Let's post examples of Democrats on TV shows demanding Rep. Boehner apologize.

[Dr Fate]

Post examples of Democrats on TV attacking Rep. Boehner and demanding he apologize for his offensive comments he made today about the troops.

Surely we will have 4 or 5 times as many DEMS doing this as there were ones attacking Kerry.

Note: Web-only text and "releases" that no one but DEM donors will ever see does not count- I need TV appearances.

Also, feel free to post on this thread tomorrow too.

3. Screw the Kerry gaffe- THIS needs to be the new story. WAKE UP GDPers

This is huge over in GD- why not here in GDP?

5. I'll check on this every hour or so. Let's see if the DEMS are serious...

...about fighting back.

I'll predict that they wont do anything with it- I hope to be wrong.

6. I hope you're wrong, but, as far as I know, there are only a few press releases

from Dean and a couple other people.

And nothing concerning Bush saying that Rummy was great!

[Dr Fate]

7. And they know as well as you and I do that press releases dont work.

So that tells me they are not serious about fighting back.

[Dr Fate]

8. Kick. Still nothing except web only (AKA for netroots donors eyes only) attacks.

I guess we are going to give the Republicans a free pass just like they did on Foley and everything else.

I'm counting on Dean's 50 State strategy at this point- fighting wise and media wise, Democrats are doing nothing different than they did in they last 3 election cycles we lost.

Why is it that DEMS with TV access are tough on Boener on the web but not on TV where every one will see it?

11. Thank Senator REID for such ineffective strategies

So long as the beltway dems are led by a republican, yes a republican (aka DINO), they won't (with a few notable exceptions) attack repukes.

[Dr Fate]

12. I wont call Reid a Repub- but his "web only" attacks do nothing.

And he knows it- or should know it.

We all know that "press conferences" and "releases" are ignored by the media. When is he going to learn this?

The only way to gurantee airtime is to go on the cable shows and insert the talking point intot he echo chamber yourself- you cant wait around for Republican owned networks to cover your "releases" and web-text.

The fact that no DEMS did so and only put out "web only" attacks shows us that they were too frightened to go after this scandal in a meaningful way- as usual.

[gulfcoastliberal]

14. Well, when we have self-professed Goldwater Republicans as"democrats"

I can see why we don't blow the repubes out of the water - which could be easily done despite media oligarchy. We ae being undermined from within, double agents, 5th column - whatever adjective you like.

15. K&R

Boner needs to apologize to the troops for a very intended statement re the Iraqi effort.

He is going to lose his place in the Sun....

Oh Oh, sorry, too late for the R
