That's the key.

Don't let the counterattack simply be a "No it's not" response to one of their untruths.

It has to be a sharp, scathing truth about them. One that looks, sounds and feels louder than the bomb they lobbed.
And it has to hit people in the gut. Not just policy points (Which are important, but let's face it, that doesn't work with mass audiences).
