DNC Talking Points?

self

[Sir_Humphrey]

Over the past few months I have read a lot on FR and have heard on talk radio about DNC talking points about how to call in to conservative or "unbiased" talk radio. The most recent being people calling in posing as life long Republicans and staunch conservatives who supported Bush and have never voted for the Dems but now "have seen the light" (What ever the F### that means)

I have looked but can not find a site with these talking points. I have no doubt they exist, but there is nothing like proof to shove in the faces of some of the trendy lefties uphere in the Northeast. Specifically I need to see the liberal talking points for calling in to conservative talk radio.

I know this sounds like an odd request but it will make the greater point on how phony all this liberal outrage is and prove that it's nothing more than politics as usual. Thanks in advance- my fellow freepers have never let me down

Natural instinct, We smell them out like trolls and so do the conservative talk show hosts.

They have only called about a thousand times with the same old jibber jabbers.

It's from about 5 or 6 years ago where a democrat group(carville's I think) put out a memo stating on how to call conservative talk radio shows and C-Span.

That's where Rush got the term "seminar caller".

Nah. People don't change the core values they've had all their lives to vote for personal damnation. It just doesn't happen.

[dakine]

I "haven't seen the light", but on domestic issues the Pres. is seeming more and more like his Dad. I'll leave it at that...

Get the DNC newsletter...you'll be deluged with email from various lefty organizations. Read the email and listen to radio/TV. You'll see the similarities in what you read and what you're hearing. Particular keywords and phrasers will be noticably repetitive.

Oh you can pick up on the talking point real easy nowadays. Usually it starts with a couple of DemoRats showing up on the Sunday shows and using words such "gravitas" for example. Then you hear their buddies in the MSM on the talking head shows,like Chrissy Matthews Softball show, use the terms and they usually show up in the usual suspects columns in the newspapers. Then of course you find them in letter to editor by mind numbed, Kool-Aid drinking Rats which look like form letters after awhile.

They use stealth politics. Their talking points are most often e-mailed around. Occasionally, FReepers sign up to get them, and post them here. If you want their talking points e-mailed to you, just sign up at a far left wing wacko site like Moore's, Move.On, and Code Pink. They're the craziest.

Right now, Moore's site has the updates on their latest propaganda. All you have to do is read it to pick up the new "code words" the useful idiots are suppose to use.

1. It's Bush's fault.

[lawdude]

" That's where Rush got the term "seminar caller"."

I recall the day or two when suddenly every mainstream retorter began using a term against Candidate Bush. It was to mean lightweight thinker.

I had not heard used in probably 30-40 years. It was such an uncommon term that I cannot for the life of me remember it. (see below)

Anyway, in that 48 hour period, every MSM reporter used the term and a couple couldn't even use it properly. Rush put together a montage of 40-50 sound bites where useful idiot reporters showed their true colors.


GOT IT... "GRAVITAS!"

For a long time, they have had a FAX operation where the latest "talking points" are sent to a list of their supporters.

It used to be run out of the White House, but is from the DNC now I think.

The FAX is sent every thursday so it could be used to prepare for the Sunday shows.

I have seen the FAX number list posted here a couple of times.

Tune into Fox News Sunday for the panel discussion tomorrow morning. Juan Williams reads the DNC talking points from the paper in front of him.

[Redbob]

"Juan Williams reads the DNC talking points from the paper in front of him."

Doesn't he just!

Having seen him speak extemporaneously a couple times, I KNOW he doesn't come up with his Sunday morning ideas on his own.

And usually Brit is poised to bat him down and send him back where he belongs to the corner to wear his dunce cap.

Just a random cull from my links:

 

 Dems Accuse Bush of 'Sugarcoating' Iraq News  They get their talking points from the same source. Evidently "sugarcoat" was supposed to be the word of the day. They were planning to repeat it, like Pavlov did with his experimental dogs, until every time anyone heard the word they would automatically think, "Bush is a draft dodger."
Much the same was done with the word "potatoe" when the Dem media crucified you-know-who. All you need to do is say the word "potatoe" and "Dan Quayle is a stupid conservative country-clubber" springs into your mind.

