I just read the post
Yearly Kos Attacked.... In this post Nik Jam tells us about the nut cases at Fox making up stuff like
Zarqawi was caught the day their convention opens. This is -- the left is demoralized by this.
I'm confused, when did we get demoralized?
I have to wonder, do they sit in a room all day thinking up this crap? And who writes this shit?
I say,
Let's fight Liar with Liar.
More below the fold...
I know I can lie with the best of them and I am sure you can too. So let us invent a few talking points that we attribute to the right that might actually work against the right.
I think the trick is to write these statement with just enough truth to be tantalizing to the unsophisticated mind (you know, the target Fox News Viewer). Make up anything you like, but it must have a thread of believability. Of course, the claims must be damning when interpreted by an uneducated mind. That means they must be understandable by the uneducated mind.
For example, "Recent studies show that right wing nut cases are closet thumb suckers." types of lies will not play well with the poorly educated. The likely response would be, "what do those scientist know?" No, we must build the lies around ideas the uneducated THINK they know something about. Once you find a subject then appeal to base emotions most likely to evoke anger like fear, greed, or hate.
As you write the lie, remember it should be un-provable and un-testable. Also, do not directly attribute the quote to anybody, as Ed Rollins did in the interview cited above:
"Ed Rollins: Well, they'll claim it's a conspiracy theory"
They "WILL CLAIM" is not the same as they "HAVE CLAIMED" but it has the same effect on the uneducated mind.
Below, I have written a few but I know there are many far more creative people in the DKos world than I, so have at it...
WARNING: At least one of my suggestions is potentially quite explosive...
-----
Since we all buy gas, we THINK we know something about oil companies,
It makes sense that Oil companies are supplying the Iraqi insurgents with explosives and money to wage the insurgency. This will keep the American troops in Iraq long enough for the oil companies to gain control of Iraq's oil fields.
Perhaps this addition is a bit too much:
And they are probably paying for it the explosives by raising gas prices to record highs.
The republicans knew that New Orleans had serious infrastructure problems:
Republicans had considered holding their 2004 national convention in New Orleans. They changed the venue to New York because they were afraid of a major hurricane disrupting the event.
Election fraud:
The president of Voting Machine maker Diebold, Walden O'Dell promised to deliver votes to Bush.
Oh wait, that one is true.
How about Beer? Everyone knows something about beer.
The ATF, under the direction of GWB will probably order all beer companies to reduce the alcohol content in beer to 2.5%. This is the first step to prohibition of alcohol.
That should stir a few right wingers.
For the "God fearing" among them. They all know something about their god perhaps an Abortion reference will fan the flames:
I bet that Pat Robertson said abortion should be legal for all non-Christians because, "We don't want more non-Christians in America."
Actually, this would be like throwing TNT into the fire...
Your turn...
