I believe the time has come to fight fire with fire.
As unseemly as it may appear, I think the time has come to go off on the radical right a la Limbaugh, Hannity, Evil Bitc --er, Ann Coulter.
Screw the ethics, yadda yadda yaddda.
These clowns are so dense, all that they understand is "yell as loud as I can, and I win !".
Come on, DUers, who's with me on this one ?

1. Get Cheney
He needs exposure. Plenty of it. Let the American people see this bastard for who and what he is and what he has done.

3. Not at all.
We aren't the ones burning up.

Not that I'm likely to direct a hose their way either.

What Gore did was good. Kerry's going great. He looks sane. Sane is going to feel sooooooooooooo good in November.

6. Sanity will only partially return...
...in November. There are still a whole lotta Konservative Kard Karriers to remove from Congress.

Full frontal attack on ALL radical right activist Senators, Reps, and anyone from the Konservative Khristian Koalition.

Any means necessary.

4. The time has come long since -
the Dems should have started fighting dirty years ago, during the Clinton years. These right wing fukkin` Nazi assholes trashed Clinton for 8 long years, and they have the fucking audacity to tell us now that we`re unpatriotic if we criticize Shrub. Fuck Bush, fuk the Repukes - impeach `em all for murder and treason- the Bushies were behind 9/11 all the way, Osama been Forgotten, my ass.

9. I have been coming to DU for a few months and
have appreciated the education. What I really love about this is nobody comes on and makes irrational and unsubstantiated claims. Everything I read comes with a verifiable source. Does anybody believe you can fight fire with fire when the one group has no compunction about outright lying? The only way you can compete is to constantly call them on the lies.

10. Countering lies with honest into and screaming with sanity seems
to be working rather well. If you want to go around yelling and deceiving "for the greater good," well, it might gratify some personal needs, but it serves no humane goal.

11. The Right Wingers Where I Work...
...don't even spew their s**t if I am even remotely near. They know that I'll put them in their place. My 2 favorite interactions were...

1. When I shut one up with the truth, I looked into his dumb-struck face(it didn't take much to get him into that condition) and said "Look, you're nor rush, I'm not a ditto-head. When you spread his nonsense to somebody who knows how to think, you're going to get your head handed to you!" As usual, no response.

2. (Please don't flame me, cat lovers, this isn't directed at you) When one of them tried to pull the old as dirt "family values" line on me, I asked him why he was assuming to lecture me on family when I had a picture of my wife & son on my desk and he had a picture of his 2 cats on his!

The stupidest thing I've heard one say this week was when a car with a Kerry bumper sticker went through a stop sign in front of our building, one idiot (catman) said that that was a sign of Democratic hypocracy. I pointed out to him that this made the man a lousy driver, not the chairman of the DNC. I also asked how many people got killed in the war that the lousy driver started. As usual, no response.

As I said in my profile, I LOVE to piss off right wingers!
