REMEMBER THAT, pass that along, make it a Meme, a sound bite, install that into your blog, repeat it a thousand times until it hits the media, because it's never been more important, and never been more true..

FRIST the COWARD is leading the pack of COWARDS who never stood up for their country, including Bush and Cheney of course.

Spread the word. Don't let this sound bite get installed in those folks around the water cooler at work we at Takebackthemedia.com call "repeater stations", who don't have actual conversations, all they do is say what they are TOLD to each other and employ no critical thought.. well, if they are going to be that way, then LET'S USE IT OURSELVES.

For GOOD. :)

2. Lol Yeah I've done a bit
the other one the Dems need to use is, "We took donations from Tribes, not BRIBES like the Republicans.."

It's so simple if you think about it, rinse and repeat :)

8. Amen, Brother Symbolman!
That's Rove for you... take the strengths of your political opponents and attack those strengths directly.

It worked like a charm in '04 against Kerry... will it work again?

10. Hell, I PERSONALLY GAVE
Theresa the ARMY OF ONE commercial we'd made for MoveOn's "Bush in 30 Seconds" where we were one of 14 finalists, went to NYC and then New Hampshire - met with Kerry and wife, she invited is to attend a Carol King concert but we were all sick..

Later at the Primary she cut right through a crowd to me and I told her she/Kerry could have for FREE the ARMY OF ONE commercial, already vetted and playing 3000 times on cable during the primary..

I believe if they'd used that commercial that it would have cut the Swiftboating in half like Butter..

No one listens to me :)

I could play cards with Rove, he don't scare me, he's a one trick pony.. Dems, at least Progressives like us have Thousands of great ideas, but we are the untapped potential, if they wised up we could make Repigs fold up like lawn chairs, just like I did to Joe Scarborough on MSNBC - the first time he threatened to turn off my microphone, lol!

Pass the word, RAN AND HID!!!

11. I loved that ad/entry
"Is this what they mean by Army of One?"

Wasn't that the tagline, or something close to it? Excellent.

12. Yep
I said at the end where there's a coffin with a flag on it, "If WE can Support the Troops, Why can't BUSH? Or is THIS what they mean by Army of One?"

Also went to the Enlistment center in Times Square where they had a giant 40 foot screen showing kids how they could have FUN fighting the war, basically Skateboarding INTO Iraq - set up a coffin with a flag and a flower with a headstone that said ARMY OF ONE on it, and the enlistment guy had a little fit..

I told him he didn't own the subway grate at his own doorstep and refused to move.. that made for great footage, so old that the body count was 400 something troops dead then..

Passersby did react when I said, "These troops aren't dying for our freedoms, they're dying for RICH GUYS!" in front of the Big Screen..

The cops shut us down eventually, so we slow marched the coffin down Times Square, with people parting before us and some fathers saying to their sons, "That's all about that stupid Iraq war.."

Made me proud, I did that event with only my Drivers License in my pocket, sure I was going to be arrested :)

I'm an idiot.. but I care..

At least the troops aren't dying for a BJ, eh?

13. Cut and run from what? Major combat operations were completed
back in spring of 2003, it was official. The rest has been a pure colonial occupation.

14. I remember
there was a big big sign over the Fearless Leader's head on a big big boat.. some say he even FLEW the plane, but I find that doubtful because AP photos showed that he hit his head really hard that very morning on the Official Chopper after leaving the White House :)

This guy should be wearing a helmet all the time like a poor little retarded kid with a thin skull..

16. God I wish I had time..
When I do I will be going after these clowns with a Flash vengence up to the elections.. right now I'm working on a very mysterious environmental flash that I think many here will be pleased to see and hear about when done :)

Thanks for thinking of me going after these bastards tho, I'm flattered.. wish I had some help, cloning might be good, but I'd hate myself for sure then :)

17. That's a very good response
Edited on Thu Jun-22-06 02:53 AM by Tactical Progressive
It hits them right back with their own hypocrisy with the same cadence they spew it.

Media Dems, however, will be too afraid to use it. It sounds too accusatory and demeaning. That's not appropriate for Republicans. Fellow Democrats, maybe, but not Republicans. Plus, if they do, they'll find their cable bookings drying up.

They will feel more comfortable providing a well-reasoned, multi-level, 300-word rebuttal to the slogan.
Which even I won't want to listen to.
