There is no point fighting it; like any bully, it just encourages them to pile it on more.
The TEA party movement has them on the run by sheer numbers alone...we don't need to be defensive, we know what we are and we'd be fools to let them define us.
Just look at all the heat Sarah Palin has taken, and only a couple of times when the left picked on her kids did she fire back.
They can't get to her, and it's bugging them to no end. We've got to be that way too. What they say about us doesn't make it TRUE...and no one is listening to them but their base anyway, and who are they? Who cares who they are.
Conservatives are TUNED IN AND TURNED ON for the cause, we don't need to be sold, we just need to stay strong, and take that "guilt" and put it in a lockbox somewhere...it won't help us, it will help them.
We can't play "defense" for the next 7 months and expect to win...lay it on them in return. That's what Sarah does, that's what Rush does, that's what Hannity and Beck do...it works.
EMAIL has better coverage than all the news media put together, IF we use it and go viral with it. You will contact more people than NBC will...why do you think "spamming" is so popular, they are trying to reach people.
Ridicule really gets to them...you heard obama whining about Rush and Beck the other night...and the TEA party movement has them beside themselves.
Take satire and ridcule like then and go email-viral with it.
Hang tuff, stay on message...be a broken record and don't get distracted...it's what they are counting on.
