Lois Murphy as "Howard Dean Liberal" - This steams me....
Edited on Fri Jun-23-06 08:28 AM by CarolNYC
Lois Murphy is running for Congress in the 6th District of PA, which is my sister's district. My sister really likes Lois...and, in fact, I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Lois' sister at the Eric Massa/Wes Clark fundraiser event this week.

Anyway, my sister sent me this link today...


:grr:

"Howard Dean liberal"! Is that supposed to be some kind of a smear?! I hope it convinces more folks to vote for her....We'd do a lot better with a bunch of "Howard Dean liberals" in Congress than the corrupt bunch running the show now.

edit: Oh, I didn't mean for that big picture to pop up....just the link to it....

1. democrats have ALLOWED repubs to make liberal a dirty word by
running from the word and not defending it. Behavior continues until it is stopped by others or self interest.

the good news about your mailer/example is that it is most likely mailed only to people who are already true believers in the republican
cause.

then again, on this piece if you replace liberal with conservative it would look like lots of things democrats send out about republicans!

2. MoveOn.org did NOT run ads saying Bush was Hitler!
That ad was merely one out of hundreds of ads created by individuals for a contest ran by MoveOn.org. All the ads were available to be watched on their website before the winners were chosen.

Besides which, the label "Howard Dean Liberal" applies to me and I'm damn proud of it.

3. Special Interest Group Cronies?
:crazy:

She is not responsible for other activities of groups that happen to support her.

That MoveOn "Hitler" thing is a complete distortion, and it has nothing to do with Murphy anyway.

Isn't there some recourse against this kind of dishonest nonsense?

6. Irony, much?
"...tell liberal Lois Murphy to stop the negative attacks..."

So that we can keep making our own negative attacks?!

I just love the hypocrisy of politics. /sarcasm

8. Our own Democrats encouraged that by calling him fringe in 03 and 04
Sorry but that is the lay of the land right now.

Our Democrats on the right wanted Iraq and wanted their corporate agenda so badly, they did it to him by sending out memos about how fringe he was.

The GOP picked up on it, they will do it to any of our Democrats.
