MARCHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEMOCRATS

[conservativecorner]

By now I'm sure you've heard of www.democraticunderground.com ... a website where your Democrat neighbors can go to trade ideas and thoughts about this year's election. One of our alert listeners lifted a few postings on this website that I thought you might enjoy. Here, my friends, are your loving, compassionate Democratic neighbors at work. Why don't we all sit back and let them chose our next president ... waddaya say? Here's the first post:

As we've heard again and again recently, if we are going to beat this bunch of rule breaking GOP misanthropes, we're going to have to start fighting as dirty as they do. I started this thread for one reason, to get everyone's ideas on a list of things we as Democrats can consider to stop the takeover of this country. This isn't going to be a thread for the squeamish, or for the ideologically pure. Best to steer clear if that describes you.

Here are half a dozen ideas to get the ball rolling.

1) Get Republicans fired at your workplace, or fire them yourself if you can – In the belief that all activism starts with the grass roots, do us all a favor, and fire your Republican employees this week. There are legitimate reasons to fire virtually any employee, so avail yourself of them. Not only will it quit the gloating you're hearing around the office, it'll stop those donation checks they are getting ready to write. Might also teach them a bit of humility regarding the poor and the disadvantaged. They can be the "Pioneers" of "Unemployment Window A"

2) Pretend to be a Republican, and then cut down the next Republican that you have a conversation with. - The more public/crowed the place you do this, the better. Use whatever remarks you know are sure to make the intended impression. "You're no better than the liberal scum you claim to hate... get back into the kitchen... Just wait till we win next year and toss peons like you into the field or the workhouse... People in your income bracket don't have the right to be Republican or vote etc." If you need talking points, just observe in a Yahoo political chat room for a few minutes and you have all the right wing bile that you can use and quite possibly all that you can stand.

3) Create, plant and disseminate widely "news stories" that discredit GOP policies – A good way to do this is to print out stories in the visual style of a major newspaper or magazine (don't use the logo or other copywrited material, however) and theme them similarly to the ones that targeted John McCain's platform last presidential election. Make sure not to slander individuals directly. Leave stacks of the printouts where people are certain to find them – i.e. supermarkets, coffee houses, bars, community centers etc. As in #2 make sure to write these from the right wing perspective, for maximum effect on the target audience. Avoid digital media, as it's too easy to fact check, not that most GOP voters care to check these things anyway.

4) Contact the IRS and anonymously tip them off regarding prominent GOP contributors in your area. – Lets face it, they are likely tax evaders in any case (that's why they are GOP), so might as well have them go thru an audit and feel a bit of what it's like to have a hostile government prying into their affairs. The tax money you shake free will be a little payback to your community for the egregious tax cut they undoubtedly are enjoying.

5) Make sure that you're the only ride on voting day for a group of hard right types who live out of the way, and then don't show up. – This works best in low population density areas and poor right wing communities. Cultivate a group of right wing friends and make sure they depend on you for the ride on Election Day. Then don't show up. Every vote they miss is an uncontested vote on the blue side of the aisle. The right needs a taste of Florida 2000.

6) Impersonate Linda Tripp. – Whisper into the ear of GOP associates to encourage and get dirty laundry regarding their improprieties, and then make sure that information gets into the wrong hands. It's hard to brag about family values or think about politics when you're in a divorce court.

Are you really serious about winning the culture war? Do you mean it when you say it's time to fight fire with fire? Then channel that anger and let's hear some ideas. Given the thin skin of most conservative ideologues, it won't take much to have them running far away from such policies and tactics so we can all enjoy proper, principled political discourse in the country again. First, however, they need to be taught that fighting dirty burns them as much as it burns anyone.

BTW- if you want to take action beyond the intellectual consideration of these ideas, please do so on your own. This thread is meant for the mental exercise of these ideas. Don't involve DU.

And a response from another loyal Democrat:

tedoll78: I used to be an "I-won't-do-that" person, but now I want to win and prevent the major harm that the GOP would do. In the end, having more liberal leaders in power will save the country and world from more heartache/chaos/destruction/etc; the change for the positive worldwide will more than pay-back for these tactics.

Like someone above said, let's break some eggs.

My starting proposals:

1) Hand-out faulty polling locations & directions in GOP-heavy voting districs. Let's see how they like it for a change.

2) Go door to door as a GOP volunteer with absentee ballots; the GOP loves to vote absentee, right? And then throw the filled-out ballots away. Either that, or give them a faulty ballot with a bad address on the envelope, and then they won't vote on election day since they'd think they've already voted.

