Listen DUers the official GOP talking point from here on

[malaise]

is Obama will talk with terrorists. Diplomacy now means appeasement.
All the hacks are spreading the talking point since yesterday.

That Bush comment in Israel was the launching of the campaign attack.

It won't work this time.

"the latest Bush Administration talking point is an attempt to equate appeasement (making concessions to enemies) -- with the willingness to meet and confer (i.e., talking to enemies)".

Mash down these lies.

[fascisthunter]

1. Oh... don't forget

Iran must be nuked and Venezuela is aiding terrorists.

[davidwparker]

2. He needs to quote the Bible back to them. It work for Jesus when he had

to deal with Satan and demons. Republicans and demons. Same thing.

If I weren't going out to dinner now, I'd put up some passages. Loving your enemies comes to mind at the moment.

Quote scripture and ask them why they think Jesus was wrong and why don't they love Jesus.

That will shut them up. Same as it did the demons.

3. How he should handle the Hamas endorsement

Obama should just say "The reason they endorse me is because they fear me. They want Mclaim to win because the world would never unite behind another bushie idiot."

[malaise]

5. Be assured they will try to find a way

It won't work. It is over. They have no way back unless they want to commit more crimes and this time they will be locked up.

The majority have had enough of the lies, the violation of the constitution, the criminality, the war crimes and Bush and Cheney. Even the Washington Post poll now has lame fuck at 31%

It won't be long before we hear the majority of America join Keith and tell all Rethugs
SHUT THE HELL UP!!

4. The GOP's favorite is: "Liberals have no solutions!"

Which works along with two other favorites: moving the goal posts and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_fear#Fear.2C_uncertainty_and_doubt">fear uncertainty and doubt.

[malaise]

16. All the senior hacks are out since Bush's speech

Here's Brad Blakeman on Abrams. He looks oh so angry. Boo Hoo!

[ColbertWatcher]

17. They're not out. They're all hiding at AEI or Heritage. n/t

[malaise]

18. Out on TV

:hi:

[ColbertWatcher]

19. Ah, I see. Excuse me, my mistake. n/t

[LSK]

6. Chris Mathews did a pretty masterful job of destroying their talking point

[malaise]

9. That didn't stop them bringing out Cliff May

Rich Loewry and the rest of the usual suspects. It won't work this time.

[underpants]

7. Manchurian Candidate

There will be many "questions" about Obama

This also siezes on any "questions" (that they started actually) about McCain and his years at the Hanoi Hilton

[Ilsa]

8. What concerns me is that McCain needs

another terror attack to save us! McSame will succeed where Bush* failed!

[malaise]

10. They won't get away with it n/t

[EFerrari]

11. I can ring up an essay on the dif between diplomacy and appeasement.

If they go for this, as many of us as possible should go for it.

[Perry Logan]

12. The Republican bag of tricks is fairly small.

[countryjake]

13. And each one of those "hacks" (too good a word, in my view)...

(no, warmongers, would be the correct term), made sure to include as many "enemies" as possible, echoing the prez's "Axis of Evil" claims from the beginning of the occupations...Iran and Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas, even sticking Venezuela and Cuba on there at the end, for good measure.

They begin the code words for "danger" and roll out the only thing they've got left in their bag of tricks...fear.

Don't know how anyone can listen to that James character! I can't stand Chris Matthews and the two screeching together was more than I could take, but all the channels made sure to have some puke pundit on, laying out why fighting and killing is a better tack than diplomacy and talking. And defining the "enemy"!

[malaise]

15. Rachel and Tweety discussing this now n/t

[KamaAina]

14. As opposed to repukes, who only sell stuff to terrorists

It's just another Halliburton oil and gas operation. The company name is emblazoned everywhere: On trucks, equipment, large storage silos and workers' uniforms.

But this isn't Texas. It's Iran. U.S. companies aren't supposed to do business here....

"I am baffled that any American company would want to have employees operating in Iran," says Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. "I would think they'd be ashamed."...

Still, Halliburton stands out because its operations in Iran are now under a federal criminal investigation. Government sources say the focus is on whether the company set out to illegally evade the sanctions imposed ten years ago.
