OK, How do we get Clark to stick it

[in_cog_ni_to]

to the MEDIA???? He HAS to go on the offense. It's so OBVIOUS they want to destroy this man and he CANNOT let them continue on the same path as the last 2 weeks. We ALL saw the pundits tonight and they HATE Wes! They want him out....he has to nip it in the bud...right here and now. How do we get him to do that? He can't remain the "nice" guy anymore. Any opinions? Suggestions?

Go Wes!

[MariaS]

1. My Suggestion

is a full out frontal assault everytime those traitors of the American people try their crap. Bombard them with emails. As many as we can from as many people as we can all at once. Maybe we could form some sort of watchdog group that can alert us when to hit back. Just a thought

[hlthe2b]

3. This is tricky... I think it would be best many hi profile supporters

start speaking out. He sort of has to stay above the fray, but clearly needs to call them on their BS DURING his interviews...

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. That's a thought!

Send Charlie Rangel out after the pundits. He's good. Who else would be a good spokesperson? Michael Moore WOULD have been before the AWOL thing. :( Bill Clinton? :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. I like that idea.

I mailed 5 emails out just yesterday to pundits who spent the entire day making snide rude remarks about Wes. HE needs to do something himself. He needs to call a press conference and tell the American people what is going on, call the media out on their bullshit!....they need to know that the pundits are out to get him. He needs to take down every pundit that throws STUPID questions at him. He should refuse to discuss anything but his POSITIONS! He must make an offensive move on the media himself!

Go Wes!

20. Call & Write to General Electric!!

That's where the money is...

Tell them Tweety is unfair, & we're boycotting GE products!!!

[lcordero]

2. from what was said about his latest appearances

he wasn't quite the nice guy, he didn't let anybody even think that they can step on him.

[kentuck]

4. FOX TV said he was "sinking like the Hindenburg".....

He might want to remind them, in a humorous way of course, that th Hindenburg hasn't crashed yet! Just add the comment in his speeches in the next week. Because most of the media are cowards when they are called on their little tricks.

[Woodstock]

8. Fox is for the borg

They wouldn't know the truth if it hit them in the face. We should stop wasting time over them. To have them diss Clark is a complement. I hope he stands firm against them.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. If it was just Faux News

I wouldn't give a crap, but it's ALL of them! MSNBC, CNN, Faux, NBC, CBS, ABC....all of them. They want him out.

[DoYouEverWonder]

19. I hope their attempts to dismiss Clark

back fire big time.

The behavior of the press and their blatant biases need to be made a major issue. I am tired of airhead news readers bashing anything or anyone that resembles a democrat or opposes their anointed one GW Bu$h. This goes for their treatment of all the other democratic candidates too, not just Clark.

[Turkw]

26. I though the Hindenburg caught on fire, that's what we want for the Clark

campaign!

[Padraig18]

5. Don't pick a fight with people who...

... own printing presses and buy ink by the barrel.

My $.02.

[lovedems]

9. Very wise advice. If he looks like he is mad, they will say he can't

handle the pressure. He needs to be careful, take a few deep breaths and talk about the future and his plans for it. He is a smart man with good ideas. He should go to Clinton for help. The master of politics.

[Leilani]

18. Agreed

They hate Dean & Clark.

They loved Edwards & talked him up!

[John_H]

6. Clark can't do anything. WE have to do it.

Many of you like e-mail. I like the telphone. If you're a good bulshitter you can at least get to a producer, and if, like me, you are a little off, there is something oddly cathartic about telling some poor 25 year old Hardball producer what a lying sack of shit her boss is.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. I like your "offness"

LOL! My husband is the same way....he loves a good argument! ;)I think they just ignore emails. They MUST get 100's a day. Something has to be done though. :(

[Mz Pip]

11. Remember that old West Wing

where Barlett kept getting hammered until someone on his staff finally figures out "Let Bartlett be Bartlett"?

What turned me on to Clark was he early unprogrammed appearances and his Town Hall meetings where he speaks from knowledge and experience and his own quiet passion. That needs to come out when he deals with the like of Wolf.

He needs to relax and go for the juggular with these guys. He doesn't have to trash the other candidates but he does have to go on the offense when he's being interviewed by the press.

12. Q&A

Q: Is it unethical to let someone who introduces you call Bush a deserter?
A: I think it's unethical to deny anyone their First Amendment rights.

Q: Do you think Bush is a deserter?
A: I don't know. Maybe if we had an investigative journalist in the building, we could get to the bottom of this.

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. hehe

yup...hit 'em where it hurts! They all lack integrity and ethics...don't know if it would matter to them. :grr:

[LTR]

17. ROTF!!!

Maybe if we had an investigative journalist in the building, we could get to the bottom of this.

Great line!!!

Of course, they'd really hate him if he said that!

[bobbyboucher]

14. He just needs to keep swinging.

Most people are just beginning to tune in.

[Kathleen04]

21. He has to steer the direction

of the conversation when he's being interviewed. He did a great job on MTP on Sunday, Tim kept asking him about Michael Moore and Clark kept getting in so much more information about himself into his responses. It was excellent, he has to keep that up.

[Qutzupalotl]

22. Remind the viewers of the pundits' motivations.

Well, one of them, anyway:

"I understand your desire to try to take me out of the running. People like you, Wolf, who make maybe half a million a year, are going to have to give back the Bush tax cuts under my administration. What I'm asking you to do is to do the right thing, and not hand down the national debt to our grandchildren."

Q: So, when are you dropping out?
A: When you stop beating your wife. Listen, I've been in uphill battles before. I'm no stranger to danger.

[LTR]

24. Send your resume to Clark04 ASAP!!!

I like your responses! I practically spit beer all over the monitor reading that!

Of course, if Clark uses any of them, he'll never get any kind of love from the media.

But to dream. Ahhh!

[Kathleen04]

27. "Q: So when are you dropping out?...

A: When you stop beating your wife. Listen, I've been in uphill battles before. I'm no stranger to danger."

I heard DK had a quip like this the other day, he said something like 'when you lose your job at CNN'...haha..anybody else hear this?..I heard in 2nd or 3rd hand so I don't know the exact " ".

[laruemtt]

23. i noticed he ends all his speeches with

"thank you, thank you very much." that's good, but after that a really resounding "god bless america!" take it back from * et al

[shoopnyc123]

25. Clark is a slow burn...

That military training will come in handy, trust me...and, he's Capricorn! They are known for stealth.......

[Qutzupalotl]

28. The elephant in the room...media consolidation

Take any blatant attack and turn it around by exposing the motivations behind it.

"When I'm president, companies like yours, Wolf, who try to monopolize the message by buying up all the stations, are going to be forced to have a fire sale. So in that light, your leading questions make sense, and I think people can see what your motivations are."
