we should start a campaign to give the statue of liberty back to France

[Nordic]

I've long been thinking we need to use the media as it exists now, which is dreadful, to serve us as best as possible.

This brings up the notion of media stunts.

Since they don't cover important things, why not some stunts?

I think a campaign to give the Statue of Liberty back to France would be a good one.

After all, it's French. The repubs now hate the French, right? If you go on any RW boards, they insult people by calling them "Frenchies" and accusing them of being French.

Furthermore, we sure don't need a symbol of "welcoming" and "liberty" anymore, since those days are OVER. the RW wants them to be over.

So we should melt that fucker down and make pennies out of it, or give it back.

Just a thought.

1. We must march against Fox and the rigged election.

Not talk. Action. STREET action. Action in the STREETS. Huge public protest. A joint protest against the rigged election and Fox right in front of Fox World Headquarters in New York with the chant, “Rupert Murdoch, tell the truth! Fascists rigged the voting booth!” Fox is headquartered in mid-Manhattan on the SECOND floor. We’re going to be right outside their windows by the thousands screaming our guts out where they can hear us. Bad vibrations? Too bad studio soundproofing isn’t perfect. We must deny them legitimacy at all costs. Bush didn’t win. His election is a fake. Vast numbers of Americans still don’t know this because Bush shills like Fox cover it up. Fox must be targeted. Their headquarters are in New York. The other papers and media in New York will cover this protest because they all hate Fox’s living guts in New York. See this blog:

Add your comments there, keep that thread kicked. There’s going to be a huge march in New York combining protest against the rigged election and the Bush shills like Fox who cover it up, a double whammy. After that, the cat will be out of the bag and Bush will have lost legitimacy.

Why is that important? Because legitimacy is essential for de facto power. Official or “de jure” power is not enough for a leader to maintain control. He has to also have the INTANGIBLES of legitimacy — de facto authority. That’s why presidents can become lame ducks in their second term. Bush must be denied LEGITIMACY. His whole presidency must be publicly DELEGITIMIZED. People in other countries will hear about the march too. This will add to his difficulties diplomatically overseas. To deny legitimacy we must march against the rigged election.

Where? At the number one shill covering it up — Fox. Fox Headquarters in New York. Fox may or may not admit we are in front of their New York offices but the other New York news organizations will because they hate Fox. See the above blog for full details on that and the whole march plan. See and post on the above thread to get involved. Keep that thread kicked.

2. Don't forget the Loiusiana Purchase!

Hell, we only won the American Revolution because of French intervention, so might as well give up the whole works.

I bounced this off a freeper once, he about shit bricks.

4. France also considered helping the Confederacy....

....so I wouldn't get to locked in to the "France is our oldest and dearest friend" schtick.

France has been and always will be a friendly rival. Sometimes our national interests meet and sometimes they do not.

6. Who said that they're our oldest and dearest friend? Not me...eom
