Help me compile: top ten articles to give your Republican friends.

[iconoclastNYC]

I'm going to build a web page with links to the top ten articles to provide to Republican friends.

Topics could be : Hypocrisy, Questionable elements of the Republican coalition, Articles that expose right wing lies.

I want to build this up as a resource for all of us who are working on long term projects to get our friends and family to leave the dark side and become either non-voters, independent, or Democrats.

So please post URLs for books or articles that would help this mission.

Thanks.

The Scanlon Memo!:

Consider one memo highlighted in a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday that Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Tx., sent the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana to describe his strategy for protecting the tribe's gambling business. In plain terms, Scanlon confessed the source code of recent Republican electoral victories: target religious conservatives, distract everyone else, and then railroad through complex initiatives.


"The wackos get their information through the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees," Scanlon wrote in the memo, which was read into the public record at a hearing of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. "Simply put, we want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them."

7. I think I'll call my site : "Republican Intervention Library"

Or something along those lines. Kinda in the vein of Randi Rhodes : "Republican Rehab" comedy bits.

It does seem that finding factual data about how evil republicans are is like shooting fish in a barrel. God bless em!
