In recent days the Media has focused non-stop ( under instructions from Sean Hannity and the RNC) on Bill Ayers & Obama yet McCain and Palin have their own dodgy associations.
Thousands of Republican supporters have been Emailing the Mainstream Media.
It is up to us here and the Daily KOS to respond in kind & lead the fightback....
There has been a co-ordinated effort by thousands of Republican supporters to mass email the media over the last few weeks. Most of this has been done quietly and has been under the radar.
However - we see the results of this campaign everyday. The most striking example of the success of GOP's media strategy has been the way in which nearly all of the Mainstream Media gave Sarah Palin's poor performance in the VP debate the thumbs up. Focus groups suggested that Biden had won easily and that people were put off by Palin's refusal to answer the questions. However the media's reaction was pro-Palin and gave her great reviews despite her lack of any basic knowledge underneath, her absence of any relevant experience, her fathomless ignorance and the pathological lying that have dogged her candidacy so far.
America is in Financial, Social and Moral Meltdown and what does the Media do ? They refuse to scrutinize Sarah Palin, broadcast McCain's smears and permit themselves to be manipulated by the Republicans yet again.
ENOUGH ! We here at the DAILY KOS must lead the Fightback and start contacting the media ourselves. The election is only 3 weeks away and we cannot let the GOP to steal another election ( the mainstream media let Rove & his cronies Swiftboat John Kerry in 2004).
Now that the GOP is forcing the Mainstream Media to bring up Ayers, Wright, Rezko etc. We must petition the media to bring up the dodgy associations of McCain and Palin. Here's a brief list :
1.) Palin's husband's membership as a SECESSIONIST in the ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY from 1995-2002, it's founder, Joe Vogler and his Iranian Associations. In 2008, Governor Sarah Palin addressed the Alaska Independence Party convention.
2.) John McCain Voted To Protect Domestic Terrorists Who Carry Out Violence at Abortion Clinics.
3.) McCain has pastor problems of his own - John Hagee and Rod Parsley.
4.) Sarah Palin's " radical preacher" - Thomas Muthee Thomas Muthee and witchcraft http://www.youtube.com/...
5.) Americans need to ask themselves if they remember G. Gordon Liddy, who spent 5 years in the federal pen for all kinds of crimes against America. He's one of McCain's closest friends. What about Scooter Libby - does McCain support a pardon for this guy ? Charles Keating and McCain were best buddies for a long time. McCain was palling around with John Singlaub a major player in the Iran-Contra scandal when McCain was a grown man. John McCain sat on the board of the World Anti Communist League, a racist nazi radical organization he was a grown man.
Here' a list of some Media contacts ( and some great liberal sites & journalists).
BE RESPECTFUL AND POLITE WHEN YOU CONTACT THEM. Pass this contact list on and lets fight back for Obama & the Truth against Fox News and Talk Radio. ONLY 3 WEEKS TO GO !!!
