Need help publicizing parody site that mocks GWB, Blackwell, Rove, Jeb...
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 07:30 AM by rosebud57
Swift Boat Liars etc, beyond the choir of people who already frequent lefty blogs and forums. I want to reach the huge demo of people who never read the NY Times or Washington Post.

In my opinion the majority of people who voted for Kerry, and the independents who may have voted for Bush but are having "buyers remorse" are mostly unaware of all the evidence that the 04 election was stolen, or won extremely unfairly via suppression and lieing campaign tricks. With Rove in the news and Bush tanking for both approval and veracity there is no better time than the present to spread a Daily Show type version of the Conyers report or a Greg Palast type article. Entertaining and mocking the enemy, while informing is why the Daily Show is so effective. Dean was right when he said we need a lot more people watching the Daily Show. This parody web site while mean spirited towards the GOP also is informative with links backing up the assertions. Done in the manner of VH1's Behind The Music it features a cast of thugs, liars, cheaters, media whores and idiots dishing the dirt on their role and the motivations behind their actions during Campaign 2004 and on election day.

Behind The Election: Bush Cheated '04

BushCheated04.com also has a Flash movie/music video of Beck's Loser with new parody lyrics "in the time of chimpanzees Bush was a monkey"

http://bushcheated04.com/loser.html

and lots of links beginning with a definition of fraud:

http://bushcheated04.com/links.html

Brainstormimg ideas welcomed.

I pledge to write www.BushCheated04.com on 20 one dollar bills and spend them. Other ideas might include:

Podcasts of the song Loser version 2.0 perhaps? Putting Loser Version 2.0 the Flash movie on file sharing networks? Visiting blogs and message boards and commenting about how funny it is.

Thom Hartman was right, we must mock the enemy. This is the fight of our lives. For election reform to happen we need a groundswell of support and we cannot wait for the MSM to report on the issues or for people to seek out the information on their own.

During my GOTV activities leading up to Nov. 2 I found likely democratic voters to be very open to profane, mocking imagery and verbage regarding the GOP. Hatred is a very powerful motivator that the right has tapped into.
