the Left needs a Limbaugh equivalent. And the best part is he and/or she just has to tell the truth and NEVER BACK DOWN!!
What happened to Kathy Griffin is an excellent example of what not to do. She cut the head off a representation of TFG and instead of doubling down, she accepted her new notoriety and vanished for a while. TFG is a Hitlerian danger
yes
we should use that appellation continuously and should have all along. These RW assholes call us commies and socialists and compare our people to those in Nazi Germany. And we just sit back and cluck-cluck and pout. Two can play that game and we can do it better if we try because we have MUCH MORE MATERIAL TO WORK WITH.
We need a really glib, reasonably attractive, not Ivy-educated, funny, aware, Carlin-esque individual who is fearless. To fund this all we need is just one progressive billionaire. And when the individual is attacked,(s)he doubles down and says Yeah. Youve got Murdoch and weve got so and so, so kiss my petunia.
Now I know youre gonna say that we shouldnt lower ourselves..etc. I say. Bullshit. Ill plumb the deepest depths COMPETENTLY in order to win. Now I also know youre gonna say that we dont have anybody but thats untrue. Hell, I could do this except I went to an Ivy
so I do t qualify for my own rules. But you know what else? There are no rules. We gotta kick em in the balls. (If you dont get the allusion see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. ). I say: go for broke: we are one election away from Nazism. This is no bullshit, and this is not a drill. Repeat: this is not a drill.
