I opened my email today and was shocked. Shocked to find an email from Karl Rove of all people. And what was he doing emailing a lifelong democrat in the libertarian mold? A person who finds everything everything he stands for repulsive, immoral and unchristian?
He was Thanking me of all things!.
Transcript follows.
Kind Sir,
I'd like to extend my sincerest thanks to you and the other people you fraternise with on the DailyKos site.
You see i was worried. I was pretty sure we had lost the election but let us just say some contingency plans came through. And then i got really worried. I mean, we won. Who'd have thunk it. Now George is going to want to actually do all those things he's been talking about! Not that i mind but i plan on having a career and boy oh BOY when voters get a load of this we're in trouble!
But i went to Dailykos and what do i see? Diatribe after Diatribe informing me what evil uneducated people most of the country is! Why people went state by state laying out how lazy and stupid and ignorant the people of that state are! The South! The Midwest! The Rust belt!! I have to hand it to you folks you've done a masterful job of building a "democratic" front organisation we could use to discredit liberals. WOW.
And then i realised how many people visit that site! People from the south, from the midwest. From Florida, from Ohio, from states just overflowing with electoral votes and congressional offices! I thought i was in heaven! Why can you imagine. If half a million people see that site, and half of them are from those states.. that's half the democratic party you've alienated! I mean could i ask for more?
I will admit i was dubious atfirst. But the people there kept it up! Diary after diary shouting that red staters were ignorant welfare cheating rednecks! Just imagine for a second. If a hundred thousand people see that site a day, and half are southerners (and all democrats what a bonus!) thats 50,000 people a day you've sent our way. MASTERFUL i tell you! I'm not one easily awed but i couldnt have thought that one up myself. And imagine you just alienate 1% of that 50,000! Thats 500 votes a day. Thats handing us a florida each and every day of the week!
In closing i just want to thank you and the people you have working for you. We'll get at least one ad for every congressional district out of this. And it will be a bonanza in labelling the dems. So thank your workers for me and keep it up!
Your friend,
Karl Rove
Cheney/Scalia 2008!
(sarcasm folks but think about it)
