I'm sure everyone here who has paid the slightest bit of attention to the way Democrat politics operate knows the routine: Democrat talking points are poll-derived, and focus group-tested, the faxes and emails are sent, as are the flying monkeys, and suddenly the talking points start emanating from Democrat politicians, network "news" readers, newspapers, magazines, etc. all at once and repeatedly until they are embedded in the American consciousness. This thread is meant to document the talking points and their sources so as to better understand the liberal strategy. Just post the talking points you hear and their sources for comparison. If there is enough interest. I will continue this thread on a weekly basis.
I don't have a link to it, but I well recall that during the election debacle there was a story circulating on this site how the DNC faxed or emailed their talking points to all the reporters, and how the reporters dutifully repeated them the next day.
I did a little, inconclusive research about it some time ago, and here 'tis, FWIW:

I think that would be a very good idea. I mentioned this subject in an email to Rush after the election, with the idea that maybe his staff had better resources to research & document this, but not surprisingly never heard back from him.
It would be a good subject for citizen-reporters to cover.
