Update: “The RNC is inciting angry mobs to shout out legitimate discussion at public events across the country and now they want to ignore people who deplore their tactics,” said DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse about the DNC’s failed effort to incite angry mobs to flood the RNC with phone calls.

This is clever:
Republicans played a trick on Democrats today by redirecting angry telephone calls coming into their switchboard to the Democratic National Committee, CNN reports.
Earlier this morning, the DNC released a web video accusing the GOP of inciting mob activity.
“At the end of the video, the DNC instructs people to call the Republican National Committee to express outrage. Callers who dial the RNC’s main number to voice their concern about the DNC’s charges are told to press 1, which sends them to the DNC’s main switchboard.”
The emphasis on that deliciously ironic pair of phrases is mine. In the name of countering what they claim is the GOP’s inexcusable “incit[ement of] mob activity,” the Democrats did what they always do: stir up the masses and, yes, incite mob activity in opposition to the GOP.
Whoever the clever RNC staffer was who thought to redirect those calls right back to the source of the outrage — the DNC — deserves a free lunch and a letter of commendation. That was freaking awesome.
This is how to play.
This is how to fight!
The GOP is going to need something to counter the ACORN and Union mobs once they get organized and moving —which you better believe they will
Excellent play.
To the 800 Number at $1.70 per call???
They also need to do a video wearing Brook Brothers suits.
Agreed, and I would have called that an oxymoron.
I guess it's time to again revisit the GOP online store to see if they are still selling Victor the Victory Elephant '08 dolls, to raise money for the 2008 election.
Yes!
"Victor is ready to hit the Convention floor to place his nomination vote for John McCain and rally Republicans to victory with his Convention Pennant."
Note to GOP: Republicans lost the 2008 presidential race nine months ago.
Has the staffer been fired yet?
