What's w/CNN: The top story every hour is the acorn story - it's the Repubs new tactic.
Edited on Tue Oct-14-08 03:41 PM by kerry-is-my-prez
Despite the fact there's massive amounts of voter purging and voter supression going on. The Obama campagin needs to call attention to all of the voter supression going on.

The #2 story on Woofie Blitzed was also something negative for the Dems.

1. CNN is just another right wing owned media outlet
they are going to do everything they can to keep the repukes in power, including becoming FAUX news junior.

9. That's the same CNN that's reporting on Palin and the AIP?
Let's criticize poor reporting where it happens, but not jump to the broad brush assumption that its all part of a pro-GOP conspiracy.

2. Everyone is repeating the lies
about ACORN since that's all they hear. ACORN has a successful history but now, 21 days from the election...the GOP Plan is to "Ring the bell with a Lie" since it can't be disputed as a lie in a timely fashion before the election.

3. It's amazing that Republicans get away with taking people's right to vote away.
It's under the guise of "voter fraud." Meanwhile we have the 2000 stolen election. What a joke!

Hey, this is one thing Obama could stand face-to-face with McCain on and tell him how unAmerican it is.

6. Amazingly..

Yahoo quoted a bunch of Palin quotes from Limbaugh show today. When has the media EVER used quotes given on a Liberal talk show other than to expose us as a bunch of wild-eyed crazies?

Palininini is a complete, a total damn fraud. Taking interviews with Hannity and Limbaugh, but not the press. She's worthless.

7. They are setting it up
so that if Obama wins but the election is close, McCain will have a ready excuse to challenge the results in court.

8. Corpmedia Oatmeal Attack
Just keep tossing oatmeal at the target hoping some of it will stick.

This is how they work. Start with smear A. 24/7 Dean Scream Mode on A. After the appropriate amount of time, move on to smear B. Dean Scream Mode on B. After an appropriate amount of time, move on to smear C. Repeat process until election day.

Ignore all evidence pointing out how bogus each smear is, as the evidence of bogosity mounts, portray the objections as equivalent to the smears, and use this as a trigger for moving to the next smear.

The goal in this kind of end stage campaign is to drown out any discussion of real issues. It is effective, or at least has been in the past, but circumstances and perhaps a growing collective awareness of the game being played are diluting the effect this year.