3) Volunteer for a GOP phone bank operation and talk dirty to old people on the phone. Think of the most obscene, anus-licking things you can comprehend, and go for it! And be sure to identify yourself as a Bush supporter.

4) Wear an 'I love george w bush' t-shirt in public and act like a major ass. Moon people, fart loudly, call people offensive names. Here's a favorite: Go to football games where the Army is playing and accuse the other team's fans of being unpatriotic for rooting against the Army. In other words, be absurd!

5) When a polling organization calls, give answers such that they reflect very very very poorly on the nation's condition. Tell them you're unemployed, or tell them that you make <$8000 a year.

6) Panhandle in GOP/swing neighborhoods where it isn't illegal. Get as many people as you can to join you; create the image of crisis. Hold-up a sign saying that you were downsized, or that your job was sent overseas. If you're a veteran, emphasize your loss of benefits.

7) Drop-off a stack of fliers at veterans' halls, hospitals, etc detailing the betrayal of the Bush administration. And, if possible, ask them if they're enjoying their tax cuts.

I just thought of these seven off the top of my head. Surely we can come-up with some creative strategies for making the GOP's image as irrespectable as possible!

There you have it, my friends. But remember ... it's the Republicans who are evil ... right?

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Well, this just continues to prove that leftists have NO moral compass. And that's putting it mildly.

[rhombus]

Next they'll be tossing bombs because we eat Democratic babies.

[Kewlhand`tek]

#1 would be determental to any company, most conservaties and republicans are the ones doing the work, the democrats usually have a series of syndrones that prohibit full employement. You they are alergic to all the chemicals in the work place, the dust, the work ect.plus they are late or dont bother showing up and when they they dont work very hard.

I lurk over at DU regularly. As I've said before, every time I do, I get the feeling I'm looking into a Junior High Detention Hall. You'll never see such juvenile posts anywhere else.

"I lurk over at DU regularly. As I've said before, every time I do, I get the feeling I'm looking into a Junior High Detention Hall. You'll never see such juvenile posts anywhere else."


Not a lurker at DU, however these tatics may well be juvenile, however, but I don't think we are talking about 13 year olds.

This sounds like Saddam and his fedayheen. If this is the plan for the 'underground' what will their UNION leadership be doing?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

They're a product of their own education system.

[Blood of Tyrants]

In other words, LIE! They can't go out and logically and passionately convince people that they should throw their lot with the DNC so they tear the GOP down.

[reluctantwarrior]

Violence isn't extremism if the perception the violence is meant to correct has been sufficiently rationalized by the perpetrator. So it isn't a stretch for DU trolls to act out, union violence is legion and they feel truly threatende by conservatives. Be careful out there....these DU sh!tbags are one pebble short of a logic rock.

Some of them are school teachers.

[I still care]

I know. Intersperced with the political posts is "Poll - Do you ever have that 'not so fresh' feeling?"

Then there is always a vanity calling the president names, and there is always something outrageous like yesterday's delight about how dead colonialist missionaries stupid enough to go to foreign countries have to expect to get killed, and they don't feel sorry for them.

And there's usually a "Republicans killed Wellstone" thread, and one on somebodies cat is sick, and the I hate fundies thread, and Bush and Ashcroft are just waiting to win the election so they can throw all the gays in jail thead.

They are mindboggling over there.

[I still care]

Whoops. Try to ignore the spelling errors. Haven't had my coffee yet. Yes, I know it is "interspersed" and "appeaser"

[Arpege92]

I'm going to help the DU folks out a little and make copies of this list to hand out to as many people as I know.

[Sender]

Many of the DU'ers are stuck perpetually in that idealistic, unrealistic period we all went through in Junior High. Save the planet, free the prisoners, hug the trees, we are all one global commune etc. They honestly believe that we are all evil warmongers who rape and pillage for oil and delight in mowing down bunnies and saplings with our jacked-up, mufflerless SUVs, chugging down beers while shooting AK-47s at hapless joggers and gleefully crushing all freedom and decency in the world.

Meanwhile THEY plot and scheme to steal elections, slander our candidates, disenfranchise voters and sell out US sovereignty. It is THEY who openly seek to topple the US government and provide aid and comfort to our enemies. It is THEY who rejoice when world leaders turn against America.

"...the democrats usually have a series of syndrones that prohibit full employement..."

...ain't that the TRUTH! i know of at least 5 folks at my workplace who fit your descriptions perfectly! one lady (black/lesbian) comes and goes as she wishes and unfortunately the management here feel it's in the company's best interest to just let her keep going like this (i.e. they're VERY afraid of a race/gay card lawsuit brought on by this oh-so productive employee)!...

