NY-23: Scozzafava Photo-Op Goes Horribly Wrong (RINO makes hilarious gaffe)
Washington Independent ^ | 10/21/09 1:30 PM | By David Weigel

Posted on 10/21/2009 12:31:52 PM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Michael Patrick Leahy, the Tea Party activist who has been going after NY-23 GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava with hammer and tongs, produces this photo of the candidate stumping today outside of one of Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman’s offices. Little-known fact: There are lots of campaign workers, and signs, in such offices, ready to be deployed.

Here’s some video from the presser.

Dear Bob J,

As I'm not a prophet (although there appears to have recently been a self-proclaimed prophet running around the Religion Forum the last few weeks), I wouldn't presume to label anything that I wrote as “Christian revelation.”

For us Catholics, anyway, public revelation ended with the death of the last apostle.

That’s my point Jim. Concentrating on her looks only detracts from out argument and it makes us look childish in the meantime. Who takes the word of a child?

If we want to be effective against her, convince people of the deficiencies of her positions. To do less invites erosion of one’s effectiveness.

Damn! It's like a Sonia Sotomayor ugliness flashback!

She's definitely Supreme Court material under the oscumbo reign...Be willing to bet that she'll be named to the court sometime during the One's 4th or 5th term as Emperor...

I’m a 50ish woman and I think MadameMayhem was both correct and eloquent. This thread has been a joy to my heart.

Hit them everywhere you can! Not just where they like it. We are setting the terms of engagement - not the statists.

Bob, you are new to this rebellion thing aren’t you.

And my husband agrees with me, so I guess we’re all in agreement :)

Well, Bob, I’m just real sorry about that. American politicians started smearing their political opponents based on physical appearances, oh, about two hundred and twenty some odd years ago and it hasn’t stopped yet. Perhaps the feds should make a law against it. /s

And it’s a real shame too because physical beauty is only skin deep while ugliness (evil) goes clear to the bone and permeates the soul.

This woman is evil.

Concentrating on her looks only detracts from out argument and it makes us look childish in the meantime.

Then where have you been on the several hundred or so threads discussing her liberalism and her conservative opponent? You seem to be concentrating on the one thread that I've seen that is having a good laugh at her expense. You are also doing your part to keep bumping it to the top. As you are well aware, every time a comment is made, it bumps a thread back to the top of activity view. It also gives the thread more active links which will give it better standing with search engines. So I guess, thanks for doing your part. All of this 'let's play nice' talk reminds me of McCain's campaign. I'm sorry, but our side has played that strategy over and over and when we do, we get creamed. Our opponents fight the battle in the trenches, we can't sit on ivory towers and win that type of war. I believe I speak for a lot of FReepers when I say I'm tired of playing nice. If our opponents want to play the game of getting in the mud with ridicule, satire, etc, then dammit, we'll take the battle to them.

We had a great thread here where FReepers were, frankly, just having fun. We had a sense of community. Then Bob, sitting atop his high horse, comes along and decides to play holier than thou and piss in everyone's cheeroes. This, coming from a person who has no problem in trashing some of the Conservatives like Palin. You seem to want to not have bad old meanie talk about the RINOs who are bringing us down, but when you are on a Palin thread (for example) you just want to decry her from top to bottom. The professional contrarian shtick is getting old Bob.

David Poole is probably rolling over in his grave looking at the guy’s “man-feet”.

“We are setting the terms of engagement - not the statists.”

And by all means let’s set the terms of engagement at her nipples, because you know, that’s where victories are won or lost.

This is why I left conservative activism. Thew troops were just too stupid and how long can you keep making excuses?

Please, Bob, I really think you are getting bent out of shape over nothing here.

It has been brought to your attention by a number of people, you are only making things worse by harping on it and bringing attention to yourself and this particular peeve of yours. A quietly written FReepmail to those who’s post you have a problem with would probably have gained you far more yardage (to use your analogy) than the offensive strategy you chose.

He looks white to me. It also looks like he cobbled together the sign with a marker so he may have been a passer-by.

You do realize that you’ve said the word ‘nipples’ about five times more than anyone else on this thread? I would bet that if you search for Scozzafava +Nipples, in a short while, your comments would be at the top of the list. You are creating an internet meme.. keep it up..

Oh, and thanks for bumping the thread back to the top again.

Exactly. And that is how it should be, we need to be the ones controlling the conversation.

The BEST way to ‘stick it to Dede’ is to fire off a contribution to Mr. Hoffman’s campaign. He mentioned on Beck’s radio show earlier that some financial help would certainly be welcome. Beck was TRYING to schedule an appearance for Hoffman on his FNC show tomorrow night. He has EXCELLENT conservative credentials; based on what I heard on the radio this morning.

I realize that, however it is impossible as neither my husband or I have had steady employment in a while. If I had money right now to give a campaign it would go to one of the Conservatives running statewide here in VA.

I want to see Mr. Hoffman do really well, I truly do, but I do need to concentrate my energies on my home turf right now.
