We are all amazed, shocked, and downright GIDDY over the Palin VP selection.
It is actually a bombastic and riveting topic-- based not just on the national media's frenzy over McCain's pick-- but also by the OVERWHELMING deluge of diaries here on her.
Everyone on KOS wants to express outrage, curiosity, celebration of Obama's already-won election based on McCain's VP pick.
But notice how a historic, tear-inducing, powerful, earth-moving speech that had even Fox News and Buchanan in full reverence of the power of OBama-- is now COMPLETELY OFF THE RADAR SCREEN.
DAMN KARL ROVE IS FUCKING GOOD AT CHANGING THE NATIONAL NARRATIVES.
Well, maybe it wasn't Karl Rove's doing, but the strategy has been a slam-dunk success. The MSM could have easily spent this entire week replaying Obama's speech, dissecting it, debating it. The country would have had a full week or more to be exposed to this man's brilliance and powerful presence.
But it's gone.
So let's all keep talking about Palin.
PALIN 24/7 contiuously for 1-2 more weeks.
Let's bring up every little gossip and rumor about her to try to assasinate her character. And while in every YouTube video of her seems like she's a decent, "normal" person who has conservative policy positions that many of us disagree with-- let's take the high road and fling any kind of mud we can at her anyways......just to prove that as the PARTY OF OBama, we are all about dirty and destructive politics. You know because that's what Obama has been talking about during his campaign.
I'M SURE THAT OBAMA IS GREATFUL THAT SOME OF US ARE THROWING ANY MUD AT PALIN WE CAN DIG UP.
I'M SURE THAT IF ANY OF THIS MUD PROVES TO BE UNTRUE, THE MSM WOULDN'T POINT AT THE BLOGS AND DKSO AS PLACES OF IRRESPONSIBLE, HATEFUL, FRINGE-LUNATIC GATHERINGS THAT LUFFA OREILLY HAD SUGGESTED. I'M SURE THEY'D RESPECT OUR DESIRE TO JUST BE GOOD CITIZEN JOURNALISTS BRINGING ALL RUMORS TO THE LEVEL OF DIALOGUE FOR THE GOOD OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
*******SNARK COMPLETED**********
Let's not take our eye off the ball guys and girls. The oldest rule in the book on fighting is: NEVER Underestimate Your Enemy.
This election is historically important not just in its transcendent nature (a man of color reaching so high for the first time), but also in it's sobering, "last best hope" decision to save our Nation from irreversible destruction.
American still claims they don't know Obama. We need to take back the narratives this week. Don't join the MSM feeding frenzy over Palin. Everything that needs to be said about her has been said and will continue to be debated incessantly for the next full week and more.
We as the Party of Obama, need to refocus our conversations on Obama and BIden. And away from the paparazzi drama of the Palin pick.
And in my desire to avoid been chastised for expressing an opinion-- feel free to keep talking Palin 24/7 as you desire.
