For the next week, we should look for ops to counter "torture is a policy"

[EFerrari]

and all its variants like "partisan witch hunt". LTTEs, polls, radio call in shows, emails, talking to people.

If you know of a venue -- an editorial, a news item that uses those phrases, a poll that is put up, a radio show we can call to, POST THEM. If you want help with a letter, ASK FOR IT. If you have another idea for pushing back, SHARE IT. Let's get busy, DU.

And please see this post of HHNF in the Activist HQ:

We push BACK NOW and support our Attorney General against these hypocritical, miserable lying criminal bastards.

3. I just read on another site

a post by a rightwinger that the people who committed the torture were brave enough to do something distasteful.

What kind of bravery does it take to beat, terrorize and abuse someone who is shackled? As far as I'm concerned it's an act of cowardice.

[EFerrari]

4. Brave enough to hurt a helpless person, brave enough to commit a war crime!

Mother would be so proud!

[glitch]

12. They were so "brave" when they though they had cover.

Almost as brave as the keystrokers who admire them.

Most likely those brave American torturers are spilling their guts to Holder right now.

[EFerrari]

17. Or they will, very soon. Let's stay with it.

:)

[EFerrari]

5. Let's back up the folks that back us up.

8. One more rec so we can get more aware involvement here..

Somebody? Anybody??

10. K & R & bookmark this post

I don't have the cable or the local tv so I can't contribute on that end, but I can contribute on the PUSH BACK.

13. Googlers wanted and needed, too... EF's other thread:

16. We need help searching terms, glitch.

If a meme is working, it's in the search engines! :hi:

19. Torture is a part of 'American Culture.'

Junior learn how to torture and refined his technique on pledges in college. If it's ok for the Frat Houses, it must be ok for the military, right?

[EFerrari]

23. Right! What do liberals want, to take our enemies to the Olive Garden?

:hi:

24. Honey beats vinegar any day

unless you're using it in salad dressing.

:hi:

26. Actually, taking them out to dinner is not a bad idea.

It might give us time to explain to them who the real bad guys are, who their real enemies are.

[EFerrari]

27. That would require social skills which is why Republicans should never be in power.

I bet the NRNC gives new Republican House members cap guns as a welcome gift.

[formercia]

29. And make them watch 'Death Valley Days' re-runs. n/t

25. CBS, Politico, and US News & World Report:

Featuring McCain on "Witch Hunts" & "Banana Republics"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5521664&mesg_id=5526014


"Equivalencies" with which to demonize the Left (US News & World Report)-

The Left wants "Show Trials" and fails to see the irony of "Witch Hunts" after Clinton years.
A political mistake. We'll never trust you Dems with National Security again.

(sorry for cross- posting-- I just figured out which thread was for what) :-)

28. From now on, it's just be "Pushback Saturday" and so on.
