The point is to stop playing the game of: it's only a story if they say it is to fit their narrative. Network news doesn't have the power any more.
It's long past time we took the battle full force to the liberals in the media. We win in the marketplace of ideas, but they won the battle for 'journalism' in the 60s. They control the industry all the way down to the J School level.
We have the media tools now. I think it's critical we fight in this arena instead of accepting that we will always have an uphill battle against a hostile media.
Me too. It was perfect timing. Well played by the Daily Caller, Drudge and Hannity.
Don’t know if this is a “game changer” but I wouldn’t disregard an actual video of Obozo singing Rev Wright’s song, using the “negro cadence”, putting down the “man” like he be from the ghetto and all that crap and then remembering his “race negator” speech before the election in ‘08 when he threw his grandmother under the bus and said he never heard the Rev race bait...it shows actual proof of his lying, manipulation and lack of integrity.
I think it moves the ball in the right direction.....heh.
It's only obvious that he is feeding in to their Neurosis to keep them in line.
He tells blacks that the white people are keeping them down.
He tells young women that conservatives are after their lady parts
He tells the taxpayer that the rich are cheating them.
I agree that this is not for the hardcore voters on either side, but this could have a nice impact on the people who voted for Obama in 2008 because it felt good. So many of those voters either chose to ignore or simply never found this kind of information.
In 2012, maybe the feeling isn’t there like it used to be, but they still haven’t been ready to admit that they made a mistake... Well maybe this will give those voters a little bit of a nudge. Maybe they’ll vote for Romney, or maybe they’ll just stay home and not vote for Obama this time. Either way, they’ll be doing something closer to their civic duty this time then they did four years ago!
I will be surprised if it is even mentioned on any of the broadcast MSM morning shows or evening news. They are the filter. If they don’ t show it, it didn’t happen. Not everybody has cable, and of those that do, not everybody watches Fox news or even CNN. Fewer still watch MSNBC.
This video is presently available only on the Internet, and then only if you go looking for it intentionally. While we like to think that just because something is on the net, everybody is watching, it just isn’t so.
How many times have you gotten an email from some friend telling you to watch this or that video that ‘everybody is talking about’ only to see some inane scene of vapid stupidity that wasn’t worth the time it took you to click on the link?
The same will be true of this video. People have gotten jaded into ignoring such silliness in their daily lives and will just delete the email. Most of those who do actually go to the website will watch a few minutes, but when it gets too deep, they will just close the window.
Bottom line is, the only people that will be affected by this video, positive or negative, have probably already seen it.......
He can talk like Thurston Howell III for all I care, but at the end of the day he is still an AMERICA-HATING COMMUNIST.
Between the groups who would vote for Obama; the socialists, racists, clueless, and parasites, the response to this video will be somewhere between “right on” to “so what”. I see exactly zero net votes shifted from one column to the other.
Given the Leftist reaction to this video around the Wed the only people who think this is a big nothing are here at FR
This isnt for the hard core on either side.
This exposes the great uniter as just another race baiting huckster like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. We all knew this in 2008. The middle, including about 15% of normally GOP voters, did not.
This video is not going to sit well with the independents who voted for a post racial President in 2008. This video shows he is not The One they were promised.
Is it really true that this won’t “exist” unless the MSM mentions it? The MSM wasn’t mentioning that their polls were probably skewed to help Obama, but polling shows that 40% of the public thinks that the polls are skewed to help Obama. Somehow that meme got out to 40% of the population.
I disagree. The bottom line is whether this will change the tenor and trajectory of the election at this point and put the libs on defense.
If it does it will be a blow to the liberal media and will come at them through the window of new media, this way
I hope you are right but my gut tells me different.
That is a very good example. And there are others, more on the way.
It is possible that the meme for this one is: Obama talks black to black audiences and white to white audiences. He's a political manipulator.
With his foreign policy in the ME blowing up currently - and that is getting out also there despite the MSM - we could see momentum shift.
The media’s take on this is, “If a Republican is alone in the forest and has an idea, he is still wrong.”
They see themselves as the Gatekeepers of Truth, and they get to define that truth as they see fit.
The great unwashed masses will not see this video if the MSM has their way.......
The tenor of this campaign will head toward soprano with possibly a capital S.
The trajectory may be affected, but you’ll have to rely on Kentucky Windage........
I think they like the fact that he is a better tailored Al Sharpton. A sweeter smelling gutter snipe muslim street agitator. A Louis Farrakhan without the glasses. A presidential “truther”.
This pencil necked, skinny little dope fiend gets people killed and what. .
Crickets.
We have to use social media against them this time in the way that they used it against us last time. Post the link to the video everywhere.
