Deep Rove

With the recent scandal involving the White House and Karl Rove, I am reminded of how important it is for consistent, effective communiction when discussing political issues. The talking heads defending Rove and the Bush administration are spouting the same exact hypocritical rhetoric day after day on cable news and radio. This link may help in revealing some of their desperate tactics:

With strategies such as distraction issues, delaying tactics, coordinated talking points that right-wing hacks strictly adhere to, and cable news networks that gladly parade them in front of their cameras, the struggle to get most Americans to pay attention and strongly react to this significant issue will quickly become unwinnable. However, if we as LCYD's can mount a coordinated, concise, fact-based information campaign, we may be able to make an impact, however localized, on public opinion involving this case. Letters to the editor, press releases, or simple public debating are some examples of ways to affect the public's perception of this issue. I'm not necessarily trying to frame this as an LCYD or Democratic Party issue, but I'm mainly trying to develop a way for us as individuals to present the facts in an manner that effectively gets to the heart of this issue...that the Bush administration is hypocritical, untrustworthy, and dangerously secretive, and should be held accountable for this disgrace.

I have some ideas on how we can do this, so I'd like to discuss them this Friday at DL. If you wish to post a comment to this, feel free, but since this deals with strategy, I'd prefer to discuss it in person. If you don't know what DL is, just ask.

One of the main things to remember when discussing this with "Rove defenders" is that they are on the defensive with multiple excuses. For example, they're trying to argue what the definition of the word "name" is. Sound strangely familiar? If you recall, they used one like that (quite appropriately) with one of our guys. It's time to give them a dose of their own medicine.
