meme spreading?

anyone care to share some of preferred sites/avenues/methods for releasing flocks of "little birds" ?

The Richard Gere gerbil thing started somewhere, right?

Thanks!

1. I think this might be a good place to begin
Most pundits read this site, even if they'd never admit it.

After all, look how fast "Baghdad Bush" is spreading.

2. This site is one
Repukes like to come here and spread conservative memes, like flat taxes, and why we shouldn't tax the rich

3. Newspaper opinion pages
My local (small town) paper has an anonymous call in/email in section for reader comments (approximately 75 words or less). I've begun sending in three or four a week and have gotten three (out of about ten) published. If each DU'er were able to find one paper that had this and began sending in carefully crafted, highly persuasive (no highly charged rhetoric) messages we could get a lot (albeit in small bites) of information and analysis out before the general public.

4. That is probably a fairly...
....accurate description of what the right is doing and yes, it is a great idea/strategy if carefully managed.

5. this is more along the lines of
'hey- I heard that george bush got an underage girl pregnant and his family made her get an abortion so it wouldn't hurt their careers"

that's not exactly the kinda thing that you can just post in a newspaper site.
however - i do like that for other stuff. mind telling what your paper is?
i'd like to take a look to get an idea of how it looks.

I do want to Johnny Appleseed though. Hard to do it smoothly.

7. Newspaper site
www.sgaonline.com

Yes, this is NOT a disinformation type thing but more countering the RW talking points/making a progressive argument--in a written sound bite (can you have a non-oral sound bite?--LOL) format. You wouldn't want to overwhelm the system. More of an each one reach one approach.

10. Yeah, I did that too.
It is kind of like trying to get into a fast-moving lane of traffic. But once you start, you will feel right at home. I sure do.
