It has begun

[CatWoman]

Just watched Hardball. The GOP spokesman referred to Kerry's supporters as "wild eyed".

It will be repeated tonight on O'Reilly, then on Hannity and Colmes.

That will take us to tomorrow morning. Neal Boortz will lend his support. Then Rush. Then Hannity.

Bunch of fucking idiots.

[FarLeftRage]

1. Yep.

Just saw that video on herr bushler's web site and the meme started there.

[symbolman]

58. I thought that was a Take Back the Media

flash movie!!

Seriously..

Here's the oldie that started it all --

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html

"Bush is Not a Nazi, so Stop saying that.."

thanks for the bump for the Democrats you idiots! JUst like Reagan when their fall came, it was because they started to actually BELIEVE their own bullshit, to the point where to normal people it sounded like they were really stupid mean guys, speaking GREEK..

they start to make no sense and that's when we WIN.

[FarLeftRage]

62. Actually Sir,

You are correct.

I remember seeing that flash movie when you first put it out.

I guess the filthy re-piggies made a very cheap copy of it.

they can't do anything right...

[lovedems]

2. I saw that SOB with all of his smugness.

Bunch of fucking idiots somehow seems to kind.

[CatWoman]

6. I'm pissed cause the Dem let that rat bastard get away with it!!

[lovedems]

22. Why do they seem to scared to embrace Gore, Moore, et. al?

WTF is wrong with them?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

3. it's the new talking points

the gop can't run on their record, so now they're resorting to personal and stylistic attacks

kind of shoots their plan in the foot when ol'dick shoots off at leahy on the senate floor, though, doesn't it?

we can't let that story die. it's the perfect counter to this line of attack

[Vickers]

4. Name-calling? What a bunch of pussies.

As usual, no offense intended to cats.

:P

Call me wild-eyed, baby, 'cause I'm on a crusade, a crusade to restore intelligence and dignity and morals to the White House, you dumb fuckstick!

[Skittles]

5. WILD-EYED SKITTLES REPORTING HERE

Howdy Midori! :hi:

[CatWoman]

9. Hey Susan!!!!

:hi:

[mopaul]

7. are you a wild eyed woman?

[pinto]

8. I don't think this one's going to stick. Just my take....n/t

[lancdem]

13. Neither do I

Strikes me as pretty lame and desperate.

[sendero]

20. Same here...

.... this and the "Nazi" ad are indications of extreme desparation. They are going to throw anything and everything at the wall and see if it sticks.

The farther out they go, the more people see their bullshit for what it is, see the media as their tools, and their support erodes further.

Isn't it delicious :)

[skooooo]

44. Does seem a little lame and childish...

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Actually I'm kind of cross eyed from pain meds...but okay, I'll go

with it. :hi:

[newsguyatl]

11. good on you for catching this

they're getting more and more desperate... it's good we're catching them on their talking points now more and more... that's what needs to happen.

catwoman, what showing of f-911 are you going to? i'm at phipps tomorrow at the 7:40 showing.

[CatWoman]

14. I'm going to the

Regal Hollywood Stadium 24 @ North I-85. It's about five minutes from my job.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

12. Wild-Eyed Scheisskopf here...

Just slingin' snot and spit everywhere. Danger to myself and others I yam. ;-)

[mopaul]

15. my eyes! my eyes! they're so so craaaaazzzzzzzyyyyyy

[Bluebear]

17. I don't vote for Presidents who lie! I am so wild-eyed!!!

[soup]

32. beat me to it.

Love Marty Feldman-


"I won't eat anything that has intelligent life, but I'd gladly eat a network executive or a politician."


Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?
Igor: And you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?

-----
better wild eyed than abby normal.

[CatWoman]

21. Remember Crazy Guggenheim, from Jackie Gleason??

[SoCalDem]

54. Guggenheim is Georgie's hero

more wild eyes:

[Richardo]

68. Hiya, Mr. Dunaheeee hee heee heeeeeeeeeeeeee

... :D


:hi: midori!

[DemoTex]

16. Wild-eyed DemoTex saying ...

They are painted into a corner. They are desperate. It will get worse. Verb sap!

[Slickriddles]

18. They are getting Worried

When they start with accusations of wild-eyed,
When they say Gore has gone off his meds, because he's outraged, it is a sign that the right is worried. They know that many people in these United States are rightously pissed off at them.
The red-baiting has already begun, charges of treason, Mike Moore is aiding the enemy etc. etc. All signs of desparation.

[carpediem]

19. Actually I like it - it sounds sort of

mysterious. Not bad actually. We are wild-eyed - we are passionate about our beliefs and our candidate. They are just bullies. I'd much rather be wild-eyed than a bully. Bullies are boring and predictable and mean.

[CatWoman]

24. Crazy

Crazy,
I'm crazy for feelin so lonely...
I'm crazy,
Crazy for feelin so blue...
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted,
And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new.
Worry,
Why do I let myself worry?
Wonderin,
What in the world did I do?
Oh...
Crazy,
For thinkin that my love could hold you...
I'm crazy for tryin,
And crazy for cryin,
And I'm crazy for lovin you...
Crazy,
For thinkin that my love could hold you...
I'm crazy for tryin,
And crazy for cryin,
And I'm crazy for lovin you...

why I'm lonely all the time.

