NEW STRATEGY IN SINCLAIRGATE

[ciaobox]

I do think it is important to try and stop Sinclair but there are only so many hours in the day and we need to stay focused on the CAMPAIGN.

So let's take this positive news of the truth from Nightline tonight and focus on discrediting the damn infomercial before it airs. We already know they are willing to bankrupt their company in order to air it so the best we can do is totally debunk it before it is even shown.

Pass this story to every single news outlet you can. We should also distribute to all our personal email lists. Blast it everywhere.

Then, let's get back to phone banking. We can't get distracted.

1. Sounds good to me

I'll be "blasting away" first thing in the morning.

2. How about an expose on Sinclair itself?

with ties to the Bush campaign. Expose them for the smear freak
tactics?

On the other hand, I think pounding home the truth of Bush & Co.
is probably good too.

3. freepers are already trying to spin it around the internet

Freepers are so damn paranoid, but just criticism might make wavering people fall for it.

4. Yes we should

There was also a post earlier tying Fred Smith, VP of Sinclair, to racial discrimination in Maryland. Proven. Is it worth trying to discredit the entire company by doing mass emails on that story too? And I hate that I'm politicizing racism, it's wrong, shallow, selfish, and all the rest; but would it help?

5. Great post! I'd missed it before....

Other actions to take (includes your suggestion too!)

Go to the DailyKos Sinclair page. Target and monitor advertisers listed there. Scroll to "advertiser responses" for good news.
DailyKos Sinclair page

Bump this DU topic
which will be seen by Sinclair sales people. Let them know what you've done and how you feel.

Email media to highlight last nights exposure of John O'Niel as a egomanical liar
Tell them it's a huge story because
1. New independent witnesses back up the after-action report that there were "superior numbers" and heavy fire.
2. New independent witnesses indicate the man killed was indeed a grown man in VC attire, not a "boy in a loincloth"
3. Someone visited the Vietnam village 6 months ago asking questions and saying Kerry didn't deserve his medals.
4. John O'Niel avoided questions and seemed uncomfortable and insincere.

Ask them why the Nightline special isn't bigger news considering how much attention has been given to O'Niel and the SBVT.

6. I think we should Paint the Sinclair group as people who hate soldiers who

Hate Soldiers who die for thier country! As they refused to give them a brief moment in the spotlight after their ultimate sacrifice for their country so sleaze ball outfits like Sinclair can spread thier lies for political advantage!
