John Hawkins reprinted part of a discussion at Democratic Underground about fleeing the country since they think we’re on the verge of becoming like Nazi Germany. Moonbats leaving under their own accord would be great since there is no known medical treatment for Bush Derangement Syndrome, but I was thinking that maybe we can help speed up the process.
What if we successfully started a rumor that a Bush dissenter was grabbed in the middle of the night simply because of his viewpoints?
Something like that might scare those whose threats of leaving are just bluster into actually leaving. Thus, I’ve got a sort of plan developing. Now, since I came up with this idea, I can’t directly start the rumor on my blog or it’s too obvious. Luckily, I started a newsletter which isn’t publicly available to anyone doing a Google search. So, in the next newsletter, I’ll put up a fake AP story of someone being mysteriously grabbed by feds and the White House saying they won’t comment on the matter. Then, other bloggers can just cut and paste that on their own blogs saying they got it off the AP wire or saw it on a liberal blog and react to it (either suspicious or saying it’s probably nothing). People without blogs can e-mail liberal blogs the story or post on bboards or something.
Anyway, it sounds like a plan to start an internet rumor. Any advice? Remember: the idea is to get some liberal blogs to believe this and comment about it. That means we can’t be too over the top and the story and how right-wing blogs react to it need to fit their skewed idea of how the world currently is. If it seems true to them, they’ll accept it without any research.
Also, we need some cool codename for this operation to scare the moonbats out of America. Discuss in the comments, and then this will start when I send out the IMAO Newsletter later this week.
And, since people always ask, you can sign up for the IMAO Newsletter on the left sidebar or at the IMAO Store (where you can also buy stuff!).
But… but…
…if you do something like this, where am I going to get an overpriced cup of coffee or a video rental? There won’t be any surly service people left!
Your one fatal flaw…aside from posting this as a topic…SNOPES. The urban legend webpage is on a left tilt and will blast your plan all to heck…too bad, too, I think it would have been funny…cause, you know, satire’s like…funny
First
I’m all aquiver.
Operation ELF (Eject Liberal Fanatics) or (Enjoy Life in France) or (Expatriate Like Fools)
Ok, I’ll stop now
Shoot, it said I was first, quivering over.
how about Operation trade deficit. we are importing to many illegals, so now we have to export some liberals. or something along those lines….
I was thinking something like “Operation: Return to the Moon” since we’re sending away the moonbats.
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! STOP TALKING ABOUT MICHELLE MALKIN!
AND WHY WOULD YOU DARE PUT HER PICTURE ABOVE MINE??
Call me, we need to talk.
You may be all right with this, legally, so long as you make sure you don’t lie to a Federal law enforcement officer. You may need to look into Florida law, though; here in NC we have a law forbidding “endangering a vulnerable adult” and feeding the fears of the clinically paranoid might well qualify.
It is an awfully mean thing to do to Canada, too, just when they’ve finally managed to elect a Conservative PM. It is just bound to violate somebody’s Human Rights.
How about “Operation McCarthy”? Even better…tag it to an existing paranoya conspiracy…”Enact FEMA” Don’t forget to have people report “Black Helicoters” and troops in unmarked uniforms at such abductions…thay will drive the leftists wacky.
no no no it’s gotta be something military, like URGENT WAFFLE or NOBLE WIDGET
Operation: Dingy Harry?
Bloggergate?
Operation: Flying Moon-Rodents?
Frank, you seem to be in trouble, so I’ll keep this brief: if your plan was to not reveal the “AP” story on IMAO because it would be too obvious, then why announce that you’re gonna do it on IMAO at all? Why not announce it in a newsletter, then put the story in a later newsletter? That way, you can better cover your tracks.
Sixth Sense,
I just want a degree of separation; this isn’t top secret like a previous operation…
Why even bother trying to hide it? Just make stuff up, post it, and you’ll be the equal of the AP or Reuters – Yahoo and Google News will then feature the story prominently.
Well…you may have to add something about “noble freedom fighters”, evil neo-con Jooooo conspiracies, and/or how peaceful and full of sunshine and rainbows Islam is, but you get the idea.
But if you go with your original plan, how about “Operation Lemming” – they won’t even need a push over the cliff.
How about one of the following:
Operation: Crazy Bait
Operation: Welfare Export
Operation: Quagmire
Operation: Sever Loco
Operation: Airbourne Lunar Rodent Extraction And Detention Yield, or Op:ALREADY.
Then… yes… NUKE THE MOON!.
“Operation Chicken Little”, since they usually think the sky is falling anyway?
Writer,
I think I like that best so far.
First, appeal to their paranoia. DENY vehemently the existence of any covert
operation called “URGENT CRANBERRY” and the mysterious disappearances of left wing whistleblowers. That way even after Snopes says it never happened, you can say you said that all along.
We could call it Operation Obtuse Reference. Since most Military ops have names that really have little to do with the actual op, it seems apropos. That and Chicken Little.
I’d say go with Operation Chicken Little, that sounds like it would work
Operation Totally Hitler?
It needs to sound like a real military ops name.
OPORD Sierra Six [play on Star Wars ‘Order Sixty Six’].
OPORD Senior Threat.
OPORD Stealth Star [play on the tin-foil hat theories about ‘operation dark star’].
OPORD Silent Lion.
No, I have it: Operation Silent Panda… Any die hard IMAO fan should get that…
We should call this Operation Pinback, and the password could be, “Hey, Bomb…?”
How about the “SUBTLE” program? You could have different phrases for different aspects of the “program”:
“SUBTLE ARROW” for the project to locate the likely liberal targets for “deportation”;
“SUBTLE PACE” for the “target tracking” project;
“SUBTLE EDGE” for the project to “disappear” the “targets”;
“SUBTLE SHADE” for the “deniability” project;
And you could have maneuvers like “SUBTLE MIDNIGHT”, “SUBTLE DAWN”, “SUBTLE MORNING”, etc. as the “phases” of the project are “implemented”.
Of course, documents with bits of information about the “SUBTLE” program would have to be “found” by select members of the MSM. Too bad Dan Rather retired…
( Yes, I spent way too many years working for Defense contractors. I still think in acronyms 🙂
I’ve been thinking about floating a rumor that the “Republican-controlled Congress” will push through a repeal of the two-term limit on Presidents, just so Bush can run again… and again… and again. Just the thought that such a thing might happen would surely cause Liberals to die en masse of sheer hysterical outrage.
Just call it Operation “Puppy Smoothie” and get Michelle Malkin to deny it’s existance. That should send them over the “virtual” fence.
How ’bout Operation Fallen Dove?
Op: Urgent Waffle sounds too much like a Democratic operation – “We have to be indecisive about this RIGHT NOW!!!”
Op: Urgent Cranberry sounds like a laxative – then again, given the purpose of the operation is to rid the body politic of a lot of biological waste product, it may be appropriate.
I’d suggest Operation Nacho – The three most offensive words you can say to a liberal (or a two-year-old) are, “It’s not yours”. So when some twit says, “dude, where’s my country?” we can simply say, “It’s nacho country, beeoch.”
A more to the point option would be Operation: Bad Trip. The idea being not simply to exile liberals to countries far worse than the US, but to play on what can happen to a hippie on bad acid when jump off a building or burn their eyes out because of some imagined fear or fascination.
Okay, how about Operation Reliable Sources?
