[Maceman]

We are organizing a national post-debate, rapid-response effort that will reinforce Kerry's position on Iraq:

As soon as we can figure out what it is.

[finallyatexan]

Okay everyone sign up for their email and let's really mess them up.

[Raffus]

Laughing out loud! This is hysterical!

[OH Swing Voter]

do you think a lot of us freepers should sign up--and freep it by sending absolutely ridiculous messages out afterward? I would be willing to say "hey I went into these debates a Kerry supporter--but why didn't we explain where he stands on Iraq? and plus--the dude was ORANGE--I am starting to think he may be a little weird and creepy...."

[IceAge]

Hmmm, wonder how many Freepers could sign up and help Kerry out? wouldn't that be fun?

[ptcmama]

Hey, let's all sign up! I'm curious as to what the instructions coming later are going to be! Sounds like fun! We can do the exact opposite of what they're telling their folks to do!

securing promised international support

Who, Mr. Kerry? The same phantom heads of state who are secretly pulling for you? Idiots.

[thoughtomator]

OK well I signed up as Yasser Arafat... if I remember I'll post their post-debate email.

[Pete'sWife]

I've never done anything like this before, but I'm in.

[Dog Gone]

This is obviously a plan to orchestrate a response that Kerry won. Flood the media with "Tonight I discovered that Kerry has a clear plan in Iraq and Bush doesn't. He certainly won over this Republican. (Or Independent)."

[IceAge]

I think I'm "in". I signed up for several of their "communities".....Republicans, women, law enforcement, veterans, high tech............

Sounds like they plan to DUpe the public by DUmping on the results of some "post-debate" polls and hotlines.

"Don't start dialing until we hand you the DNC's talking points!"

[Pete'sWife]

Ecch. I did it.

I also clicked all the little squares.

My Gmail account is gonna get a real workout, I guess.

[Diago]

It should be interesting to see what we get tomorrow.

[tapatio]

I just signed up for the rapid response team.This should be fun!

[Avenger]

They are going to try to swamp the mainstream media with their talking points. They going to basically going to try to coerce (as if any coercion was necessary) the mainstream media to report their talking points by overwhelming them with calls and emails and at the same time block any communication from Bush supporters. On the Internet this would be called a denial-of-service attack.

Maybe the pajamaheedins should organize a response of their own?

[jennyjenny]

Ah, more double secret plans.
