Poll question: Do the Pubs have a school where they learn how to BS?
Ever notice Sean Hannity, OReally, etc etc all have the same story? Like there is a place or common source for their drivel....?

I just kinda wondered, its so blatant, makes one think Hmmmmmmm.

8. Whatever it is, its working... up until the threshold...of the present.
This is IT, no more BS. Not gonna work as they wish it would. Grantred some still will follow the BS cause they got their FACE involved... cannot lose face by admitting they backed up a loser so they hold fast to Bush and defend him.

The Media Whores are in it for the money.

In their realm, it pays to be a Pub Whore.

6. They are run by GOPAC
Edited on Tue Mar-23-04 03:08 PM by sangh0
Gingrich started a bunch of schools for conservative pundits/newcasters/journalists/etc

Seriously. You may have been just speculating, but it's absolutely true.

19. You are right. GOPAC still teaches them what to say.
And makes them memorize the list of words to use whenever referring to democrats.

7. They DO...it's called the Heritage Foundation.
And Free Congress Foundation.

Ralph Reed and Frank Luntz are two of the mentors. They teach them trigger words.

16. It's called ORGANIZATION. We don't have one.
The right-wing has been building up its media operations for decades now resulting in Fox News, Limbaugh, and all the rest.

The Democrats on the other hand have taken the media completely for granted.

17. I think they grow 'em in vats
somewhere on Scaife's property. How else do you explain all the robotic, overpainted, anorexic bottle-blondes with the pained smiles and incredibly fascistic worldview?

20. Would not suprise me
Would not suprise me if most of these folks have attended NLP training (Neuro Linquistic Programming) It is not necessarily what you say it is how you say it and how often.

22. American Enterprise Institute
We've got a branch office in Golden, CO. They're always showing up on local public television. They even pay for a couple of the shows on channel 12.

Pod people.

24. Well, its a 100% er... well think/voted for a common source.
Those Pubs are organized alright but look at the results, a canceresque one indeed. By the evidence, the Pubs are a Cancer on America and the World.

We need the Oncologist who knows something about group curing.

The mind is a funny thing to grow.
