“almost solely on new ways to communicate their old ideas.”

They say that as if it were a BAD thing.

Instead of finding new solutions to public policy problems or seriously reevaluating Bush’s failures, conservatives focused almost solely on new ways to communicate their old ideas.

It's interesting that the writer conveys this with a decidedly negative tone. Yet it's EXACTLY what the Dems have done in the last 10-15 years. Manipulate language to make their old, Socialist/Marxist ideas palatable to the public.

Article is a case study in projection.

The single best example of this is how the positive-sounding term "Progressive" has now replaced the neutral sounding "Liberal" in how they describe themselves and their policies.

Secrets of the conservative media machine >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Simple secret. We tell the truth regardless of PC requirements.

Some lioberals are so PC that they actually live in their own self created UTOPIAN reality that is completely dysfunctional and unbcivilized.

Thats our secret, not to buy into the PC alternate reality espoused by the left and used by Obama to manipulate and control them.

Hi guy. I hope you're doing well.

Fox News couldn’t be more right-wing...

Ah, not so much.

***Free Republic provided a platform for conservatives to share conspiratorial perspectives and to organize their own rallies and event***

These folks - Salon, MSNBC, NYT, Democrap Party, etc. - are Stalinists, Jim; sooner or later the conservatives on FR and elsewhere are going to realize that the chances of winning our country back at the ballot box is diminishing, along with truthful elections. We are in a terminal battle for the very survival of Western Civilization!!!

We will get little help from New England, New York, California, Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, Washington [state]... probably more.

Also, Obama's Marxism has put so many people on the government dole that they cannot afford to stand up against the government take-over of freedom.

Gird your loins, FReepers... we are in a real battle; if we lose we will cease to exist as individuals... we will be property of the state [Stalin!]

Delusional much? (Not you Jim, the author) Not in the sense of acknowledging work and successes by FR or Drudge but in that absurd yet ubiquitous canard about how the right has all the media on its side. Do they imagine if they say this enough times it might become true, or might start to appear to be true? Please. Idiots.

“Angry mobs” ??

Not what I was part of! We were a calm, enthusiastic, well-informed, clear thinking, organized group —— with the concerns of our country in mind. Not what conjures up the vision of an ‘angry mob’.

>>>Dalton reasoned that because conservatives philosophically embrace ideological loyalty and are generally more comfortable with authoritarian, top-down communication, they would never really harness the potential of new media. Liberals on the other hand automatically flourish in environments where users are granted freedom to communicate with infinite possibilities.<<<

It’s like watching the Bizarro world reading this article. I had to stop here... I really think this Dalton guy believes what he’s saying, which is frightening enough. All I have to do is compare Free Republic’s comments to those at the Daily Kos or DU to demonstrate the vapidity of Dalton’s observations.

On the other hand, the idea of “infinite possibilities” sure does sound like Jonah Goldberg’s definition of fascism - a belief system untethered by any adherence to morals or ethics, where the only thing that matters is having the power to do what you want.

God help us.
