How To Start a Civil War in the Republican Party, Part 1:

[kurth]

... Right now, the conditions exist to destroy the Republican Party from within, and it's all courtesy of the Dubai ports deal. If James Carville's a-readin', here's whatcha gotta know and do: However much Democrats couch their outrage over the United Arab Emirates running parts of U.S. ports in terms of national security, administration incompetence, and the UAE's own sketchy record, the undercurrent of racism and xenophobia exists. Republicans are fuckin' scared to death that Democrats will be able to exploit this part of the equation. It's the reason that those screaming "Racism" at the top of their lungs are reliable lackeys, like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. Others on the right, though, are happy to fan those fuckin' flames.

The real mandate-worthy majority of the nation is against the deal, not because the people understand the ins and outs of port security and international business deals. It's because the country is from the Middle East. And, extra special added bonus, it's got the word "Arab" in its name. Therein lies the key to wrecking the Republican Party. Just as the GOP wants to exploit African American churches, traditional bastions of Democratic support, by pushing the gay marriage issue, Democrats can exploit the latent racism of many supporters of the Republican Party through a few easy steps:

1. Whenever a Democrat appears on a talking head extravaganza (which, these days, is rarely), that Democrat needs to say the name "United Arab Emirates" repeatedly. Don't say "Arab nation" or anything that indicates you might be racially queasy about the deal. Just the real (English) name of the real nation. Constant repetition of the word "Arab" will make many, many Republicans disgusted with grief at their party selling out to non-whites. Democrats should do the same in speeches.

2. Whenever confronted with a Republican, a Democrat should try to get that Republican to take a stand, an especially tasty move for Senators: "Senator, do you support the President? Do you support your Senate leader, Bill Frist, who says he's 'comfortable' letting the United Arab Emirates run U.S. ports?" ...

3. Get word out into the Right Blogsylvania , the Freeper spit buckets (link from Pam's House Blend), and other real and virtual spaces to build a groundswell of momentum.

I get kinda queasy even taking a peek see at those sites...kinda like reading Faux news. Seriously, it's taking a page from the Republican campaign handbook - they have been doing that to the American people for years, time to shove it in their faces and win our nation back into the service of the people

3. Hellz yeah

4. Repeat ad nauseum that this is a "Republican" idea to sell our security to the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, not the president's idea. It's a Republican idea. The Republicans think it's okay to sell our security to our enemy so corporate profits can rise. Democrats are against this.