[carpediem]

49. that is one of my favorite songs.

I love Patsy Cline.

[sendero]

57. A song from back when...

... country music wasn't all crap. Sigh. :)

[Wapsie B]

23. They've got to

protect a weak unelected president. The smokescreens are going to be thick this summer and fall.

[spanone]

25. 'Fucking Idiots' is way too kind.

Oooh my wild eyezzzzzzz!!!!

[Insider]

27. so cheney is "potty-mouthed bush supporter"

in all fairness... :shrug:

[heidiho]

28. The RW Talk Radio is painting Libs and Dems as evil,

and bad for America. I heard the guy sitting in for Savage tonight saying that Democrats were just like Al-Queda.

I can't believe this shit.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

29. ollie north was blaming the paul johnson beheading on democrats

for investigating the prison abuses. to which hannity replied,
"i agree"

[Nikki Stone 1]

34. Looks like I need to get out my Ollie North coloring book

The one with him, the Ayatollah and lots of other fun figures from Iran Contra. It's a real coloring book too. Wonder how much it's worth on Antiques Road Show?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

36. i think a friend of mine has the same one

he got it in d.c. in the 80s at a rally (where he also met the great abbie hoffman)

[Nikki Stone 1]

39. If he gets it appraised, let me know

In the meantime, I will take it out from time to time and remember Iran Contra.

Hoffman was an original. So far, no one has stepped into his shoes.

[Insider]

42. propaganda techniques from the psyops manual

radio name calling & repitition?

--snip--
Name Calling or Substitutions of Names or Moral Labels. This technique attempts to arouse prejudices in an audience by labeling the object of the propaganda campaign as something the target audience fears, hates, loathes, or finds undesirable.
Types of name calling:
-Direct name calling is used when the audience is sympathetic or neutral. It is a simple, straightforward attack on an opponent or opposing idea.
-Indirect name calling is used when direct name calling would antagonize the audience. It is a label for the degree of attack between direct name calling and insinuation. Sarcasm and ridicule are employed with this technique.
-Cartoons, illustrations, and photographs are used in name calling, often with deadly effect.

--snip--
REPETITION


An idea or position is repeated in an attempt to elicit an almost automatic response from the audience or to reinforce an audience's opinion or attitude. This technique is extremely valid and useful because the human being is basically a creature of habit and develops skills and values by repetition (like walking, talking, code of ethics, etc.). An idea or position may be repeated many times in one message or in many messages. The intent is the same in both instances, namely, to elicit an immediate response or to reinforce an opinion or attitude.
The audience is not familiar with the details of the threat posed. Ignorance of the details can be used to pose a threat and build fear.

Members of the audience are self-centered.

The target can take immediate action to execute simple, specific instructions.
--snip--



and dick cheney's profane language?
--snip--
Plain Folks or Common Man: The "plain folks" or "common man" approach attempts to convince the audience that the propagandist's positions reflect the common sense of the people. It is designed to win the confidence of the audience by communicating in the common manner and style of the audience. Propagandists use ordinary language and mannerisms (and clothes in face-to-face and audiovisual communications) in attempting to identify their point of view with that of the average person. With the plain folks device, the propagandist can win the confidence of persons who resent or distrust foreign sounding, intellectual speech, words, or mannerisms.

46. Absolutely on the money.

Great post, Insider.

[Taylor Mason Powell]

31. Ha ha! It's not going to work.

If they try to tar Kerry with this brush, it's going to fizzle completely. It just doesn't jive with people's perceptions of John Kerry.

Think about it: what's the most oft-heard criticism of JK? That he's a boring speaker. That he's not terribly passionate in his delivery. So the right wing media chorus now wants to come out and say Kerry supporters (note, not Kerry himself) are unhinged wild-eyed maniacs? Uh, okay. Whatever. Seems pretty pathetic to me.

Actually, I think what they're trying to do is pre-empt Kerry from getting forceful and passionate in his denunciations of the regime. Because the minute he does, it fits in neatly to the right-wing media's predetermined storyline. The lazy press whores just love their predetermined storylines (cf. "This is just another of Gore's bizarre exaggerations!"). Saves them the trouble of critical thinking, analysis, coverage of the issues. You know, all that stuff our wonderful "journalists" can't be bothered with these days.

*sigh*


ON EDIT: I console myself by noting that this was on Hardball. I think it's really important to keep in mind that only a tiny tiny fraction of the public watches these MSNBC, FOX, CNN whorefests. IIRC, about 300,000 people watch Hardball at any given time. Whereas the nightly network news shows get about 30 MILLION viewers.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

33. Let's see now...the NeoCons have FratBoy, Cheney, Rummy, Wolfy, Perle,...

...Babs, Rove, Libby, Jebbie, Frist, Hastert, Delay, Hatch, Kimmit, Myers, Hannity, O'Reilly, Rush, and a cast of thousands of "wild-eyed" rightwingers. Think about that the next time you hear the NeoCons talk about Kerry's supporters. I guarantee that it will make you laugh nearly every single time.

