Nailed It!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.)

I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention.

You are welcome to browse the list of truly exceptional articles I pinged to lately. Updated on August 24, 2009.  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).

Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

So it’s not just what you say, but how you say it? Or in W’s case, whether or not you say anything at all?

Sorry W, your failure to articulate Conservatism set this country back a generation.

If there is Bill Whittle ping list, I’d like to be on it. If it’s everything, I probably can’t keep up.

Great post! There are tons of creative conservative artists and designers who could go far with this “branding” idea. My guess is liberal money is financing the Dem creative efforts—don’t they control the marketing of most “creative” endeavors such as the recording and film industries? We need the same from the conservative side.

Big deal. The commies and nazis had their stylish icons too.

No, there is no Bill Whittle exclusive ping list, not that I know of. I ping to Whittle’s stuff more often than not, but I ping to other stuff as well. Check the list at my page.

Alternatively, you can bookmark Whittle’s pages (I provided links in the first post).

They took that stuff seriously. And it helped them to do more damage, IMHO of course.

Its part of info-war.

Look, an ugly stranger may be the most beautiful person on inside, but is there a chance you’d bother to learn? Is there a chance that an attractive person will have your ear sooner?

This kind of iconography is especially appealing to younger voters. Look at the great stuff young creative conservatives come up with here. Liberals use pop culture to educate their young voters. Conservatives need to do the same. I think it is a big deal..... The message young voters got during the last election cycle from their music, movies, tv, etc. was that Obama was “cool” and McCain was just some old man.

I hope so -- the last campaign, I couldn't help noticing that the Dem ads were miles better than the Republican. It looked as if the Republicans could only find liberal advertising people who -- even if they tried -- couldn't quite put their hearts into it. (Barney Frank's ads especially were terrific, all lies of course, but on the surface, intelligent, witty and just brilliant!)

Sore/Looserman was a power message on its own.
