Two can play this stupid childish game.....

[Virginia Dare]

so apparently the grand master genius Rove and his toy poodle Gillespie have sent the memo out that all Democratic opponents are to be referred to as "leftists".

There is a way to counter this horseshit, from now on all Republican opponents should be referred to as "fascists".

After all, turn about is fair play!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

1. leftists? How about Left Behindists?

But, honestly, we should not play the game on their terms. IT makes us look silly, late, and worst, lacking in creativity. Which,to be honest, our party leaders have been for quite some time.

I just started looking through Rahm's 8 pt plan. some interesting things in there, but all too often, to timid.

[Virginia Dare]

8. Intellectually I know you're right..

but emotionally, that's a different story. This next election is for all the marbles. Kerry played it way too soft. I'm tired of taking the high road. We need to win this time, and I'm sorry but "wrongists" just doesn't have the same ring to it. It needs to be something that will stick in the voting public's mind.

[TheFriedPiper]

2. I prefer to call them 'wrongists' or 'rapturists' or 'idiots'

[acmejack]

14. Idiots is very apt!

[RaleighNCDUer]

21. How about words everybody can agree on --

criminals.

[magellan]

3. They've been insulting anyone who disagrees with them for 5 years

I don't give a rip anymore. Consider the source and decide that you aren't going to let a bunch of infants distract you from the important issues.

[varkam]

4. I just prefer to call them "wrong".

:hi:

[librechik]

23. wrongists

or the wrong wing

because they so vigorously promote without reason principles we know are failed.

[Atman]

5. Here is the flaw in your plan...the media

Rove issues the blast faxes because he knows a) his jackboots will follow the instructions faithfully and without fail, even when/if it makes them look like scripted automatons. Rove doesn't care what the messenger looks like, he just want the message out there. Which brings me to b) when Rove's jackboots dutifully spout their talking points, the GOP-controlled media will just as dutifully broadcast them, and then rebroadcast them six more times just for emphasis. When we start calling the GOP fascists, we might as well be standing alone in the forrest. We aren't in charge of what message gets broadcast. They are.

[Virginia Dare]

6. Sadly, you are 100% correct....n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Which is why the republiCONS get to spew their horse shit about

how the Democrats don't have a plan for ANYTHING which is CRAP! And they and their whore media knows it is crap! Our plan for gradual troop withdrawal doesn't get out, just like our plan for most everything else doesn't get put out for public consumption. The republiCANTS do NOT want Americans to know which Party really cares about them on every level and has plans to back it up.

[Hugin]

7. As a left handed person I am shocked by Rove's Defamation of 'lefties'.

Where's the outrage?

[Virginia Dare]

9. As a fellow lefty, I am indeed outraged...

:toast:

[Hugin]

10. The Rover crowd seems to be on a straw man hunt at the moment...

Especially in Virginia.

They've *got* to find somebody to hate... Not many groups around they haven't
smeared. So, I'm guessing we're next.

That's okay, I've had many horses shot out from underneath me. But, I keep
on coming KKKarl!

:toast:

[Surya Gayatri]

17. Me too, dammit !

Demand minority rights & respect for the 10% of us Lefties!

No more Mr/Ms Nice Guy! Rise up Lefties!

Take the battle to the Righties! Demand equal time!

Sabotage & subvert!

(Just use left-handed utensils & equipment & force the Righties around you to use them, too--it drives them crazy. We're the more intelligent, flexible & adaptable ones--ambidextrous by necessity).

LEFTIES WILL PREVAIL AND RULE ONE DAY!!!
:headbang:

[Hugin]

22. It's only a matter of time 'till they try to ban 'leftist marriage'.

In fact, I believe I've heard that exact sentiment from the scowling lips
of none other than Ann Coulter.

It is time to rise once again in defense of our Country, Constitution, and
Liberty!

(Hmm, I just now noticed :headbang: is using his left hand... *LEFT* On DU!)

[Surya Gayatri]

24. Yes, time for a Constitutional

Amendment mandating equal treatment for our minority--we're much more subtlely discriminated against than, say, women, the disabled, etc.

I'M MAD AS HELL & I'M NOT GONNA' TAKE IT ANYMORE! :evilgrin:

[GeorgeGist]

12. Oooooooooooo...

lets all play stupid childish games.

[Virginia Dare]

18. Where has taking the high road gotten us?

stupid childish games is what the public responds to.

[lpbk2713]

13. Call them what they are .... criminals.

And we could come up with a long list.

[terminal_concept]

15. i want to play!

I agree they are fascists.I also enjoy the liberal use of the word corporate.Regime also has a nice ring to it.
If you can't win a debate win with propaganda I guess.After all it takes a lot more sound bites to explain the inheritance tax than it does to say death tax.

[terminal_concept]

26. I love this game!

I'm new so I hope you guys don't mind me double posting,because when you think about it it's kind of funny.

Let's make an actual game out of it ,picture this.Propaganda the board game!You collect 7 sound bites so you use your 7 sound bites or sylables to create a slogan ."fascist corporate regime ".You get 10 points a piece .Then you use your points to collect states.

O.K. it's really not that funny.Either we play the game or we strike at the root of the problem which is propaganda itself and the corporate media that spreads it.I just can't believe with all the crap on the news that even dedicated republicons (typo) don't feel exploited.

It gets trickier when definitions get changed.Consider the meaning of the flag or the Bible.
I for one want the old meanings back so let them spread these symbols all they want,one day their definitions will be ours again.Isn't this the job of our politicians to figure these things out and win our elections?

[NicRic]

16. Democrats need to organize to a single message in reply

to this lable .I remember when our last great President Clinton was debating and he brought up how the repuks bring out the liberial word ever election cycle ,he went on to say in referance to him that dog wont hunt! He went on to explain that a good leader listens to all sides of a issuse and then makes a informed decision. Something our current idiot in office knows nothing about ,with Clinton they called his comprimising as showing he changed his views on issuses according to the polls ,when the fact was thathe was a very intelligent person with the ability to change the way he dealt with a issuse after being fully informed. Thats what I like about Pres Clinton and what I hate about gorgie ,one of many things about him that I dislike very very much !

[Surya Gayatri]

20. Agreed, they all need

to get on message and have short but sweet rebuttals ready, every time the

Republiks spew out this crap. SG

[NotGivingUp]

19. perfect! the part of fascists....that's what they are and that's

how they should be referred to.

[treestar]

25. Exactly, yet they will whine about how unfair that is!

How do they do it? Somehow they just frame it so they are right and are the victims yet they can attack and their victims are not victims!

It's amazing.
