It’s not that the Left can’t take a joke. It’s that they’re always a step ahead of the Republicans. They create false issues with media support, pounce viciously on any questionable statements, and always force the Pubbies to tread water and, uh, er, eh, try to explain themselves. No offense on our side.
You’re right but it’s maddening to me. It seems the best defenders of Republican ideals and issues are ex-Democrats who can play the games of personal destruction and use Democrat tactics back against them.
With the exception of a few, Alan West or Marco Rubio as examples, Republicans keep bringing knives to gun fights.
It doesn't matter what the actual issue is, that is the MO.
We should be discussing what WE can do about it.
For example, check out this thread Attack by Limbaugh Awakens a ‘Stop Rush’ Campaign.
The story goes on about a person who started a Twitter campaign called StopRush, which FReeper research (not the driveby media) discovered was owned by one Angelo Carusone, who via said mentioned Freeper Research, turns out to be a ‘Campaign Director’ for Media Matters!!!
Now here's my point:
Where is OUR campaign on Twitter?????
The FACT that Fluke is ACTUALLY a Left Wing Feminist Activist is not told by the driveby media. The FACT that the owner of the Twitter account is actually a Campaign Director of Media Matters is NOT told by the media. She is described as a "student", the StopRush guy is only that, and nothing more.
I'm SICK of it. We rag on how the Republicans DON'T fight back, but we--meaning you reading this--don't EITHER.
Are you on Twitter????
If so, reply to mediadecodernyt on Twitter (it is Brian Stelter, NYT reporter/blogger), who wrote the StopRush story above. Ask him why he calls Fluke a "student", without telling us she is also a femenist activist? Isn't THAT relevent to the story (answer, damn straight it is!)? Why keep that part out of the story UNLESS you are biased (answer - you ARE!)?
They create a Twitter account called StopRush and start hammering Limbaugh's sponsors? Where is OUR Twitter account to support Rush?
We don't DO social media like the dems, and we really, really NEED to start or WE WILL LOSE THIS ELECTION!!!
Complaining on Free Republic to FReepers ISN'T ENOUGH!!!
WE seriously need to start fighting back!
Reply to me. Tell me what you think of this. Who wants to join me on Twitter and elsewhere?
Enough, let's get off our backsides and DO SOMETHING!!!
