June 28, 2005Six ActivistsThe Wall Street Journal has a story on how 6 liberal activists with a web site pushed the Downing Street Memo onto the mainstream media agenda.
We have more than six people and a web site. What we don't seem to have is a big audience out there waiting for us to press their buttons. How could a half-dozen centrists change politics? Posted by rickheller at June 28, 2005 04:48 PM Comments
Organize in a similar fashion to object to the current spate of liberal bashing which is counterproductive at best and destructive of civil discourse at worst. Posted by: Pudentilla at June 28, 2005 05:03 PMWait a second... Is the Downing Street Memo on the maintream media agenda? Furthermore, I am not sure I want activists from the left or the right, especially those from Kos, having a say over what is, and what is not, news. Pudentilla, Great comment! Posted by: Mathew at June 28, 2005 05:08 PMOf course, "six people and website" is a bit misleading. They had Daily Kos. Posted by: Tully at June 28, 2005 05:55 PMIf we played to preconceived notions we too would get more attention. I tell you the "Hitler-O-Meter" is the way to go if we want national play. ;-) Posted by: c3 at June 28, 2005 07:49 PMWait a second... Is the Downing Street Memo on the maintream media agenda? Agenda? I don't see any evidence of that. Radar screen? Most definitely. Posted by: carla at June 28, 2005 10:10 PMPerhaps by picking a centrist candidate for 2008 and getting behind her? C'mon, you've got to allow me the occaisional bit of shameless propagandizing. ;) Posted by: Simon at June 28, 2005 11:38 PMLOL, Simon. I don't even have to follow the link. And I certainly won't argue that she's not a centrist. Posted by: Tully at June 29, 2005 12:07 AMHow could a half-dozen centrists change politics? rickheller brought up the answer yesterday: Centrist Propaganda! Posted by: oberon at June 29, 2005 08:12 AMHow could a half-dozen centrists change politics? Hire Karl Rove's machine to spew invective that all noncentrists are evil, America hating, troop loathing scum. Pretty soon you guys will own the world. Posted by: carla at June 29, 2005 10:27 PMcentrists can't do much because centrists don't stand for anything, you can't stand in the street and say look look, bush is a nazi because you don't have the balls to say it, so instead you're out there saying look look bush isn't good or bad and nobody cares, nobody cares about the guy that can't make up his mind Posted by: Sue at July 1, 2005 01:49 AM |