 If you want to get the "talking points" of the day, simply tune into C-SPAN at 7 AM (EDT) every morning.

 

 CSPAN Morning Journal is Awash with DUmmies - Diebold   The talking points have gone out to the union and senior citizen group phone banks. Part of the DNC MO. They do it all the time.

 

 

 Wounds Opened Anew as Vietnam Resurfaces

 Honestly, who reads this crap?
Most of my neighbors in this liberal city. Many of your neighbors, since Slimes articles get reprinted in local papers around the country. And the talking points contained in the article will be repeated on all of the news shows tomorrow.
That's how the liberals set the agenda.

 

 

 About That Red-Blue Tax Split    By now you've heard the "argument" (of that, more in a moment): Blue states pay more federal taxes than red states, while getting less spending back from the federal government. A letter in our Reader Mail Monday from Devin Foley summarizes the talking points cogently. Mr. Foley helpfully provides a source for his statistics, something many a higher-profile writer has failed to do.

 It is not an argument, it is a tautology -- nothing more than a restatement of several well-known facts.

 

  Bin Laden Adopts Democrat Talking Points

 

 Democrat talking points in post-debate Letters to the Editor? (N.J. Bergen Record)

 

  More Democrats get their talking points from ABC News than any other source

 

  Heads up, the new talking points from the DNC are out about Berger/GOP. -- makes Watergate pale in comparison.
The media's non reaction validates Bernard Goldberg and his book, "Bias."

Right out of the ol' (somewhat tattered) clinton playbook...

There were two major techniques that we used to implement McCurry's strategy of getting all the bad news out early and helping reporters write bad stories.

The first was overt and fully approved within the White House chain of command... "document dumps." The second method was covert, both to the outside world and within the "official" channels of the White House - the selective placement of certain stories and hot documents with a particular news organization, on "deep background," in a manner designed to minimize damage.

The trumping argument used by McCurry and me for doing these document dumps was directly out of the rules: that the hot documents were going to be leaked anyway, or worse, they would not be leaked and would be released for the first time during nationally televised senate and house campaign-finance hearings. Better that we put the story out ourselves, with plenty of opportunity to answer questions and to characterize the documents favorably, or at least accurately....We did this rarely; this method was almost always limited to a potentially very damaging story that was complicated, and therefore, which needed a baseline or "predicate" story to frame the issue. I never did a deep-background private placement without at least someone at a high level of the White House chain of command at least generally aware of what I was doing.

The advantages of the predicate story as a critical tool of damage control cannot be overstated.... [I]t will become the foundation block for all other reporters and for all future reporting. It will pop up in every Lexis/Nexis database search from then on. If it is complete and accurate, it will likely kill or at least diminish follow-up stories, since there won't be much more to report. If it is incomplete and wrong, then the Lexis database will cause it to repeat and grow, like a virus, more and more difficult to catch up with, correct, and cure.... [T]his procedure offers us the maximum chance to get into the story our interpretation or characterization of the facts most favorable (or least damaging) to the President.

[W]hen we were trying to kill the impact of the story, we used certain news organizations for this purpose. And we chose certain time periods or days of the week to place these stories with the same purpose in mind.

Usually our first choice was the Associated Press. Not only was the AP's team of investigative reporters first-rate and notoriously fact-oriented and fair, but we found that when an AP story went out on the overnight wires, the major daily national newspapers, such as The Washington Post or The New York Times, would not be inclined to give it front-page play. If they printed it at all, it was often buried on an inside page. More importantly, if an AP story was comprehensive and accurate - meaning, an effective predicate story - it was less likely that the major dailies would have much left to report in the next day's papers.

...So we decided to call John Solomon at the AP and invited him to come over to the White House... We had come to regard Solomon as the most factually-oriented, middle-of-the-road journalist of any on the scandal beat. He would kill us with stories, for sure; but they were always factual and he went the extra mile to be fair and complete in his reporting....

[W]e hoped the story would have died down almost completely. As it turned out, we were right. Manipulative and strategic in the choice and timing of the publication of this story? I guess.

I'm definately tempted to give up on the republican party because of immigration and spending. But, that doesn't mean I would ever vote for or support a rat.
