gannongate has lead to uncovering the media manipulation story

[cap]

I think this is the first strike on our counterattack. If we can choke off the RW echo chamber, we can stop a lot of Bush propaganda and halt the Bush agenda. I dont think swift boats for social security is going to matter.

1. It is a golden opportunity

Will our "leadership" use it? I haven't seen any evidence that they will, but I want to be hopeful,

3. It IS a golden opportunity! Will our "leadership" use it?

They SHOULD if they had Any fucking sense.

Use it in the larger context of propaganda and payoffs...

2. actually..

i saw the so called add last night on msm by the swift boat jerks..and it has a guy on one side with a turban with an x in front of him..and then two men kissing on the second side...
personally i think many americans will be highly offended seeing AARP protrayed like that, many seniors in this country get suplemental helath insurance throug AARP that they could not afford any other way..
actually i see it as a wonderful tool to go after * with...we must ask is that * kissing his white house whore/prostitute..i would say..takes one to know one..gee *hy boy..do you have gay envy??
whats the deal with *'es constant use and abuse of gays for his political man-date?? i think its envy... when those ads come out we need to get them and put bush and gannons heads on the kissing guys..and make flyers and pass them out..everywhere..there are many of you who are great with graphics..we need to be ready..and make copies with * and gannon..and pass them everywhere..but print on the top..do you want * and his prostitute stealing your social security money and your future security.

we need to be the media..we need to stand in front of grocery stores and pass out flyers with this on it..we need to give them out at gas stations...at drug stores, at the beach, everywhere..and we need to all do it..just think how many people we could educate using their propaganda against them??

i say bring it on...i just need help putting *'es head and gannon s head on it for me..i am not that good with graphics...
this would be one grandma type who will stand in front of the grocery store and gladly hand them out to the seniors here in fla!

but we need to be ready and willing to do it..we must be as organized as the nutwings!

4. Yep, it is the key to opening this can of worms administration....

As most everything they've done has been based on lies and the echo chamber. "9/11 + Saddam", "Iraq +9/11", "WMD+Iraq", "Social Security+bankruptcy" etc.......

5. This didn't just start with the swiftboaters.

I went out to buy "The Hunting of the President" and "Blinded by the Right" because I expect to find the same tactics used by the right-wingers in the 90s. Remember what Bush said about his dad and Dukakis. No one ever took those nut-cases to task. Lack of accountability goes back to Oliver North. No one can touch these well-connected white men. I'm just wondering how far it will go before the rest of America catches on to what's happened and demand that something gets done about it.

6. Out Them, out Them Good...

There should be (or maybe there already is one) some sort of a "web clearinghouse" on who's who in the republican propaganda machine. Not a "watch-list" per se (don't like the sound of that...), but a place where Joe-Voter can check up the name of prominent pundits, columnist etc. to learn more about them. And, not the least, the connection between them.

IMO that could, if done right, be an extremely powerful tool to undermind their concerted efforts to deceive the public on just about everything...
