Let's get our own "Talking Points" ready on the DSM.
Advertisements [?]
We've already seen some of the "Talking Points" trying to dismiss the Downing Street Minutes. Let's get our own replies ready for quick answers. Here's a few suggestions:

"That's old news"
ANS: so, you freely ADMIT that the Bush Admin falsified intelligence and lied about the reasons to go to war?

"The term 'fixed' doesn't mean the same thing in Britain that it does here", or "In the UK the term 'fixed' means 'corroborated'" (I have actually seen that last one used!)
ANS: Several UK DUer's have verified that it means exactly the same thing in the UK that it means here. See the following threads:

"Would you rather have Saddam in power and etc.,etc."
ANS: What I would RATHER have is a President that tells the truth.
OR, The majority of Americans agree that we should not have gone to war in Iraq if we knew there were no WMD's, including 58% of Bush supporters:

Those are just some of my thoughts and suggestions. I'm sure other DU'ers can come up with some much better.

So, what RW spin have you heard? What suggestions do you have for our own Talking Points?

Maybe if we can get enough good ones we can send them out to our favorite bloggers. Let's beat Rove at his own game!
