OK, I'm sick of playing nice
I posted this as a reply from another topic and it was suggested that it be it's own thread.

Everyone should e-mail MSM with three words WHORE FOR BUSH. eom

1. There's nothing "mainstream" about the media. Call them what they are.
Corporate media whores.

2. I am too,
my friend. But I've found that when trying to sink to the average conservative's level with simple easy to read messages, you need to be VERY clear. Several months ago, I cancelled my subsription to my hometown paper by scrawling CONSERVATIVE BIAS across the the last bill I paid, and checking "cancel". Later, when they called me, the idiot on the phone thought I was accusing them of bias toward conservatives. Of course, I had previously written several page letters to the editor outlining my objections in detail. Only one was published. For this reason, I suggest that we e-mail "YOU are a whore for Bush". They will misunderstand if at all possible.

6. Dem Politicians also have to stop "playing nice"....
They need to start getting pissed off at interviews and calling out Repuke bullshit.

I'm constantly screaming at the TV just wishing I was there to answer their stupid questions and to smack down the Repuke liars.

14. You still need to communicate
the message, not just your stomach feeling.

I understand how you feel, but this idea is not dangerous to anyone IMO.

Write them sincerely how they broke your heart if you want to hurt them, what ideals you used to held them up too. Tell them about the journalist flicks you like, and so on. If you want to get dirty you should launch as personal attacks as possible, targeting the journalist myths they pretend to live. Focus on one or two pieces of proof or argument that you would want them to answer too.

This works better together with other strategies like flooding the best pieces of proof on them, IMO the new mexico and ohio election results breakdowns with voting equipment, as well as the suppression videos.

Like, demand one of them will watch this 10 minute video and then explain you how this isn´t really news, or you will cancel. Instead of the angry oneliners.

They are mostly human, make this play to our advantage.
