Your vote: a "Rush Limbaugh/Hannity Said" board
Would the moderators agree to create a separate place for posting right wing radio talking points?

How about a poll/vote?

1. A "right-wingers said this" forum
Sounds great, but I would also include other right-wing hosts like O'Riley, Dr. Laura, and Savage... hell, why not make it the right-wingers are saying this forum.

2. That is a great idea. It could help lots of DUers decide
to not watch/listen to this stuff thereby lowering stress levels and conserving energy.

Seriously, that type of board would be a great resource.

5. Great idea. I miss most of
it since I spend three-quarters of my life in a cube behind a firewall. It'd be great if I can find all the jokes in one place.

3. Good idea
IF it gets most of those "Rush said" posts off the other forums.

4. Let's Amplify The Echo Chamber...And Ad Watch!!
The games already in full swing...first a rumor is released via Rush or Hannity or Faux or Drudge or Washington Times then picked up by all the others then turned into a "media event". It's almost methodical how this regime does it.

I think it'd be great to have a place somewhere we DU'ers can trace the rumor mill game and expose it as it happens. This is one of the right wing's most consistant and time-worn methods of attack...and time we fight back.

Also, here's suggesting a "sticky" or some seperate post which lists advertisers on these shows...locally and nationally...so those of us who vote with our wallets know whose pumping the wattage into Clear Channel and other Repugnican coffers.

Cheers!

7. Definitely...

Kinda like a "Latest Breaking Right-Wing Bullshit" forum...

It pays to know what the enemy is spreading around, plus I have noted that many DUers don't appreciate right-wing talking points being posted in LBN or GD.

I say go for it!

10. Any more votes?
Anyone with power want to take a poll?

My vote is yes, by the way.

11. Actually, I think that a "RW E-mail Debunking Board" would be
very helpful around here.

That sure would cut down the "Help me debunk this e-mail from a Repuke friend" posts.

Sorry, I don't have the time to moderate a board.

12. Yes, Helpful indeed
But, some unfortunate would have to spend time monitoring the wingnut media, and that's surely a punishment?

16. I'd just like a dialy link to the GOP talking points of the day
It could be here or anywhere. Maybe just a daily summary somewhere in a forum with a pushpin. Or on the DU Home page. Okay - I asmit it, I'm a night owly and I sleep till 9 a.m. But it would be helpful to find them in a list every day.
