'Dirty Tricks' Forum
I think it would be a good idea to have one forum devoted to the dirty tricks that we know will be coming at us in this election cycle. A thread could be started by State and each sub-thread could be for the specific district that a Republican is using dirty or even illegal tactics. Might be a good resource for pre-emptively dealing with election fraud.

Here's an example:

1. I love that idea
They have already started their crap in MO, as evidenced in that link.

They are especially nasty over the stem cell proposal. The fundies are out in full force, telling one lie right after another.

2. What about a 'Hate Watch' forum as well?
Was just thinking about this when your post came up. Thought instead of starting another, just to add on! Please forgive the hitch-hiking! <smile>

Southern Poverty Law Center: http://www.splcenter.org/intel/hatewatch/hatewatch.jsp

Hate Watch would be a forum to post news stories, editorial rants, internet findings of any group or individual spreading hate/terror towards another group or individuals.

3. I think that's a very good idea. Have them all in one place for
easier reference.

10. You know what? Dirty tricks are a means to an end.
If the end is good...is that bad?

11. Hey, I can be as Macchiavellian as the next guy.
And if winning is everything, then I'm in. Whatever it takes. Because if we don't start WINNING, we can't do ANYTHING ELSE.

12. Think of it as fun
Just over at FReeperville, and they are once again having fits about Wal-Mart reaching out to LGBT shoppers:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1710699/posts

I think it would be funny as hell for people to dress up like Dana Carvey's Church Lady and protest Wal-Mart on this issue.

1) hurt Wal-Mart in retaliation for their abuse of the working class

2) hurt Wal-Mart for the upcoming voter registration of their employees - with you know will be GOP-driven

3) all the rest of Wal-Mart's sins.
