Where is our rush, ann, and hannity?
where is our passion? Besides Sharpton, Dean and the CBC who is out there to go on the news shows to counteract the repubs with passion on Sunday mornings?

OK, maybe it would not be plausible for an elected official to do it, but why not groom our own anns, rush and hannity's will take the bullet for the party, while letting ppl know that we have not turned over and died?

1. We have passion, just not vitriol.

2. Randi and Malloy (and Garafalo, when not over-medicated)
have the passion + IQ points. They just need the EXPOSURE!

3. Eww, Hannity!
Rush, Ann, and Hannity? You mean over-the-top, blowhard, propagandist, GOP shills? No thanks!

I prefer our brand of INTELLIGENT talk and discussion like, as previously mentioned, Malloy and Garafalo (et al.). :)

I do agree, it would be nice if we could get some exposure on the Sunday morning news shows, but we'll take baby steps. First we conquer the radio waves then we take over the television media!

6. Passion=stupid? NOT
You can still be intelligent and have passion. I am so sick of us always being the ones to give,give,give and not getting anything in return.

10. Misunderstood.
Oops, I didn't mean to imply that there was no passion in what we did.. I should of been more clearer. I agree; you can be the most passionate person about a particular cause and still get your point across in an intelligent manner. That is what sets us apart from someone like Coulter (who does have passion, but just ends up spitting out some dumbfounded rhetoric).

7. What about mainstream media
I love Mike and Randi to DEAth, but the average American don't have a clue who they are. The only one on there who gets mainstream exposure is Al and maybe Janine, but let's be for real.

If you were in a fight against oreilly and rush, who would you want to have your back? Al? No, really who would you want? Randi could take both of those bastards with a hand tied behind her back and then Mike would finish them off for you. That's want we need on Sunday mornings!

5. we don`t need to be like them
we don`t need to lie and disrespect others. we don`t need to treat the listeners as children who should do what we say-we don`t want "ditto heads" or hanatized zombies. they are plenty of interesting democrats out there but the the sponsors won`t back them. after all in their minds there are no democrats that buy their products and worse they cave if they sponsor any democratic show and the right wing starts bitch`n..

12. Let me clarify
No, we do not have to lie and disrespect others to make our point, but we should not back down from a fight either. The truth is on our side we just need a vibrate, passionate voice to take it to the masses and particularly the south.
It is sad to say but people respond to passion before they respond to the truth. Just like at this election. People voted on emotions and not logic.
Imagine how awesome the party could truly be if we could find a few people to passionately get out the truth instead of laying out numbers,and raising money.

9. I don't need demented liars. Truth tellers galore!
Wes Clark, Michael Moore, Randi, Malloy, Charlie Rangel, Greg Palast, Paul Krugman. I'll take intelligent sane spokesperson for $800 Alex!

11. They are here. Put me on. I'll do it.
Edited on Mon Nov-29-04 01:33 AM by norml
I've studied propaganda as much as I've studied anything. I know this stuff backwards and forwards. I call into the local AM radio and make a fairly good case for our side. I'm only on for a few seconds though while those right wing media whores you mention are on all day. I would like to do more. I'd like to do my own live call in show. If anyone wants to audition me for this sort of thing I would be glad to make a tape of some of my talk radio calls and send it to them.
