Well, the long knives are being unsheathed.
All the Sunday morning liberal news media pundits appeared to have gotten the memo and they were all reading from the published Obama/Democrat script. It’s surprising that they don’t bother to change a word or two here and there to give the spin a less robotic quality, but maybe they’re just not clever enough.
Mitt Romney and his newly-selected VP, Paul Ryan, both of whom have been characterized as true boy scouts, are deeply religious family men (this is now considered a black mark against one’s name), and, until recently, would have been considered “hard targets” for the sleazy, Chicago thug-style political charges and allegations that one would expect from David Axelrod, Hilary Rosen, Harry Reid, Stephanie Cutter and other such slime merchants. One might think that miscreants such as these would take a step back from their usual unprincipled and unscrupulous tactics.
But, these are desperate times, folks. We’d better assume that the gloves are now officially off, and what has been considered sleazy and contemptible up until now will be regarded as “the high road” and will be avoided by the left, in deference to the latest bottom-feeder attack methods.
Now, suggesting that a straight-arrow, pillar of the community such as Mitt Romney is a felon, a tax cheat and a murderer without a shred of evidence is merely liberally-acceptable politics-as-usual.
Should we fight fire with fire and suggest that Barack Obama is a felon, a tax cheat and a murderer?
Probably not advisable.
Then we would be considered the bad guys because we have lowered ourselves to their level. We’d be the bad guys because we’re supposed to be above that sort of thing. I guarantee that would be the charge that the lame stream media would level at our side.
I think a more effective strategy would be something like this: When someone like Hilary Rosen makes a charge such as “Ann Romney never worked a day in her life” she should be met with such a blistering barrage of fact-based and humiliating repudiation for a couple of weeks that she would not dare show her face for the next two or three election cycles. Not only would her charge be shown to be untrue and stupid but an Obama/Axelrod-style hit squad would be turned loose on her to dredge up any and all foul deeds from her past life.
If a lie is put forth by one of the President’s subordinates (that includes David Axelrod or anyone at his level) and the lie can be easily disproved by a rudimentary fact check, it must be met with ferocity such that the liar in question is humiliated for making such a ludicrous and obviously mean-spirited attempt to destroy the character of his or her target. This humiliation should be intense and relentless to the point that the offender will feel moved to consider another line of work. A level of embarrassment should be inflicted on said perpetrator such that any statement or opinion put forth by him or her in the future is met with across-the-board scorn and incredulity.
Make no mistake. This is the most important election in most of our lifetimes. It’s the most important election in my lifetime and I go back to FDR!!
If our side uses the gentlemanly “We mustn’t use the president's middle name”; “You shouldn’t make fun of the president's ears”; “Never attack the president’s association with his radical friends” style of campaigning, that was SO MONUMENTALLY SUCCESSFUL IN 2008, we will have our a$$es handed to us again and we’ll have nobody to blame but ourselves.
We’ll never hear Obama speak out against any of this violence, because its part and parcel of the left, and he promotes it.
If the dims don’t like it, it has to be a great choice!
All you have to ask is, Ryan or Biden?
Provoking them into ever more horrific meltdowns is clearly part of the Romney strategy.
Obama wins in a landslide if Myth Romney is the GOP Nominee. We at Free Republic live in a political cocoon. While at the doctor’s office right now I’m watching an Obama ad on CNN attacking Romney. It is devastating. Obama will destroy Romney even before the first debate, without making a fool out of Romney over Romney-Obama care. Disagree Mitt-Bott? Bring it on ...
Obama’s play book — Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” — calls for Team Obama to attack Paul Ryan’s at his strongest point: his squeaky-clean image.
Hmmm.... So how will TeamObama do that?
I say stand by for a well-paid floozie to emerge from nowhere — who will claim that SHE is the “real reason” Ryan doesn’t “go home” on weeknights.
And then the puppet-media will trumpet the strumpet...
I think we all remember how the floozie attack strategy “worked” when Herman Cain was Team Obama’s target...
Oh ye of little faith. Lay down and die and get it over with. The rest of us will take care of this.
Your courage is admirable ... Deep denial is refusing to accept that the GOP Elite RINOs want to send American Conservatives into battle riding horses donated by the WW2 Polish Calvary aginst Stuka Dive Bombers and Tiger Tanks ..

Too bad for Obozo that no one watches CNN except his own brain-dead supporters.
Good point about CNN, but the Obama ad is running every where ... and is not a CNN creation ... Romney has already been definef by Obama as a Rich one-percenter. Romney is as screwed as the poor chaps at Gallopopii ... except that Myth deserves every ass kicking that Obama hands him.

... proving beyond a doubt that Mitt made a wise choice.
And Romney is running ads right back on lots of other stations. The VP choice is a game changer and this race is still very dynamic.
BTW I went to Bastogne, visited Patton’s grave in Luxembourg, and have read and studied lots about him. Your defeatism does him shame.
You know it is a good choice if the Dems have a negative reaction.
Let the f’ing democrats just spin themselves right into the ground!...Blah! Blah! Blah!...They are very desperate and in full panic mode. They look very stupid and will make it a lot worse for themselves. Can’t wait for Stumbling bumbling Joe Biden to debate Ryan...Wo! Hoo!
Perhaps Mitt and Co. should steal a page from Obozo’s playbook:
