START THE RIDICULE NOW!!!!!

[senseandsensibility]

Ok, so they're goring Kerry? So what else is new? They're mediawhores and they're threatened. Everyone agrees we need to hit back HARD, and most of us have been saying that for months.

So bring on the ridicule!! C'mon, who's a better target for ridicule: Kerry or *? We need to use this very powerful weapon against the most idiotic and pathetic president in history.

Take your best shots, DUers!! Cheer me up! And when we're done, let's e-mail the list to the Kerry Campaign!

1. Deferment Dick

'nough said? :shrug:

[newsguyatl]

2. i agree!

there's too much of "i hate the media" "they're so unfair" "look what they're doing to kerry" etc.

we KNOW this! we EXPECT this!

we're fighting two enemies people -- the rightwing and the media.


so buck up, and fight back. don't expect the media to be fair, they won't be. they WILL do anything they can to ensure another bush victory, that's just a fact of life, that will hopefully make us stronger.

3. Zell Cheney

Sounded better than my original choice: Dickhead.

[hlthe2b]

Humorous ridicule is REMEMBERED and it has impact.

12. I won the war.! You expect me to win the peace too?

[wurzel]

15. Yeah! Well I could have gone to war just like Kerry I wanted to.

[wurzel]

17. Look! Ashcroft was unemployed too. And I got him a job didn't I.

[wurzel]

[senseandsensibility]

What fifties comedian can we get to reel these off? I think Rodney Dangerfield is a repuke.

[Jim Sagle]

[senseandsensibility]

13. How about showing the old cheerleader

19. We have to leave the media in the dust: Guerilla marketing

We the people can create an issue that brings the media to us using viral and guerilla marketing techniques. Guerilla marketing means we disseminate our message using non-traditional delivery systems. Viral marketing means that the message creates buzz and it propagates exponentially. The computer ushered in the age of print and web based media accessibility to the masses. We are paying a lot of attention to online media and ignoring the most far reaching: PRINT media.
An example of an effective print piece highlighting Bush's failure and MOCKING him in the process:

high resolution version for printing here:
http://somnamblst.tripod.com /


Most people have not read the 8/6/2001 PDB. This is a postcard size version that can be distributed in a variety of ways, to a variety of audiences.

Put them on car windshields. Hand them out on street corners. Drop them on driveways in the suburbs where the frightened inhabitants are sure to contact the authorities.

We don't need TV buys to get some attention on this issue. We have to undermine Bush's perceived strength. We all are potential disseminators of printed media. We do not need a newspapers permission or lots of money for TV commercials. We all have access to printers, photocopiers and paper. Many of us are very talented users of PhotoShop or Freehand. We all can create print ads like the one above. If we the people can create a buzz with massive distribution of printed ads we will get media coverage. The possibilities are endless regarding this type of grass roots guerilla marketing. Kerry is our product, Bush is the product we must crush.

The Bush administration's complete INCOMPETENCE is key to undermining his strength.

[senseandsensibility]

20. Excellent presentation!

I agree that incompetence is the issue. Ridicule is simply the method for communicating his incompetence in a humorous way. I'm impressed; have you distributed anything like this?

[roseBudd]

24. I need help from you guys

I cannot afford to have this traced back to me as I work for print media. I cannot have this type of guerilla marketing start in my city. I need to get it out there in a way that no one knows who created/instigated it.

I can make more and have lots of ideas. But the true beauty is that we can all force people who will never come to DU, never read NY Times or Wash. Post. to see this information. to be effective it must be short and too the point. We must use documented facts and their own words/testimony to undermine, but most importantly we MUST MOCK them.

We don't need the media if we create media.

22. George W. Bush is dumber than Dan Quayle put together!
