I called in on the “Support Others” line, which rang and rang and CSPAN never picked up. Interesting how the majority of the calls were for Obama.

Why doesn’t c-span have a counter view on?

I just hope they stay focused on the book. 1) It will make Mr. Corsi very rich (and we know how they love the rich) and 2) They will continue to leave their flanks totally unprotected.

ALL the calls were for Obama.

It was obvious it was part of the Jamming program.

Poedesta’s brown shirts are told ahead to block the phone lines and c-span plays stupid.

The only people they ever outlawed were the goofballs from the Fairscam advocates.

This is serious jamming and c-span fell for it hook line and sinker. (seriously 1 vs 2 as balance?)

c-span had corsi.

so Media Matters had called ahead and demanded THEY would get equal time with corsi.

corsi was told the ONLY way he would be allowed on c-span is if he allowed TWO (yes TWO) counters to him. One from media matters (soros) and one from the Obama camp (black liberation theology).

NO MCCAIN.

NO CONSERVATIVE THINK TANK.

I just hope the documentary based on the book comes out soon.

I’m plowing through the Corsi book now so I can’t judge it yet, but the Obama campaign is making a classic blunder here. The lesson they learned from Kerry is to respond early and hard.

Problem is, they are OVERreacting like a junior high cheerleader in a bitchslapping contest.

Forty-one pages of rebuttal? Shrill, glass-shattering squeals of protest?

Methinks they doth protest too much.

Obama PANIC is a better word.

They KNEW all this stuff was going to come out.

However rapid response to a real live lie would work.

Calling the TRUTH a lie will never work over the long term because the truth always trumps the lie.

The “rapid response” is just point the finger and saying liar liar pants on fire. (or did not have sex with that woman or repeatedly stating it is a national enquirer lie or i did not pay attention to what rev wright was really saying) Truth trumps rapid response goons.

If the book is full of lies why does Obama not sue for slander?

Don’t tell me Waldman was in Vietnam, and is now going to proclaim the TRUTH?

He was. He fought for the Vietcong.

“Problem is, they are OVERreacting like a junior high cheerleader in a bitchslapping contest.”

That is very funny...by the way, will Obama come clean on all of this like Kerry did when he released his records?...oh wait...he never did release his records did he?...Obama is pure evil with an agenda. STOP HIM NOW!

Mediasmatters uses the Left's patented response: make the messenger the "issue."

... and any "substantive" argument about the message goes like this:

"The book is full of smears."

What Smears?

"You know, the lies!""

What lies?

"All that Internet stuff."

What stuff?

"The smears."

What Smears?

"You know, the lies!""

What lies?

"All that Internet stuff."

Media Matters was sent out to try and marginalize the truth.

By October, the new Media Matters meme will be “old news”

The fact that camp Obama had a panic attack on this assures this will NEVER be “old news.”

Panic attack can morph to meltdown very quickly.

This election our attack must be done in a different way. You see FR was very instrumental in 2000 & 2004, however it has been infiltrated. Also, C-Span and other places will not give a fair time to conservatives or opposers of Obama...it isn’t a fair game anymore due to the media’s plan to rule and pick the winner. Circumvent the media, and use the internet sites frequented by moderate dems and independents. The promotion of “the Obama Nation” has been done through some comments on The Huffington Post and other liberal sites..lol

The real impact is to get on sites that have a huge viewership of independents and Hillary supporters like Searchwarp.com and EzineArticles. These people read the articles on the election, oil and economic problems. They email them to their friends. We will not be effective in the old ways, but FR is great for us to discuss among ourselves the politics of the day. It will not however sway the undecided, unless they stumple upon this site. If you can search for sites that write articles and make sound arguments on the facts to write an article, or comment on an article written...use websites with large viewership. It’s public domain, use it. We only have a couple of months to do this.

The more the OBAMAMITES promote that Corsi’s book is a lie, then the more people will buy it. Remember Shakespeare “me thinks the lady doth protest too much”...it will be seen as FEAR from Obama campaign, because there are 6-7 books out opposing Obama, so WHY ONLY CORSI’S book under attack? It is on Best Seller list, and democrats in my family are waiting in line to read it...as the family copy is being passed around. Do not fear, it will be like trying to harness a slick pig to hurt Corsi...the prayers covering him are being answered. The man will be blessed for writing it, as will the other authors.

IF WE ACT NOW, and DO OUR PART to spread the word, and refute those bloggers with facts, and those right bashing articles on public websites we can comment; or write our own articles in response , it will be amazing the impact. Let’s roll!

Now, Freepers please get out on cyberville to the social sites used by Dems and promote truth. You don’t have to like Bush, but you can appreciate the fact that we haven’t had a major attack since 9/11, and the surge has worked so let’s defend conservatism. Even if you don’t vote for McCain at least oppose the OBAMAFASCINATION with facts. Thanks. If you have a ping list, then please help with promoting this attack on the enemies of freedom.

RIGHT NOW the democrats are using this type of networking to get voters and promote the OBAMANATION! Pass this on:
To understand what I am talking about please read the article “Is the election being won on FACEBOOK”

The absurd fact is Media Matters is portrayed as “non partisan” when in fact it is 100% biased to the left.

The sylogisms work likethis

Media Matters is a nonpartisan observer.
Media Matters says Obama Nation is by a Liar.
Obama Nation is by a liar is a non partisan observation.

ANY outlet, including c-span, that has media matters as nonpartisan is only diminishing their credibility.

This is where the POWER OF OUR PERSONAL EMAIL LISTS COMES INTO PLAY. You have to consider how much viral power we at FR have.

If we are separated from everyone by 6.2 degrees then we had FR can reach our connections by FR to the 6.2 power. one contacts 6.2 who all contact 6.2 who all contact 6.2 ....

Our contacts are PERSONAL unlike the dinosaur media which is press release driven and journalisticly incompetent. (sorry Wolf, your one way communication is obsolete)

Places like YouTube should be ground zero. Like it or not, a lot of people get their information from there. We have to be tactful and get the message across without letting ourselves get pulled down to the emotional levels the other side engages in. Also, keep in mind they will respond by bringing up another accusation to distract from the point you were making, or respond in a way as to change the context of the discussion - strongly, yet tactfully, point this out and move the discussion back to where it started - make them address your point.
