In the 24-7 media age, the Republicans know how to play the game. They come up with crazy ideas like death panels, indoctrination, killing grandma and the media runs with it because it is hot. It sizzles. Sure they are all lies and hyperboles, but it makes for good tv. And what is the Democratics response? They ignore it and take the high road. They use logic and facts and assume citizens will see through the blatan lie hurled by the GOP.
It's this kind of thinking that might have cost us the public option even though 65% of Americans are in support of it. It's this kind of thinking that allows the tea baggers to spread their hate and lies on national TV and then complain about how the MSM isn't covering them. IT'S TIME PROGRESSIVES,LIBERALS,DEMOCRATS TAKE A STAND.
When the GOP shouts outrageous lies, we need to shout back at them. The way the 24-7 media is set up along with youtube has made this process a way to sway public opinion. Rep Grayson did it perfectly with the GOP health care plan is to not get sick and if you do lie.
It is time that we let the media now that the Republicans hate America. We have video proof with them clapping when America didn't get the Olypics. Now we need to spread our message. We need to spread it now and during the 2010 midterm elections. Imagine being a Republican and having the Democratic candidate run an ad with Conservatives clapping that America lost. Let's see some homemade 30 second ads using the Republicans clapping with the backdrop that Republicans don't care about America and what is good for America. The Republicans have given us a golden opportunity to show middle America who the GOP really is: A party that doesn't care about America. Let's get the word out through word of mouth and through digital form that Conservatives don't care about America. They used this attack on Democrats without any proof. Too bad for them we have video of them attacking America. Let's see those homemade ad videos folks!
