Flood the Zone Fridays, brought to you by Karl Rove

Posted by Ezra Klein

George W. Bush has a new website up, and upon seeing it, you have to admit -- this is a campaign that "gets" the web. Their website consolidates many of the tools that the Democratic challengers and their supporters have been experimenting with, and they are well implemented. Particularly impressive is their Action Center, which has one the the coolest, most useful tools I've ever seen:

If you scroll about halfway down the page, you'll see a field where you can input your zip code -- once you do, you'll be given a large list of newspapers and radio shows in your area, complete with contact information for each of them. It's mighty impressive.

Well, George Bush might have some good tools, but we have the online organization -- and tools mean nothing without good, motivated activists. However, we can do a lot with those tools, and we mean to.

Matt Singer and I originally conceived of this as a project for the DDF, but we quickly realized this wasn't candidate specific -- this is for every lefty in America. So here is what we propose. We want to get a coalition together -- every influential and non-influential lefty site with the ability to direct readers and members over to the Bush action tools. And every Friday, we want to use those tools to write letters and make calls highlighting a different part of the Bush disaster. This Friday will be fiscal irresponsibility day -- where we blanket the media with calls and letters about Bush's absurd fiscal policies. We're even going to get you the info, for instance, behold the Bush Record (if you're not a Dean supporter, just ignore the stuff about Dean).

But this week, we have to pull together the players. That's where you all come in. This needs to move through the blogosphere in much the same way that the "Fair and Balanced" day did. Matt and I can get to a lot of people, but we don't know everybody and we don't have the manpower to do it on our own. So E-mail this around, or simply E-mail your favorite blog-owners and ask them to be part of "Flood the Zone" Fridays, brought to you by Karl Rove and the good folks running the Bush Campaign.

Come Friday, Matt or I will post up some talking points and sample letters, and then watch the fun begin. Lets show Rove who owns the 'net.

P.S - I am so getting audited.

Update: Lies, damn lies and statistics is in. I'm going to try and keep a list, so if you want to be part of this, let me know. Pandagon's in.

Looks like the Deanites are now coming to the realization that Bush has beaten Dean at his own game by putting up a grassroots site far better than their own candidate's.

This is all the more reason to use the Bush Action Center to write letters to the editor, call talk radio, and spread the President's conservative message.

FYI, this entry was written by Ezra Klein, who works for Howard Dean. His co-blogger is Matt Singer of Dean Defense Forces, who likes lobbing nasty astroturf messages to reporters who are less than fawning toward their Supreme Leader.

Ping. We need to work on this web site a little bit when we get a chance.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, it's not like these guys are geniuses or anything...

[eureka!]

Bump...

[PhiKapMom]

Peach -- Thanks for the ping!

Looks like the Deanites are up to no good! Time for Bush supporters to FIGHT BACK! Dean is now ahead in NH and could be their renegade candidate who the press are trying to portray as moderate.

We have a chance for a huge victory in Nov 2004 but we are going to have to work hard to achieve it -- we need to get active now!

Best thing we can do is keep an eye on the opposition and not let them get ahead in the game!

[blackie]

Bump!

Precisely. The recent press I've heard on Dean is that the peaceniks shouldn't misunderstand about him -- that he's not "anti-war," he's only "anti-Iraq war." In truth, I suspect he's like every other leftist -- he's a coward, a girly-man, a seditious narcissist whose interests are self and not the good of America...just like nearly every other Democrat.

You Guys Want Dirt on Howard Dean? Lets fight fire with fire! This is Howards Transcript from Meet the Press. Hold him accountable for every word. HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Get a life, Dems......bttt!!!

Dean organized an impressive array of info-nazis. They are rather transparent. Eventually, noone will be impressed with 35 emails about a current topic that all look nearly identical. it's puerile. I'd expect better intellectual content from a White Zombie lyric.

[jmcclain19]

I have lots of good stuff on Dean

His fund-raising acumen, or lack there of compared to the Presidential Camapaign

His true thoughts on Civil Liberties

His locking up his Government Records as Governor for a decade.

His interview waffling on Larry King

On using token GOP members to feign "Republican Support"

On lying to the AFL-CIO
