DCCC takes on Fox News
Politico ^ | January 27, 2010 | Staff

Posted on 01/27/2010 10:31:35 AM PST by jazusamo

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has come up with a novel way to energize the base and capitalize on the left’s antipathy to Fox News—a “Fact Check Fox” State of the Union rapid response team staffed by grassroots activists.

“This group of Democratic Party activists will stand at the ready to counter the lies and distortions that erupt from the rightwing media and Republican spin doctors like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck following President Obama's State of the Union address on Wednesday night,” reads the email, which will be sent out Wednesday to its 4 million-plus list. “You will receive rapid response fact check text alerts and a direct line to our Rapid Response team to tell us when you see Republican pundits and Members of Congress twisting the truth.”

The DCCC email, which says it aims to recruit 5,000 new members to its fact check team by midnight, comes with head shots of four top Fox villains—Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.

I used to be on the DCCC email list (no idea how it happened) but the stuff got so thick and stinky that I told them to take me off. Had quite a nasty exchange with that weasel Van Hollen.
Also told James Webb to stop sending me his crap, too. I despise that man, and I suspect most real Marines do as well.

The DCCC is actually the new CCCP. Just for the record.

The White House is deeply involved with this whether the DCCC is taking the credit or not.

Follow the money.

Sean and the rest have always been fact-checked anyway, by those sad pathetic libs who live in their parents’ basements and have time to listen to every word that is spoken and take most of them out of context.

It doesn’t take a genius to do it. Probably that’s why the dems are doing it.

The left are like a bunch of spoiled brats who throw a temper tantrum every time things don't go their way. Fact checking? When was the last time they concerned themselves with facts? They exist in a state of lies and denial.

Someone needs to do a cartoon of Orwell’s pigs “fact checking” Fox News.

You're absolutely right, this has Zer0 and his thugs' fingerprints all over it.

Vegas Odds are that the DCCC will get mudhole stomped by FOXNews.
