It's obvious that there's RW talking points. But who writes them?
Has anyone been able to track the genesis of a given day's or week's GOP talking points? Who actually writes them? Who distributes them? Karl Rove? Ed Gillespie? Scooter Libby? Who?

Considering how every RW radio host, from megastars like Rush to smalltown hate radio personalities, gets their hands on these themes and synchronizes their agendas so well, there must be a paper trail (or perhaps, an email trail).

1. The RNC
If it doesn't write them up it will certainly help coordinate them and send them out in the form of a "press release".

4. They're easy enough to make up
Just think in black and white, blend in a bit of racism and homophobia and there ya go.

Send it out as spam and phone it in to Rush. Mission accomplished.
