If the Dems want to win, this is all they need to do...
Take Palin's comments about God sending us to Iraq. Find something similar that crazies like Bin Laden have said (I don't have anything specific but he uses God in all his writings very similar to her comments), then make a commercial with a split screen, their faces on each side, a red eerie background, throw in some emotional music and screens from the crusades and other stuff that the creative types can think of (like the number of dead US children that it will take to fight these type of religious battles). That should do it.

1. Fantastic idea
Only problem is they won't do it. It is past time to stop being so nice and give them back what they dish out.

6. Didn't say the actual campaign had to do it...
Just somebody.

2. I'd suggest that you send this idea to the Obama campaign...
at mybarackobama.com. I just wrote them last night and it's very easy to do.

3. There is no "that should do it" when it comes to those people.
Unless something horrific surfaces -- REALLY horrific or blatantly illegal (like what's happening to Ted Stevens), it won't affect those who are supporting that ticket.

5. At times I get a bit nervous thinking about how Hitler made it into power in Germany.
McSame...and especially the barracuda would take this country to the same place that Hitler took Germany.

Just check out what the Dominionists have as goals for this country.

19. We're already on our way -- have you read
Naomi Wolf's book?

And we are totally oblivious.

18. Agree -- and my question is, where do we find them? HOW do we reach
them?

The Gallup site said the Independents had moved into the McCain camp -- so I'm wondering, what made that happen? Only thing that's changed, really, is Palin and the extensive media buzz about her.

After it dies down, I anticipate a swing back, but again, WHERE and HOW do we get our message to them? :shrug;

4. These Dominionists really are like an American version of the Taliban.
Their ideas and ideals are identical..except one quotes the Bible and the other quotes the Koran.
Neither one of them represent the true spirit of the religion they rant on about.

7. I like it.
I don't have the expertise to put it together myself, but I think it's a good idea. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

9. YouTube it
There are very creative Dems on the planet. Somebody can YouTube it. Just remember, if it's too nasty, it will backfire.

10. I was thinkin' Big Dawg could take one for the team ...
... and get caught in a compromising position with Sarah Barracuda, photos and all.

The thought is repulsive but the GOP'ers would go batshit insane if she was bangin' 'THAT LIBERAL'!!

11. The Whisper Campaign Is Already Underway
There's a lot of buzz with Jewish friends of mine about her support of Jews For Jesus...emails have been flying all over about this and her preacher who damns Jews to hell if they don't convert. The fundies had played to many pro-Israeli Jews, but this pulls the sheet off the real motives underneath.

And if you think this is just pertaining to Jews, be assured that there are similar views as to whose a "proper christian"...Mormons and Catholics need not apply.

No need to tie it to Osama bin Laden...that diverts from how her beliefs are radical on their own...just put the videos and words of her church out there will hang her.

13. Not just in the Jewish community either
Whispers are going around everywhere. It came up twice in conversation with friends the past 2 days. Faith healing-Benny Hinn style, speaking in tongues, scares the shit out of the tamer Christian sects.

I didn't start the Palin discussion, but, I did bring up her religion. Faith healing and speaking in tongues always raises the eyebrows. Especially if you bring up the "You are healed!" line. They immediately picture the TV preachers and the side show revivals and can't help but, associate them with scam-artists. It's a beautiful thing watching that sink in.

12. Some quotes by Hiter on God. Good stuff
"It must be thoroughly understood that the lost land will never be won back by solemn appeals to the God, nor by hopes in any League of Nations, but only by the force of arms."
- Adolf Hitler

"We are all proud that through God's powerful aid, we have become once more true Germans"
- Adolf Hitler

It must be thoroughly understood that the lost land will never be won back by solemn appeals to the God, nor by hopes in any League of Nations, but only by the force of arms.
- Adolf Hitler

Always before God and the world, the stronger has the right to carry through what he wills"
- Adolf Hitler

"The world will not help, the people must help themselves. Its own strength is the source of life. That strength the Almighty has given us to use; that in it and through it, we may wage the battle of our life The others in the past years have not had the blessing of the Almighty - of Him who in the last resort, whatever man may do, holds in His hands the final decision. Lord God, let us never hesitate or play the coward"
- Adolf Hitler


"Who says I am not under the special protection of God?"
- Adolph Hitler Quotes

14. It's called The Daily Show
I like it. Every time I think of something like that, I see it on the tv the next day. They're great that way.

But it would be funny to see Obama's campaign do that.

15. Here's the best!
"In the name of God most merciful, a message to all brothers in Iraq. Peace be on you. All you believers fear God as he should be feared and say we will die as Muslims."

Osama bin Laden.

16. Throw in Katrina for good measure!
God was punishing those ungodly, unsaved, mainly Catholic residents of NOLA.
