Some of you people can write - what about writing up some op-eds and sending them in, along with the evidence? Does that work?

George Washington posted:Some of you people can write - what about writing up some op-eds and sending them in, along with the evidence? Does that work? Not usually, because media outlets don't want to tie themselves to someone else's original reporting. After contacting the sources, the best bet is to find ways to bring the material up again and again. What I'd do: free blogspot or wordpress account, individual entry for each post. Don't waste time on commentary. Just one screengrab and link per post. Tag each one by which group she's insulting or what crazy poo poo she's talking about. Make the final post (the first one visitors will see) include links to each tag, explain the context, etc. e.g. how crazy is this lady? see what she has to say about : hispanics gays and lesbians the poor president obama etc On its own, it provides something to get the net to link to and talk about. Put it up on Kos, crooksandliars, etc. But then re-send the link to the media outlets to work as jerry-rigged database to show them "hey, we've just made it a lot easier to do your job you lazy fucks"

Instead of sending the info to media outlets, what if the information was sent to the GOP in Illinois, to her primary rivals, or even to Michael Steele. Surely, if the GOP was serious about changing their image, they would not be endorsing such a candidate. This forces them to either condone or repudiate her now before even more embarrassing poo poo comes up.

If no one knows she's a crazy freeper bigot, the GOP surely won't make noise about it. I have the feeling that the next step is to contact organizations that represent groups she's slandered (primarily muslims and gays). I'll contact every gay rights group in the Fifth tomorrow.

Well, my spring break is coming up, so I'll try to do something revolutionary. I'll get in contact with the local GOP and let them know about this. Hopefully, I will get some kind of response. If the response is that they don't care/ignore it, it'll help add fuel to the fire if this story breaks out and they try to feign ignorance. Thanks to all those that are collecting all this information.

Secular Regressive posted:Not every republican has realized they need to moderate their platform to stay relevant yet Well, most of the republicans in areas where moderating their message would help are currently out of power. A lot of republicans currently in office are from pretty conservative places. Hopefully this leads to the party getting further to the right and going into a death spiral. This is already what a significant proportion of the grassroots is calling for. Strawman fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Mar 8, 2009 |

Ahhh this rules, but do we know to what extent the RINOS in the mainstream GOP are distancing themselves from her RE that NBC Chicago link? Like, has there been any sort of pronounced-however minor-opposition to her or is this just the ~Liberal Media~ going out on a limb here? I mean, even if not politically significant, really anything that fans the flames or widens the chasm between the Freeper-Limbaugh types and the GOP is at the very least amusing as all gently caress.

B. HUSSEIN OBAMA posted:how many republicans has obliviousness to the internet taken out in the past few months? there was that guy with twitter, then mccain i guess, now here, the teamsarah guy, jindal maybe, anybody else? The most notable examples in the last couple of years would be George Allen (he didn't really post anything, but didn't figure out that his boorish redneckery would be a huge hit on YouTube and lead to a narrow defeat, else he would likely have been the GOP nominee instead of McCain and possibly president) and Mark Foley, the Congressman who was instant messaging the underage congressional page boys ("you mean they can keep a log of these? Who knew?") and had to leave his seat when word got out. Yeah she comes across like the ethnic minority who probably has only white friends and is filled with racial self loathing. It could be an act to fit in with the freeper types, but it's probable she feels it inside too.
