Fight Fire With Fire
Vanity | 9/3/08 | Lee Roggenburg

Posted on 09/03/2008 7:24:32 AM PDT by LRoggy

After seeing the perverted coverage of Sarah Palin, it is time to give the media and their left wing bloggers a taste of their own medicine. We need to establish and fund a web site that compiles information about the personal lives of the major media and the left wing bloggers in a consolidated place.

It should be modeled on YouTube so that anyone can submit a video of past predictions, compromising pictures and other embarrassing items in their past. We all remember how Larry Flynt offered to pay a $1,000,000 bonuty for Republican dirt. We don't need to go that far, just provide a forum for them.

The Web Site could be called MediaHypocrites.Com (if this is not already used). Since the media controls much of it's own destiny (except the ad revenue flow), the best way to get back at them is through humiliation. Make them look like the Emperor Without Clothes to the average American.

And the beauty of this is that they also fall under the 'Public Figure' category, making them less able to sue for defamation.

If any Freepers have knowledge of how to do this and have prepared business plans for news websites in the past, please feel free to post and get in touch!

You will, however, forfeit the moral high ground

Talk to Robert Bork about the value of Moral High Ground.

The media is doing a fine job of destroying the democrats and themselves and don’t need any help from us.

Agreed. The MSM can't seem to realize that the floodlights they're turning up shine more on their own kind. Reasonable and moral people will see truth, and be offended by the MSM's actions. (And unreasonable, immoral people will likely remain so and beyond hope of change.)

I used to believe that. I used to think, along with Rush, that most Americans were sensible. But look at the polls. I think we make a mistake when we sit on our hands and expect the truth to just dawn on people like manna dropping from the heavens.

This is why, IMO, fire should meet fire.

Let them reap what they sow.

Let them be measured by the same standard they measure others.

Let their ‘private’ life be held up for scrutiny.

All it would take would be a few then the others would understand and get back on to the real issues.

I'm just saying the MSM does not respect or value "moral high ground". We do.

But if there was a site like newsbusters on steroids to return fire at this scum I would support it and help reload.

“He will completely disavow it and run against it for the low-life tactic that it is.”

You know, turning the other cheek is a noble thing, or so I’ve heard... However you don’t win wars (or elections) that way.

The original post didn’t suggest making up lies as the Daily Kos does, just fighting fire with fire.

As long as it's truthful, why not? All you'd have to do is have a searchable database of media types. List their home(s), wife or husband's name and occupation, kids' names, political donations (that's public info anyway), party affiliation, organizational memberships, etc.

“Do this with the idea of showing how liberal and in the tank for Democrats they are. Each pundit is a registered Dem, comes from Dem backgrounds, works and contributes to Dems etc.”

As a matter of fact, Obama has posted on KOS. That kind of makes him part of them.

I agree. We need something like this on our side that will take no prisoners. Newsbusters does a good job exposing the double stadards of the media and their presentation. But we don’t have any thing on our side that will expose the conflicts the actual media people have that they should be called on to explain like they are constantly doing to conservatives and the GOP. For one, how many members of the MSM are married or have relatives that work with the Democrat pary or their allied organizations? That would be a start.

Bull. You don’t win elections by digging up and lining up behind slimy Chicago faggots. That’s not politics, that’s tabloid crap. Those that complain the loudest about the Republicans not hitting back on the issues are the ones pushing this kind of garbage.
