Desperate Democrats--The only strategy they have left is personal attacks.

The Weekly Standard ^ | August 23, 2010 | Fred Barnes

Pathetic and Desperate.

” A vote for “X” is a vote for Zer0, Pelosi, Reid, Frank and Dodd.”

[Paladin2]

“A vote for “X” is a vote for more Jihad on America”

[LibWhacker]

This microstrategy is one of pure desperation.

As if they wouldn't do it if they had any other choice. It's their 'go to' strategy, all the time, every time.

[Cowboy Bob]

The strategy is clever in that it lures the media into playing along. Media types can’t help themselves.

Lures the media? Hell, the media is pushing the strategy - probably even suggested it!

BTW, Fred Barnes is a "squishy" Conservative (don't want to call him a RINO). Whenever the race card is played - or any other Democrat tactic is used - he's always the first to apologize!

[TheBattman]

Yet with the useful sheep - it will work... as they will follow right along and believe every word they hear & read.

I just find it so very hard to believe that there are so many active Marxists in the US.... and then I realize that the public schools in this nation have been run by the Marxist teachers unions for enough generations now... that you add in the idiots and the brainwashed masses....

[Frantzie]

Obama, Islam and the Democrats have TV too. The 5 networks own every channel and they ALL support Obama including Fox/Saudia. Idiots who watch TV keep the regime in power.

TV turned Shirley Sherrod from a virulent racist to a victim and mother theresa in about 2 hours.

Keep watching sheeple.

[Steely Tom]

Here's part of the answer for this: hammer away, relentlessly, like a broken record, with this question, directed to every single Democrat incumbent and every single democrat challenger to a Republican: "do you endorse President Obama's support for a mosque at Ground Zero?"

Over and over again.

[jazusamo]

As if they wouldn't do it if they had any other choice.

Exactly...They always play to it but the beautiful thing this time is it's all they have. :)

[ken5050]

Barnes, last night on Special Report, in the panel, stated he was in favor of amnesty..I wasn’t aware of this before...I’ll have to reassess ALL his comments and writings..

[jazusamo]

I agree, this can be directly attributed to our public schools of the last 30 or more years.

[jazusamo]

Excellent! That’s a direct question that would get few direct answers.

[thecodont]

Obama, Islam and the Democrats have TV too. The 5 networks own every channel and they ALL support Obama including Fox/Saudia. Idiots who watch TV keep the regime in power.

Fewer people trust the media, says Gallup.

I wasn’t aware of that either but I believe he’s dead on the money with this.

[LibWhacker]

Yep. Has Barnes never heard of Sarah Palin? The attacks on her began instantaneously, as soon as McCain named her and continued throughout the campaign, even while the rats were ahead in the polls. So it has been in every election since Nixon. This is no last minute desperate strategy. Dumbest article Fred has ever written.

[hinckley buzzard]

Really. I don't see how this differs from any other election year. 'Rats never can run on the issues and win. It just doesn't happen, for obvious reasons.

[LostInBayport]

Wasn't he one of the two (the other being Karl Rove) that the left-wing activists on Journolist suggested be smeared as "racist" to deflect criticism of their icon, Barry O? Fred may want to work on suppressing his apology impulse.

[pallis]

Dems are simply sticking with what has worked for them in the past. After all, they have the whole mainstream media for their attack dogs. The game changers are talk radio, the internet and FOX News. Americans with free minds can attack back.

[upchuck]

Is election time getting near?

Then it’s time for the RATS to start shouting and yelling and weeping and wailing how the Republicans are gonna steal your Medicare and take away your Social Security.

This old saw no longer has teeth.

For all his hipness and being so upscale, I figured nobama would come up with something at least a little original.
