Republican Talking-Points FAQ
Right-wing bloggers are always being accused of just parroting Republican talking points and being plants of Karl Rove. This bring up lots of questions about how do we get those talking points and how does someone become a Karl Rove plant. To help, I've come up with this helpful FAQ to answer the questions I know the answers to. REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS FAQ Q. Does IMAO receive Republican talking points? Q. Are these the same talking points all other Republican shills receive? Q. Why are they sent by fax? Q. How many other right-wing blogs out there receive talking points? Q. How does a blogger get to receive talking points? Q. Do you share the money Rove pays you with the other IMAO bloggers? Q. What happens if you deviate too much from the talking points? Q. Are there Republican talking points for podcasters? Q. Can I see a talking points memo?
Hope that answered all your questions on Republican talking points. If not, then I blame the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin (wink wink). 24 Responses To "Republican Talking-Points FAQ"
>my work as a Republican in college Wow, you were a Secret Jackboot in college? That's some credentials! #1 - Posted by: Francesco Poli on September 12, 2005 11:29 AMROFL, nice post on Washingtonmonthly.com. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_09/007106.php#701023 #2 - Posted by: Craig on September 12, 2005 11:52 AMCraig, Of course, you're bound to get more emails saying "You're not funny. Why aren't conservatives funny?" I thought your response to that was so on point and factual as to be funny. "You don't think we're funny because we're making fun of you. And generally, people don't like to be made fun of!" #4 - Posted by: Craig on September 12, 2005 11:57 AMFrank J has been diagnosed with "narcissistic personality disorder". Damn is that right on or not? Posted by: WhoSays on September 12, 2005 at 11:58 AM | Oh, wow. That signature is the kicker. I love Darth Rove! #6 - Posted by: Steve the Pirate on September 12, 2005 12:33 PMHmmm, those talking points are VERY similar to the talking points us lowly blog commenters receive. Fascinating. Note, though, that we didn't get those talking points on sounding sincere; ours said that we could be as shrill as we wanted to be. #7 - Posted by: Al on September 12, 2005 01:22 PMUgh! You need to warn people when you post links to leftist sewers like that Washington Monthly. It's going to take me weeks to get the smell out of my keyboard. #8 - Posted by: kc on September 12, 2005 01:23 PM"DO NOT MENTION THE WEATHER MACHINE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" lol - best part The satellite images of flooded school buses must be from Darth Rove's double secret Photoshop dungeon. #10 - Posted by: Clark on September 12, 2005 02:00 PMWow. Devastating. The end of progressivism and the breakup of the Democratic Party must be mere moments away in the face of your rapier-like wit. ZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZZ #11 - Posted by: Jack Reallyreallyreal on September 12, 2005 02:42 PMYou get talking points? Hell, I keep getting emails from John Kerry. #12 - Posted by: The Man on September 12, 2005 02:54 PMHave you seen Rove's "Democrat Talking Points" yet? (1) Explain the link between hurricanes and the Kyoto protocol. Remember, most Americans aren't as smart as you so you'll need to put it in simple terms like, "Bush controls the weather." (2) Emphasize how Democrats are keeping Americans safe from looting by taking away their guns, while Republicans stood by and allowed the looting to continue unabated. (Note: if you are against private property, you may want to emphasize rape and murder rather than theft.) (3) If people speak positively about the federal military response, put it in proper perspective by noting that General Honore chews cigars and smokes. (Do not under any circumstances mention his race. Race is not a factor among rescuers, only victims.) Cigars! What kind of example are we providing for innocent children? #13 - Posted by: Scott W. Somerville on September 12, 2005 02:57 PMThe weather machine! I love it. I was in a bar the other day and someone told me that Katrina was controlled by Bush to destroy the oil rigs down there to up the price of oil. Bush hating has unhinged some people. When I told him that was crazy, he told me that I was naive. #14 - Posted by: Steve on September 12, 2005 05:02 PMScott Bush did cause the Hurricane, but not because of Kyoto. It seems he was desperate to get the attention away from Iraq. He, unlike Clinton , probably was ashamed of his slide in the polls. These will be tommorrows DNC talking points! #15 - Posted by: DL on September 12, 2005 05:05 PMNow, now. Karl Rove must be more sophisticated than you let on. The font he used looks awfully like Computer Modern Roman; only smart and sophisticated people use TeX. #16 - Posted by: Eric Jablow on September 12, 2005 05:25 PMWe are through the looking glass here people. Reverse Vampires Waaaaaaaa!!!!! #17 - Posted by: JoshG on September 12, 2005 06:45 PMDAMN! Frank! Why didn't you tell me to keep quiet about the eather-way achine-may before I posted that "thing" last week?: http://www.imao.us/archives/003863.html #18 - Posted by: Harvey on September 12, 2005 11:23 PMHuffingandPuffingtonPost reports that Rove used the W.M. to create Katrina to take the "heat" off the Plame/ Libby/ Novak/ Miller/ Everybody investigation, which was just about to FINALLY result in the end of the evil Bushitler Reich. Is there no end to this man's deviltry? How many must die so that Rove may continue his reign of evil? #20 - Posted by: Scott W. Somerville on September 13, 2005 05:09 PMKudos to you for perpetuating the political divisivness that has paralyzed any chance of salvaging what remains of American Politics. Your use of satire and ridicule brilliantly obscures most Republican's inability to explain the gaping hypocrosy of supporting an administration that touts itself as Conservitive, while presiding over the largest expansion of Federal Government in recent history (something that so-called 'Liberal' policiticians are ofted chided for..). Nice. But in all seriousness, why fight absurdity with more absurdity?? I suggest that the next time you meet a tree-hugging liberal who claims that 'Bush caused the Hurricane', perhaps you can remind them that DARPA, and not the Executive Branch controls HAARP. But i'm sure you already knew that.. ;) Remember kids, it's not LEFT vs. RIGHT, its THE STATE vs. YOU. #21 - Posted by: Marcus on September 13, 2005 06:09 PMThe fax I received on 08-25-05 mentioned something about "ridding New Orleans of it Democratic base" and "stealing keys from school buses", can somebody please clarify? My fax machine is defective and the copy was distorted. #22 - Posted by: G77090 on September 14, 2005 07:28 AM(W)eather (M)achine (D)iviculator WMD not found in Iraq #23 - Posted by: Frank Tobin on September 14, 2005 10:13 AM"The fax I received on 08-25-05 mentioned something about "ridding New Orleans of it Democratic base" and "stealing keys from school buses", can somebody please clarify?" Yes, those buses were going to be used to take N.O. democrat voters to the polls on the day after election day. Hope that helps clarify the point. #24 - Posted by: Sharpshooter on September 17, 2005 03:34 PMPost a comment
