I'm not a good researcher but I have an idea for those who are

[Snotcicles]

We should split into groups. Each group focus on just a few right wing repubs and dig as deep into there lifes as we can. Within the groups facts can be confirmed then be presented for discussion to the whole of DU. The groups will be by nature competing with each other, thats why facts need accurate conformation. There is nothing more trobulesome to a republican then there past being exposed. We could regularly post our Wing Ding of the month for the DNC to run with. This could be great fun taking them down one by one, now I see why it's so popular with the repubs.

1. Not a bad idea....

First start with the states that are more purple, or with someone we already know has skeletons like Dryer. Or who we see as a future threat like Sentorum. Instead of breaking into groups, just do all out intensive digs on one person at a time...

3. There is tons of negative material about Bill O'Reilly in

the legal complaint against him at:

I've written four articles based on it at my blog:
http://www.moveleft.com/moveleft_essay_2005_02_12_lust_bill_oreilly_and_judgments_made_about_personal_behavior.asp

But Bill O'Reilly remains the #1 cable news host.

The negative material about him doesn't seem to be having an effect.

5. I was thinking of chipping away at politicians.

We can start with those who are up for relection in 2006.

7. Politicians are good, but I think if researchers could expose

all the journalists and media news organization that are or have received taxpayers money for propaganda pieces, it could go a long way in discrediting the politicians and the White House for the crooks that they are.

8. You are also right about this too

if we can connect the dots between journalists and pundits to the pols.


And until the corporate media is straighten out, any other research will be moot. I found allot of negative stuff on Santorum that other sites have already put together, but until the media is with us or at least reporting as they should, the websites is where it's going to stay...

6. I don't know if Al Franken has a website, but he has picked

Bill O'Reilly's lies apart word by word on his radio show exposing him for the hack that he is.
