving good manners at the door. Talk over the republicans... learn to project your voice loudly over them... start using some of the tricks of the right.. we need to have a dictionary of words to describe republicans...like

Robber Baron
Greedy
Selfish
..etc

I do this at work and I can't tell you how many republicans I intimidate..you know the kind that come up and try to belittle you about every stupid inane Clinton issue... Well not with me, I talk over em and I speak louder than them but I remain calm while doing it, it always throws em for a loop especially if you talk loud enough to call attention to them. I always use a tone which implies they are invading my space and being rude to me, its hysterical but it works!

Dems are itching to have candidates and advocates who yells back!

1. Right you are!

I try and talk over some of them too and even had one guy offer to take a swing at me. I told him, "lets go for it" and he backed down quickly. They can't understand reason, so they offer to beat up folks and when a guy stands up to that, they slink away with their tails between their legs.

2. i absolutely agree!!!

1000%! i've been saying this for so long, we must fight, we must be aggressive, me must learn how to beat them at their own game...


i love the term "aggressive progressive" - that certainly describes me...

3. Conason, Ivins, Moford and Franken et al are leading the way

they've shown that while the repug tricks are underhanded and vulgar (albeit effective) they are not invulnerable. Just need to continually pummel them with the facts. Just da facts. ;-)

4. Can I talk now?

Do you believe in monopolies?

Do you like to hear yourself talk?

Do you promise not to interrupt me?

Are you finished?

There are several ways to get them to shut up...We know they are going to be loud and obnoxious and that they are going to interrupt. We have to be ready for that.

5. Ann Richards said, "Hush!" and Ann Coulter hushed.

It happened on Politically Incorrect and I was fortunate enough to see it.

One doesn't have to imitate them to make them look juvenile and foolish.

6. We need to make them look like loud children....

That is the way to make them look foolish...not by trying to outshout them.

7. they are like children

John Kerry looks French
Hiliary is a lesbian
Chelsea Clinton is the white house dog
You are anti american
blah blah
Hey republicans kiss my ass, I dont wanna hear how my tax dollars should be spent on bombing someone to hell rather than helping someone.

9. unfortunately, it's not as easy at it looks

ask Conason himself

he was sandbagged bigtime by Tweety and Dennis Prager last week, rarely allowed to get a word in, and reduced several times to demanding Prager shut his yap.

when Prager shat up, Tweet started in, and he really wasn't able to get much of his point across, other than that of being a victim of just the kind of tactics being discussed here.

when he gets a chance to speak, he usually more than holds his own, but they were deTERMINED not to let him say much of anything.

real horrorshow, that one.

best parts, though, were (((ONE))) when yellowsnake INSISTED Ann Coulter had only been on his show ONE TIME. he really needs to have that one shoved up him, cause that's SO clearly not true.

and (((TWO)))===> and has been noted at DU already <===== when Conason asked to have Coulter on with him, as she refuses his offers to 'discuss' issues with him, and Matthews said he wasn't interested in anything like that. somebody ought to axe him why......
