Al Gore is connected to that far-left group, Move-on.org...?
Is that right? That would be where the Repubs would attack Gore if he were to run, which he has no intentions of doing, as far as we know. But it he were to run, why would he announce this early? Everybody knows him so he doesn't have a problem with name recognition. I wish he would run. It seems to me that he is the only one with the record and the message to win at this time. After all, he won once already.

1. Media Horseshit - MoveOn was put in place to protect Clinton from the RW
and no one on the far left gave a rat's ass about protecting Clinton.

The far left voted against Gore for the most part.

But, to the media, ALL left organizations are far left and ALL Democrats are far left, because the GOP told them so.

6. The republican strategy is...
to constantly turn things into "bad words". They've done it with the term "Liberals", and now they're doing it with "Move-on.org" and "Michael Moore". It's very simple - they keep repeating this crap to the American public, telling everybody that these things are far left, and exteme, and eventually it sinks into the sheeple. Then in the future, when anything comes along that they don't like, the immediately equate it with one of the bad terms, and that gets the sheeple all freaked out about it.

Unfortunately, it works with most of the American public, because they're morons.

7. "Cindy Sheehan": the next set of bad words.
Yeah, a grieving mother who lost her son in Presidope Fucknut's Oil Crony War, one of the most plain-Jane, soft spoken harmless individuals America has ever seen . . . turned into a "far left, commie moonbat lunatic". THaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's logical.

Meanwhile, there's not a DAMNED thing wrong with Dann Coulter calling Helen Thomas an "old Arab" on TV. NO, there's NOTHING batshit wacko about that. And to emphasize it, she still has a JOB. There's NOTHING wrong with how the right wing recruits followers using fear and hatred, overlooks facts, worships leaders who employ laissez-faire corporatism and torture and murder and uses the media as their own personal propaganda machine.

9. Who is best at "firing up" Democrats, Al Gore or Bill Clinton?
And why? In my opinion, it is Al Gore. But he speaks more to the base while Clinton speaks more to the "middle". Which is more important for the Democratic Party? At this time, I would say the base is more important. As we see today, many are very disappointed in the Alito hearings. These are the fights that are left to the base of the Party.

10. Hey, they accused Murtha of being connected to MoveOn and Michael Moore
Edited on Thu Jan-12-06 04:46 PM by AtomicKitten
It's a battle cry. It's rhetoric. It's just plain bullshit.

And they will shovel crappola on ANY Democrat that steps forward to assume the mantle of Democratic nominee for president in 2008. You can bet on it.

There is no such person that would escape their cheese.
