We know that McCain/Palin are simply lying to get into office. We know this because Hunter has documented it. However, what he has really documented is GOP is into the definition of a "bigger truth". This is discourse definition and defining McCain/Palin as insurgents and rebels appeals to many people who feel as if they have little in the first place and want to rebel. It's called the politics of resentment and it works well, especially when you couple it with racism and accuse your opponents as sexist and unpatriotic as a form of inoculation.
Now, some people feel that the only way to do this is to lie. Many of those people are involved in McCain/Palin. There is also another way: call people out on what they are doing and who they are. In this case you just have to say, "You are a liar, sir/madame" and continue to repeat it when applicable. A lot of those people who identify with "rebels" and "insurgents" also hate liars and being lied to.
So, what to do?
Well, here's and ad idea...
BOILERPLATE IMAGE OF OBAMA.
I am Barack Obama and I approved this message.
OPENING SHOT - MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE STANDING TOGETHER AS THE
NARRATOR SPEAKS. SHOT CLOSES IN ON MCCAIN AND PALIN AS THEY FADE FROM COLOR AND INTO BLACK IN WHITE
You probably heard that McCain is accusing Obama that he composed legislation that forces kindergartners to learn about sex.
THE SOUND OF A SCREECHING HALT COMES, IMAGE OF MCCAIN/PALIN SHOVED FROM IMAGE OF "LIE" IN BIG WHITE LETTERS ON A BLACK SCREEN
Surprise. It’s a lie. And a whopper at that.
"LIE" IMAGE CRUMBLES, SOMBER MUSIC, BRASS DRIVEN MUSIC A VARIETY OF SHOTS OF IRAQ, FORECLOSED HOMES, HEADLINES OF JOB LOSSES,
That shouldn’t be too surprising. They don't want to talk about what's important so they lie. This from the party that has never given us the whole truth about Iraq and who continue to tell us economy is strong.
A SHOT OF MCCAIN WITH BUSH
And now they want us to believe that a ticket that has supported Bush throughout the last eight years has finally seen the light and are now the agents of change?
MUSIC BRIGHTENS, DISSOLVE TO A PICTURE OF PALIN WITH THE "NOWHERE ALASKA" T-SHIRT.
Well, if you believe that then they also have a "Bridge to Nowhere" they'd like to sell you.
END
For me, just writing this was cathartic enough. I just hope Obama/Biden get the drift. We expect you to attack and attack with the truth in order to define them as what they are. Flat out liars who think you are dumb enough to swallow their swill.
