How to best take the wind from their sails: You Don't Speak For Me Cindy

[Fridays Child]

Does anyone have an idea of the size of this group coming into Crawford on Saturday? Their itinerary was just updated here, and it includes several radio broadcasts, along the way.

Would any local stations in those cities be willing to invite a Gold Star Mom for Peace or a Veterans for Peace spokesperson to come on the air and talk about Cindy's message?

Their schedule ends after a dusk vigil in Crawford, on Saturday night. Will they be leaving? Driving out to Camp Casey?

1. Wasn't it Cindy Sheehan herself that said she didn't want to speak for

anyone but herself?

She has more class in her little finger than the whole propaganda group. Shame on them.

2. never let the truth get in the way of a good lie!

8. heh heh what was I thinking

:eyes:

Bush just said that there are many who lost their loved ones who don't feel as Cindy Sheehan does....I wonder if those numbers are closer to Bush's approval rating than he'd like to admit.

[Fridays Child]

3. Yes, shame on them but they're getting excellent coverage...

...and I hope somebody smarter than me is figuring out how to turn it to Cindy's advantage.

9. All she has to do is keep doing what she's doing

and we need to keep the focus on her desire to meet with * for an explanation. As long as the protest remains fixed on that we'll be fine (It's the anti-Cindy protesters that are creating the frazzled foggy mess, she's keeping it simple).

4. You really want to bust them? Tape them with a date and time stamp

Which can be made visible during playback. During the 2000 recount, the Smirk supporters all arrived together and all left together, and always at the same time. If they're there enough days, it gets extremely obvious: Monday 9:30 everybody gets off the bus; Monday 4:30 everybody gets on the bus; Tuesday the same; Wednesday the same; etc., etc., etc.

Get lots of footage of anybody who's organizing the protesters. Since they're coming by bus, there will be at least one person.

Interview the protesters in a completely neutral way. Get as much information as you can.

Then cut it together and submit it to Current:

I wish I'd had a camcorder during the 2000 recount, because I talked to a lot of Smirk supporters about why they were there and why the supported Smirk. Some of them volunteered that they were (racist) skinheads and Neo-Nazis.

5. Astroturf vs. real grassroots?

I'd also love to see who's financing them. Probably Richard Mellon Scaife or Exxon.

13. Astroturf is exactly what it is. Sick the freeway bloggers on her.

6. Chant back "We don't speak for you"

And watch their faces contort with confusion.

:evilgrin:

10. HA

7. This is another FAKE movement. A female (Rush) RADIO host for a station

in SF of all places. She's probably working for Clear Channel. Getting paid to do this by a Republican sugar daddy. She's trying to produce real people by creating a BUZZ hoping BORED people will come out to see what's up. A FAKE deal. FAKE FAKE FAKE!

Here's what I would do. She's marketing her fake protest to try to get some real people (customer props) to show up to give her product authenticy. I'd find out the route the caravan is taking and get some FREEWAY BLOGGERS to put up signs saying FAKE MOVEMENTS DON'T COUNT! or FAKE RALLY PAID FOR BY CLEAR CHANNEL! or THE WOMAN LEADING THIS FAKE MOVEMENT HAS FAKE BOOBS!

You get the idea!

11. She's the reformed gamblaholic. Careful w/ your cash, there, freepers.

[Joanne98]

12. After she's done humilating herself. We'll get her FIRED!

San Fran is OUR CITY.

We built this city on ROCK AND ROLL.

That means....

MOVE BITCH!
