3. I've seen dems on CNN, MSNBC, heard some on Stephanie MIller this AM ...

Of course this week they were passing financial reform and an extension of unemployment benefits.

Slackers.

4. I'm not saying they're slackers. I understand that important

legislation has been passed. I also understand that most people will watch the news, ignore the legislation and focus on stories like the Sherrod story. I want democrats on those news shows exposing the right wing for the destructive force it is.

5. Who says the media wants Dems on?

6. Please, all it would take is a phone call and they would

be on.

8. Again ... I saw Dems on TV today ... CNN, MSNBC ... heard them on the radio

After all the knee jerk mistakes in the last few days, Dems would be smart to measure their statements ... not go insane immediately, and then slowly turn up the heat on this.

Breitbart claims his job is to defend the Tea Party. Michelle Bachmann just kicked off the tea Party causus.

Dems would be smart to take a few days ... and then the next time Michelle opens her trap, point out she is defending Breitbart and his racism.
