Reproductive Freedom
Islam
Judaism
Hinduism
Other Religions
Atheism
Liberal Christianity
Interfaith
Democrats

This list is a list of people, things, and groups that the Far Right actively opposes. Every time one of the items on this list is supported and encouraged, that is a time when the Far Right is marginalized.

When you support the items on this list, then you are inflicting wounds upon the Far Right!

2. Give them Hell today!
Give it back full measure and then some. I mean it. Get agressive, get angry, get in the traitors' faces and tell them what you think of their bottom-feeding ways.

Now is the time, friends. Don't be silent any more.

5. Good Day To Call Your Local Hate Radio Station
I'm talking about the local ones...not the Rushbos or Savages...but the ones that are local and easy to talk your way onto.

Let's see how these apologists of the airwaves try to condone treason. Let's see what talking points or misinformation they're throwing out and ram it up their kilowatt asses.

Cheers...

8. Hell yes!
And don't just do that. Give them hell at work. Give them hell on the street, at the dinner table, in the line at the dry cleaners. Let them know you are mad as hell and tell them WHY!

10. One, Two Punch...
It was bad enough they condone the torturing going on at Gitmo and Abu Gahrib. Now it's ok to compromise security by outting CIA agents for political purposes?

The game here is not to get into the gotcha game...the "well Clinton did this" or "she really wasn't an agent"...and any of the other bullshit talking points and lies. Don't be rude, be firm and bring them back to your questions (the ones above could work nicely).

These morons are clueless on this story...and most don't even read a newspaper (I know...worked with many of them) so if they try to squirm with "someone said" you push 'em for the source.

Amazingly, you be surprised how long you'll be kept on as the host is stunned in a "bambi in the headlights" moment on how to react. Then he'll go to a quick commercial.

:rofl:

11. My new comeback
"Don't you DARE!" when they come up with their stupid Clinton shit. THEY are in control, and they damn well better start taking some responsibility for their immense fuckup. And I agree with you: you can blindside the motherfucker local talk hosts pretty easily so SHOW NO MERCY!!!!!!

12. I Call It "Truth Squadding"
Thanks to the marvels of the Internet, I can drop in on lots of small and medium market stations (including those that don't stream directly...that's the ones that really freak out). It's easy to pick which and when to call...and when I say I'm calling from Chicago, I almost always get moved up.

I'm lucky as I had many years of being behind the mike and doing talk radio, so I have a real good picture of what's going on inside that studio...and the voice that will blow the host away just in saying nice things...when I get cranked up, the silence when I finish is worth gold. LOL.

They definitely go back to the Clenis like a pavolvian response and your "Don't you dare" is a great way to shut it down. Mine usually is "so"...Clinton's not president or in public office.

It'd be fun for some of us to swarm down on some of the most moronic hosts...make their worst nightmares come true. LOL.

Cheers...

3. Only 50%???
Here's a clue: If their lips are moving, they are LYING. Count on it.

Take a look at this. Save it to a file. And, just for the heck of it, substitute the word "Iraq" for "Kosovo":

6. Kind of like Dems are against Morality?
Comments like these are just too far fetched. Your statements resemble statements made by right-wing whackos...

7. What?
How are my statements far fetched?

It should be common knowledge that when Interfaith Groups, Feminists, Civil Liberties Groups, etc. are supported then the Far Right is weakened.

If you know any other ways to fight the Far Right then please make some suggestions.

9. You think the right doesn't oppose everything on that list?
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 07:59 AM by DireStrike
Well. You're entitled to your (uninformed) opinion.

The only thing I could see anyone objecting to on that list is the religious stuff, but even that...

13. the religious right loves Judaism (or at least extreme Zionism)
Some evangelicals have gone as far as to become "born again" Jews.

It's very odd.

A good part of it is probably being shaped by our or even Israeli intelligence services.

A good counter-balance would be for reform Jews or any who don't believe in pushing the Palestinians out of the occuppied territories to speak out against settlements, the Sharon policy, and Moshe Dayan's approach to Palestinians which he said was to make life miserable for them, let them leave if they want, and see where that process leads.
