Just got this cute slime in my email. My favorite is this line:
What if I told you that Republican Senators willingly voted for the earmark, largely unaware that it was even in what they were voting on.
Throw Slime and Cover your Ass at the same time.
More on the flip.
So what do you think? How do we counter this? This is obviously a test run and as such it is understandably a little weak. The bigger slime are forthcoming.
We should handle this now rather than ignore it. It will only get worse.
Dear RedState Reader,
Did you know that within weeks of top Clinton donor Norman Hsu getting on the board of the New School, Hillary Clinton got a major earmark for the school? Did you know that the FBI is now investigating Mr. Hsu because of his Clinton donations?
What if I told you that Republican Senators willingly voted for the earmark, largely unaware that it was even in what they were voting on.
Now what if I told you that we could really shake things up and stop things like this from happening again? We have thousands of readers across the country and today I'm pleased to tell you that we now have a very cool way to get back in the fight.
Today we're flipping the switch on a RedState Action Email list. As events warrant in Washington or out in the fifty states, we'll send out emails asking you to help out by sending an email, making a phone call, or writing a letter.
Imagine being able to get a short summary of what action needs to be taken, a link to click that will call your phone then connect you to your Congressman, and detailed talking points to share with your member of Congress. An easy, painless process that together, with the thousands of other RedState readers, will have a real, measurable impact.
Because we don't want to spam you, we're going to make this opt-in. This email is just to let you know we're starting Action Emails. If you want to participate, please click here to opt-in.

RedState is excited to play a more active role in the political process. Through our new Action Emails, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to get involved. To get started, simply click here and stand by to help. In the meantime, go to www.redstate.com and participate in the ongoing conversation.
As a bonus to signing up for our Action Emails, we'll help you out a bit. We know you don't have time to keep up with everything going on out there. So we'll send you a simple email once a week detailing the one or two stories that the media isn't reporting. We'll link to other blogs talking about the story, provide solid background, and make sure you stay in the know, even when you can't surf the web.
All the best,
Erick Erickson