[reluctantwarrior]

Hey you mean I'm not supposed to shoot joggers with my AK47? Jeez another Buzzkill moment.....

[Mr. Jeeves]

Here, my friends, are your loving, compassionate Democratic neighbors at work.

Nice article, but DU posters are hardly ordinary Democrats.

[Owl_Eagle]

I wouldn't be too concerned about it.  Democrats are lazy and expect other people to do everything for them and all the suggestions require at least some modicum of effort.

tedoll78, honey, we already HAVE the White House and both Houses of Congress. What do you think will change if the status quo is retained after November?

Not a rational thought among the entire group over there.

[driftless]

They might not be typical Dems, but I work with typical Dems and have Dem relatives and their comments about Republicans is not too far from the DU morons. One Dem co-worker actually believes that Bush controls the price of gasoline. Sure, Bush wants to lose the election so badly he arbitrarily raises the price of crude oil. One other thinks that political correctness at colleges is due to conservative teachers and administrators. My three Dem sisters believe everything that is vomited out by the rad-fems. A common thread running through all my Dem acquaintances is outstanding ignorance about facts and current events and the belief that Republicans are all greedy types who "don't care" about anyone but themselves. Trying to argue facts with them is pointless. They usually devolve into an emotional harangue and nothing is accomplished. Believe me, the DU posters are only a little more deranged than most Dems.

Here's a partial dem list for destroying FreeRepublic:

1. Post stories that might unite Freepers in the middle of the night.

2. Post silly stories to drive away serious Freepers in "prime time". Post everything printed. Keep the site moving fast enough that a sense of community won't form.

3. Post comments that make people ashamed of being conservative.

4. Post unending anti-Bush articles and make sure fellow paid professional trolls keep those on top. Think of it as running a banner ad.

[GOPJ]

Everyday democrats are lazy, but the folks behind this stuff are paid professionals. And they're not lazy. They're playing for the biggest prize of our time. Control of the most powerful nation on earth.

All the talk of campaign finance reform is over. Now democrats are taking money from foreign countries. They bypass the parties and go straight to nonprofits. The power shift is frightning. When you read their list, does your skin crawl? Do you sense something? It's thuggy. It's every horrible banana republic -- every totalitarian nightmare in it's infancy. And they'll do it here if they can.

Big stakes, bigger players. If you underestimate these goons, you could force us all to pay a very high price.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Democrats are lazy and expect other people to do everything for them and all the suggestions require at least some modicum of effort.

Great idea! I think the more exposure this gets, the better. Print them out folks, and spread this around your office. Let everyone see just how juvenile and desperate Dems are these days.

5) Make sure that you're the only ride on voting day for a group of hard right types who live out of the way, and then don't show up.

The lefties just don't understand.
Hard Right Types earn a good living, and have their own ride.

[weegee]

Think MS-NBC, Newsweek, the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, or the Der Spiegel will be running any excerpts of this? After all they all have run significant pieces "outing" Free Republic's activism (in the arena of online polls).

Maybe the Kerry Campaign needs to be asked for their take on this. It is not much different than what the musician who calls himself Moby (sometimes) said:

Punk the prez? - Moby's anti-Bush tricks

...and the Kerry Campaign did attempt to denounce/distance themselves from that.

Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson likened Moby's proposal to "dirty campaign tactics we're already seeing from John Kerry."

"His campaign was willing to use these kinds of voter suppression tactics against members of his own party in Iowa and New Hampshire," Iverson says. "John Kerry is a hypocrite. He pledged to run a clean campaign. Then he uses the lowest form of gutter politics to impugn his opponents, Democratic and Republican. It's unfortunate but this is probably just the beginning of the kind of tactics we're going to be seeing from John Kerry in the months to come."

Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said, "I doubt that Moby was suggesting anybody suppress the vote. We did not use any dirty tactics against any candidate.

"When it comes to dirty tricks the Republic party wrote the book. We've already seen Republican attacks and we haven't even won the nomination yet. The Republican Party is clearly afraid of John Kerry."

Well, at least that would be putting Democratic babies to good use. Democrats simply wash them down the garbage disposal before they're born.

This is sort of a reverse PING. Media silence... after all we have seen a number of high profile attacks on FR in the media just over online activism responding to polls. Let's see the media expose the rats at DU for just what they are...

Some scientific Democrats are trying to avoid the tragedy of flushing dead babies down the drain. They intend to cannibalize the infants (who are conceived/killed simply to extract parts). Ah, genetics.
