As I mentioned in another post, it's been clear for a while now (I think since the NSA surveillance issue came out) that one of the DNC talking points has been 'secretive administration'. I've been trying to do some research on it, but not having a lot of luck. I do remember many of the Dims and MSM using 'secretive'. I'd like to suggest that we add that as a keyword anytime it's used in an article or by a Dim. Not only that word, but other words/terms that appear to be DNC talking points. By doing so, we could track back and see who was using them and how much - - might come in handy. Maybe this is already done, but I couldn't find it's widely done.

MSNBC via Newsweak has a story about "MSNBC.COM NEWS Inside Cheney's secretive world"

Think you uncovered a new DNC talking point?

I really like the idea of including any talking points we identify as keywords. It might help if we come up with a standardized way to flag them as such. It would give us a way to search on articles and discussions that tie in with the current talking points being pushed.

Maybe "DNC talking point -" followed by the particular word. We'd do the same them for Republican talking points, as well. If that's too long we might work on a short hand way to do the same thing, e.g. "DNC says" or even an acronym of some sort.

I'm going to ping the admin moderators on this message as a way of asking if this is something that a) would make sense and b) we might need to set up a seperate thread to work out a labeling convention.

I haven't read the whole thread yet...but, if "secretive" wasn't one of the dem's main "talking points" it will be after today..

Since his highness, Bubba, used that word when talking on TV this morning about the Cheney shooting incident..

Pot/kettle.
