How to "COUNTER" the Conservative Spin Machine

Rush Limbaugh is on the radio with his brand of Conservative rhetoric and propaganda that those dumb @*$ “ditto-heads” keep falling for over and over and ….

According to Rush, Obama’s speech was about RACE. That Obama failed to address the reasons why Pastor Wright “hated America”, rather blaming the PAST and White people for the anger. Or how Liberals dismiss GOD and want to form a Socialist Society of sniveling victims that Democrats cater to. He says Liberals fall for “WHITE GUILT“! EVEN that BARACK OBAMA IS A PRODUCT OF RACIAL HEALING… (freak’n Rush)

NOTE: (…hey Rush, you mean Socialist like Bush bailing out Bear Sterns with Corporate WELFARE?)

This same onslaught of Right-wing “poisoning the wells” will last through the November election. As usual the Democratic Party has NO IDEA how to effectively fight against and counter the Conservative spin machine. Using the same old methods of weak excuses and pandering and low key argument.

Ohhhhhh how many times those on the LEFT said I came on too strong or sounded too angry. Even though I spoke the TRUTH they said that I “can’t say THAT!”

Whining and censored speech will NOT SWAY DISGRUNTLED REPUBLICANS and Reagan Democrats. The LEFT must learn how to go back at the Conservatives with the same textbook tactics they use against us. To be as loud, outrageous, bias, sarcastic and DAMAGING as they. SOMEBODY’S gotta DO IT, might as well be ME! I’ve been doing this for a long time and am VERY GOOD AT WHAT I DO…

I have learned these techniques and have used them effectively against the Conservative adversaries. A student of text such as the extraordinary “Opposing Viewpoints Series” put out by Greenhaven Press. Publisher David L. Bender providing gems:
“…it can be said that those who do not completely understand their adversary’s point of view… do not fully understand their own“.

I know how Conservatives ORGANIZED and their long range strategic planning. I own the obscure, hard to find 1984 book “Ominous Politics, The New Conservative Labyrinth” by John S. Saloma III. The BEST document on the subject and a warning to Liberals to counter Conservative planning.

Of course the “poorly organized” LEFT-wing of the 80’s was still living off it’s 60’s victories and failed to heed Saloma’s warnings… ohhhh and that the WORD never got spread because Saloma DIED (mysteriously) not long after finishing his manuscript in 1983.

NOTE: Here’s how someone NOT associated with Obama or his campaign should counter the likes of Limbaugh, Hannidy, O’Reily, Coulter, Cunningham, etc, etc, etc…

OBSERVATION: I don’t blame Reverend Wright for being ANGRY… Anyone who ISN’T outraged by the present state of our government and economy are the ONE’S WHO SCARE ME!

Obama religion argument

Here’s the thing… Conservative criticism of Obama and his former Pastor Wright is a product of their severe ideological/moral superiority complexes and religious delusions. Even though they're seeing the disastrous results and failed economics of the George W. Bush Presidency they STILL refuse to admit HUGE mistakes have been made. (that's an understatement)

You’d rather defend your own guilty vanity than do what’s GOOD for the United States of America. Instead of admitting the Republican Party is plagued with vain, greed stricken, self serving, power mad, corrupt, silver spoon, special interest Lobby whores and giving Obama a chance… no, NO! You want to shill for "MORE OF THE SAME WITH JOHN McCAIN".
