Repugs weekly meeting to lay out upcoming week's talking points
Advertisements [?]
A couple of weeks ago on AAR someone was talking about the weekly meetings that are conducted by Repugs in Washington to lay out the talking points, specific wording and jargon to be used by all pundits in the media. That is why every thing sounds so similar - they are literally getting their marching orders from Rove and the White House.

I cannot remember who made this statement and I have searched through AAR's archives to see if I can find the exact quote with no luck. Evidently I don't remember enough of the quote (or the speaker) to effectively find the discussion (or I hallucinatling the whole damn thing). The speaker went on to add that the meetings originally started with about a dozen people but has grown (either through actual attendance or by fax, email and teleconferencing) to include almost 200 people including several people in the MSM.

Somebody help me out here - does anyone know anything about this? Isn't this something we need to bring up and call them on. Doesn't this smack of additional propagandizing through the media - whether they are paid or not? I am not surprised that the pundits get together and outline their plan of attack but I do get really a cold chill at the back of my neck that the media is in on it, too. This is go Nazi like.
