1. Hey, GOP, thanks for the target list!

Now we can focus our activism where it's most needed. Now, all we need are tips to get us past the call screeners....

[paineinthearse]

2. Simple, just read one of the talking points nt

[autorank]

3. Yeah, well we, the left, are often the hand maidens of the right...

If ya know what I'm sayin';) & I know you do!

[Roland99]

4. They better be careful that they don't do any thinking:

Ever wonder why Right-Wing pundits and admin officials sound like robots when interviewed? Well, wonder no longer!

According to an RNC document,

TO: Southern Republican Leaders
FROM: Robert M. (Mike) Duncan
RE: RNC State Chairmen’s Meeting
DATE: MAY 19, 2005

Republicans are told:

Never think on the air; define the points you want to make in advance; lead with the positive; define what you’re for, not what you’re against; control the tempo-restate the problem without offering an opinion; some questions shouldn’t be answered; they are hypothetical or beyond your scope.

Well, that really just confirms what we’ve all pretty much known for a long time. Just watching any speech or interview by, say, the Propagandist, Scott McClellan, Lawrence DiRita, Ken Mehlman, Dan Bartlett, etc. makes it obvious to see that the lack of thinking is quite present. Trouble is, most of these morons have taken this message too much to heart and now employ that strategy of not thinking on a permanent basis.

5. Very interesting...

and nominated for greatest.

6. Great Stuff For Getting Past The Screener

Once in a while I have fun "truth squadding" a hate radio show. The trick is to get on the air, disarm the host with some friendly banter, then blow them out of their chair into silence.

The first key is getting past the screener, and the GOOP has provided plenty of fodder. All ya gotta do is bookmark this list, pick one from column A, call K-HATE, say this is what you want to talk about...or throw in a couple other dittohead points to add flavoring. Most time a good line of bullshit will get past the interns and minimum wage board-ops that do most of the screening, but these lines will do fine as well.

Just watch Washington Journal and you'll see the blast fax in action every morning...then follow the MOD as its spun throughout the day.

7. Exactly right

So if DU has so many "activists" why have there been just 6 replies overnight? Seems to me we prefer to vent to each other rather than take simle yet effective action.

People, it's all here for you, the toll-free numbers, the talking points, instructions how to get past the screener, friendly banter.

All you need to do is couple with an interesting DU post full of factual truth to refer to and pick up your phone and call!

9. This Place Has Become Bughouse Square

Everyone brings their soapboxes and lets loose. I see a lot of anger and frustration intermixed with other emotions and agendas and can sympathize with much of what I read.

However as a real place of organizing, the frentic and cliquish nature of this place work against it. Threads move too fast and fights are far too common here.

I've limited what I post and get involved with around here. Much of my involvement now is very private and selective as I've encountered my share of good intentions turned bad around here.

Keep up the good fight.

Cheers...

10. To each his/her own

I agree that each of us needs to be working privately and locally, but we also have individual gifts.

Some are gifted in public speaking and verbal communication. Those are the ones who may be interested in arming themselves with this foundation material and "speaking their mind" to the O'Lielies and Limballs of the rw propaganda machine.

[paineinthearse]

8. Step-by-step instructions (with thanks to KharmaTrain)

1. Find a DU post chock full of factual information.
2. Reherse your speech in your mind.
3. Refer to the list, find a toll-free number and call a rw show.
4. Get by the screener by choosing a talking point or two from the list above.
5. Lull the on-air host with some pablum talk.
6. Blast the host with some truth.
7. Post your results here.

:evilgrin:

[Kurovski]

11. Kick.

Actor/activists might find this to be a nice exercise.

12. I wonder if a group of us targeted a show, how much damage could we do?

I've always wanted to get on one of these shows and act like a complete fascist. Ya know, really ham it up at first and then go into some White Nazi Routine. I wonder what would happen to thier shows if all of a sudden it was filled for like 2 weeks with nothing but fake-Nazi callers.
