if you don't know the definition of FUD you are sheep to DNC's slaughter. Fear Uncertainty and Doubt One definition: Fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) is a "tactic" of rhetoric used in sales, marketing, public relations[1][2] and politics. FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative (and vague) information. An individual firm, for example, might use FUD to invite unfavorable opinions and speculation about a competitor's product; to increase the general estimation of switching costs among current customers; or to maintain leverage over a current business partner who could potentially become a rival.
The term originated to describe disinformation tactics in the computer hardware industry and has since been used more broadly.[3] FUD is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
BTW this whole bailout things is relying heavily on FUD.
1. Palin might make a mistake 2. She may be more conservative than she claims 3. She has no depth(no Harvard Yale connections, no connections to the Power Elites of our society)
And remember the allegation that our candidate is dumb is an old hackneyed canard. It is brought out every 4 years. Reagan=dumb Carter=brilliant(except for anti-semitic stuff) Quayle=dumb Gore=very intelligent Bush=dumb Gore=super smart Bush=dumb Kerry=Smartest man alive? Palin=dumb Biden=Unmatched intelligence(except for plagiarism, FDR and 1929 television opinion.
OUR DEFENSES?

The numerous vanity posts of despair on FR from folks who only joined us within the last couple months.
Our defense?
Return of the Viking Kitties!
Huge BARF ALERT! Here’s a vid sent to me by a RAT acquaintance fm Ohio. It’s what the opposition is saying about Palin:

Some of those trolls are good; very good.
I've seen join dates as early as 2002!
One thing they can't hide, though, is their posting pattern. How many times have they posted prior to 2008?
Does anyone remember how to check that? There used to be a way, but not having used it for years, I've forgotten.
And yes, definitely, the Viking Kitties need to come out of mothballs.
I pray that Americans are smart enough to see through these vitriolic lies.