Well, except for the times you wake up screaming from such nighmarish visions.

[Nikki Stone 1]

35. Kerry's "dullness" has driven the neocons to extremes

We finally have a candidate that is so boring that the neocons have to attack the voters instead of the candidate. To anyone looking from a distance, the necons look like the nutbags they are. Anyone who puts "Kerry" and "wild-eyed" in a sentence is truly desperate.

[burythehatchet]

37. Wild-eyed burythehatchet reporting for duty

they don't call me burythehatchet for nothin' ya know


*wink* freakin' *wink*

[Zomby Woof]

38. Yeah, I'm wild-eyed too

[Tatiana]

40. It's the new Republican talking point.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, I hope they air that video on Bush's site.

I mean, really... this is the best they could come up with?

BRING IT ON!

[NightOwwl]

41. Wild Eyes!

I think we should have T-shirts made up. I have no sense of humor but I bet someone here can come up with a good slogan.

[jean]

43. Us 'R Wild Eyed? It's a limp wristed attempt to demonize the Left, stunt

the success of F911, scare their fanatic base and rake in some more bucks for bush - all at once! They think they're briliiant!

Footage of F911 movie goers exiting theaters nationwide will be collected - only the largest, craziest, globular wild eyes will do for the hate show clips and bush ads. Let's submit some good ones!

Deeeeeemonize those Dems!!! We're a bunch of kee-razy, wild-eyed lunatics. Most likely possessed by Satan or that pagan god of the terrorists.

Better get right out there after church and send more money to bush.

[Maeve]

45. But...but...Kerry is supposed to be boring! And no charisma! So how..

Conflicting images...total disconnect from reality...does not compute...does not compute...

Laugh at them. Pisses them off something fierce. :D

[proud patriot]

47. That's Right I'm just Wild about My Country and the Constitution

I'm so wild with love for my Country I'm going
to passionately speak out about the injustices
that the GOP perpitrate against my countrymen .

I just Wild like that .

Just Call me Wild Eyes

:evilgrin:

[dmr]

48. I may be wild eyed for the Constitution

but Kerry's boring-ness is actually inner-peace, calm, strength, and maturity, as opposed to Bush* being a psychotic, knee-jerker, AWOL, failure, liar and puppet.

Signed,
Wild eyed for the Constitution

[Kinkistyle]

50. As opposed to the Rethuglican "Dead Eyes"

That 2-mile stare as they listen in rapture to their republican evangelical leaders and babble in tongues.

[name not needed]

51. whoops

wrong thread. sorry.

[Snazzy]

52. Phrase is usually "wild-eyed terrorist"

Betcha you've heard that before (some 8 pages of google links on it too, I checked).

Not too subtle, and not gonna fly. Wild-eyed democrat doesn't slip from the tongue as easily as say slimeball republican.

Edit, update: I get 2,520 hits for slimeball + republican.

[CatWoman]

53. great catch, Snazzy!!!!!

you should post this in a separate thread!!!

[BattyDem]

55. I may be wild-eyed ...

but at least my "wild eyes" are wide open!

[Tactical Progressive]

56. 'Clear-eyed Dems'

'versus pure Republican evil.'

Paints a more accurate picture.

'Angry pigs squealing', like Rush Limbaugh and Shawn Hannity, shouldn't be be allowed to project their attitudes, temperments and methods on Democrats.


It's really well past time for Dems to learn to hit back.

[fearnobush]

59. I'd rather be wilded Eyed than a fucking Bush Bot.

My big bright Wild Irish Eyes support Kerry.

[Oilwellian]

60. I was born to be wild (eyed)

[Kadie]

61. Well of course we are, with what we have had to look at for the past 3

years.

[AspenRose]

63. "Doctor, my eyes"

Wild-eyed, bushy-tailed (and proud of it) DR reporting from the purple state of NM.

(Think "spongmonkey," they're wild-eyed.)

Can't WAIT to see F/9-11 this weekend. Ha!

[HootieMcBoob]

64. What a bunch of horses asses

We have to use jujitsu and turn it around on them. Embrace our wild eyedness. Wear wild eyed t-shirts and ridicule them for their stupidity. It's so transparent! They're all saying the same thing! God I wish somebody would just say to them "shut up you bunch of ignorant assholes!"

[tom_paine]

65. No, bunch of Nazi Monsters reading from the Goebbels Playbook

We are as "wild-eyed" as the Jews when they finally realized what Hitler was up to.

[Tellurian]

66. Why is it everytime the Republicans coin a phrase it sticks?

What the HeLL is "wild eyed"?

[Terran]

67. I gotcher wild eye right here!

Heheh! Thanks for meme, suckers!

Hi Midori!

[donhakman]

69. It was started by

(I believe) Michael Savage who has claimed everyday on Clear Channel radio for the last 2 years that liberals are clinicly insane and need to be arrested en masse for sedition.

[TexasSissy]

70. Kerry's so subdued, it'll hard to make that stick.

Gore isn't running, so that doesn't matter. Dean isn't running, so that doesn't matter.

Sounds like to me they're getting desperate.
