Among Democrats, there are two views as to how to pull this off now. The popular view is the one that looks to Bush making mistakes and, perhaps, to an economic downturn that will make swing voters long for the days of Democratic prosperity under Clinton.

The Democrats have to have an enemy to demonize. They studied the tactics of Goebbels and Stalin well. Every film student studies Eisenstein and Reifenstahl. Now they have their professional propagandists and are seeking to force all public opinion.
If it isn't Bush, it's Newt Gingrich, or it's Tom DeLay, or it's Frist, or it's Bush, or it's Rumsfeld, or it's Cheney, or it's Sarah Palin, or it's Joe the Plumber, or it's Rush.
The target will never be anyone leading their own party.
It was OK to wish openly for Bush to fail since he was a Republican and a white man...to wish for Obama to fail is racist.
The first thing my liberal cooworker said to me this morning was(and loud enough for the others in the area to hear), “What’s this about your friend Rush Limbaugh? I hear he hopes President Obama will fail.”
Touche!
The war is on to marginalize Rush Limbaugh.
Think about it folks. We are seeing Stalinist tactics with mob thinking in play.

Yes, we could do the same. Not just individual targets but slogans, buzz words etc.
Make more effort with our own slogans and sound bites. Long explanations, even when informative, don’t resonate with the sheeple.
For example, don’t let them push the “Fairness Doctrine” when it’s really the Progaganda Doctrine or the Indoctrination Doctrine - or hopefully something even better. The RNC needs to hire the best PR and marketing people to come up with better slogans and brief but accurate position statements.
Want to convince the fence sitters and deniers that terrorists need to be destroyed? Draw the parallels between beefing up the local police to stop gangs that prey on the innocent. Although the average American should be able to see that without hand holding, they just don’t.
Unfairness Doctrine. That way everytime they hear “fairness”, they are already hearing it as UNfairness.
Same with the way the left called it “the contract ON america”, “the gingrinch that stole christmas”...
A few years back they didn’t just stop at going after Rush. They went after BO’Reily for some phonecall tapes, Bill Bennett for gambling, Michael Savage for saying choke on a sausage (it was a cooking segment on tv), die of parasites from improperly stored meats, and “get AIDS” all to a known prank caller (who lied about being gay), I think they went after Michael Donahue for a statement they took out of context (he was quoting a book and then immediately refuted the statement he’d just read), etc. etc.
Rush learned when a partisan “security” guard tried to out him for “drugs” when he went out of the country (the viagra thing) that he would be unable to leave the US “safely” until after the 2008 election. Wonder if he’s staying put until 2012.
Stalinists lie. Always. And quite openly.
This is just another partisan smear. And the Pravda Media won’t raise this on tonight’s news. They all know about it by now.
Not that’s what I’M talkin’ about.
They should hire you!
