We need a comeback to "Boxer Rebellion" NOW!
It's obvious that "Boxer Rebellion" is the new RW talking point, used to cover up widespread election fraud in Ohio among other states. So I'm thinking we need some sort of comeback to offer in return.

"Bushwhacked election"?

I'm sure somebody can come up with something better.

6. That's just what I mean.
How are we going to go about fighting it? What is our catchy phrase that sums up our point of view?

Embrace it. Yeah, we're fighting Boxer's Rebellion and we're not just going to fade away!

12. I see what you're saying.
"Boxer's Rebellion" sounds too much (to me) like one person fighting against the results of the election. The opposition runs deeper than Boxer, and, while she certainly should be commended for attaching her name to this objection, so should our designation for it.

After all, the "rebellion" is against election fraud, right?

WHO isn't against election fraud?

If the Repukes want this to be about them, they're just connecting themselves to the fraud.

That's their mistake. Anything we can do to help them make it, so much the better.

11. The Boxer Rebellion!
I love it.

Let us take a right wing dagger and use it to cut out their heart. Remember when
bush kept saying to Kerry, "Wrong war, wrong place, at the wrong time."?

He should have said Damn right.

We live in a no think sound bite age. Let us it for our advantage.

Boxer Rebellion = Good = Freedom = right to vote

:kick:

13. I like Boxer Rebellion too
And if my memory serves me the Boxer rebellion in China was a response to the colonialism of England and trying to force the Chinese to by opium .
Correct me if I am wrong please.

14. Embrace it
be proud of it. If you don't, the smear machine will turn it into a negative like they did the word liberal. It's ours and they can't have it. Frankly, I rather like it.

15. Wow. I guess I'm more of a pessimist than most.
I just think this is going to be repeated so frequently in the RW media in the next couple of weeks that we don't have much of a chance to take it back at all -- leaving us with a perceived "one woman rebellion".
