9. Typical Rovian bullshit!
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 12:03 PM by TwoSparkles
This is Rove's famous 3-pronged attack maneuver!

FIRST---attack your candidate's strengths. Hillary attacked Obama supporters and mocked
them with her "Awwww Lawwdey, they're a waiting for the light and the chorus of anggggels!"
clown act. Then, they gave Drudge the Obama photo.

SECOND, you wait for your opponent to respond. Obama did. He explained how the attacks
against him and his supporters and also the "Obama is a Muslim" memes happen in every
state.

THIRD (and most importantly!) put on your most indignant, outraged persona and repeatedly accuse
your opponent of being a whiner and of straying from the real issues and ignoring the plight of Americans.

Repeat this for 24 hours:
"Apparently (insert opponent's name) wants me to get down in the mud with him!!! I won't, I tell you! I care
too much about healthcare!! I love America, unlike (insert opponent's name) who is negative and paranoid and
unable to focus on the economy! America is at war for God's sakes and (insert opponent's name) doesn't
want to talk about the issues!! (Insert opponent's name) just wants to attack and distract!"
