The WH Media Team:The Worst WH Tin Ear in History. 
 Edited on Tue Aug-10-10 05:31 PM by saracat
Once again the White Hose Press team has diplayed the worst tin ear that I have ever seen displayed by a professional political organization, particularly one with almost limitless funds at its disposal.In one week this PR team has managed to present what appears to be an extremely unfounded optimistic appraisal of the situation in the Gulf without any corroborating data, and patronize all those who ask for such, while fisherman in the region continue to warn us we shouldn't eat the fish. Axelrod reiterated that the President does NOT support Gay Marriage right in the midst of the celebration of the overturn of Prop 8 in California! They did nothing to tone down an expensive trip of the First Lady's as unemployment benefits are being questioned in a recession shocked nation. The team initially jump to the support of the firing of Shirley Sherrod without any due diligence researching an available speech, and now, once again, this time officially, through the mouth of Gibbs, refer to anyone demanding broader change as "crazy and needing to be "drug tested" in an eerie echo of the COS Emmanuel's earlie reference to the left as "f***inf retards" in an earlier gaffe that still resonates with many people.

I have never, ever seen such a terrible inability to convey any kind of positive message by any other press team. I really question the alleged "liberal approval numbers. Those can't include teachers and they sure no longer include the unions, who have joined in a march on Washington.(And I have yet, thank god, to have seen a WH reaction the THAT)
For all those that bitch about MSM and their coverage, I can only say that the WH has an ongoing job to not directly hand the Press ammo to use against them. That is a huge part of image control. You can't keep outright giving the media "gifts" and expect them not to use it to sell soap.

Month ago, I suggested that this entire team, including Gibbs be replaced. I am repeating that call again today. It is just amazing to me that the same people who managed to use the media to such advantage during the 2008 elections don't seem to have a clue how to manage their image once in office.It seems as if the president has allowed the 20 something who sends out his twitters to have complete control over his Admins image. This is a bad state of affairs . Twitter boy needs to be demoted and they need to hire some real pros who realize that their is a world outside of DC filled with people who are experiencing real pain and loss who feel their issues are not being addressed.

Those in the bubble will not be the ones making the decisions on election day.I suggest every effort be made to address the issues of the real Americans before that bubble bursts.

After Mr. Gibbs' now famous comment, do you feel our party is at war with you?
 Let me start with this unequivocal statement: I am a DEMOCRAT and I am NOT leaving.

My answer to the question I posed in the OP? Yes, I feel the party is at war with me. I say "the party" because, at any point in time, "the party" is its leadership. I know that isn't technically true. The party is the amalgamation (look the word up, it was intentionally chosen) of all its members. Of late, however, a goodly portion of the members, me included, are openly treated with disrespect by the leadership. We are clearly being heard and intentionally being marginalized. I do, indeed, feel as if we're at war.

If this post doesn't sit well with you, too ****ing bad.

And no. I will NOT go.

Elections don't work. Revolutions don't work. What's left?
 Revolutions never work - they just get some Alpha Male in power who likes to torture smal children for fun. Think Lenin, think Stalin.

Elections don't work - they might talk good game but in the end they serve the companies that paid them.

Third Parties don't work - just ask our Green Party Senatorial Caucus.

So how do you eliminate our shitty government?

How do you do it with the least amount of suffering?

How do you strike against the real perps?

I'm not saying I know - I'm asking here...

Lots of bitching and moaning, some cynical snarks about the American Revolution and industrial revolution and one lod mothed jack ass crying for non-violent Marxism.


So basically they got everything they wanted in 2008 and have been miserable ever since.

27. No, because the Geneva Conventions don't apply.
 I feel more like a battered spouse. They use me to make themselves look better to the other guys in the room that they want to impress. And then, they tell me they didn't mean it, that it wasn't that bad and that it's not their fault. 

  Huh?  I read it three times and I don't understand what she's saying.  Sometimes analogies fail.

35. I bought his act for most of 18 months. I give him credit 
 for snowing me that long.

  Man, what a dupe you are!  I had him pegged when he first hit the stage.

45. They're trying to make actual Democrats who support Democrats
and the Democratic platform unwelcome -- as if this was their party.

 

That one was edited for clarity.

Ha ha!! I took that idiot DUmmie 18 months to figure out that the commie is incompetent?!?! WHAT A FOOL!!

We knew this idiot was an empty suit the first time we heard he went to Harvard on the affirmative action dime!

Either that, or Soros hooked him up!! Another winner there, Soros.

Tis' truly a wonderful thing to see a DUmmy become self-aware - albeit rare, yet wonderful indeed.
I would bring sentient being into the mix but why muddy the insanity...

The VRWC can neither confirm nor deny if they have used Art Bell-esq Remote Viewing to infiltrate Stinky's bong resign drenched brain to 'manipulate' his interpretation of the environment he lives in.

We CAN confirm our love of natural comedy though - take that for what you will...

We are .... intentionally being marginalized.

I should hope so.  Your political ideas, put into practice, would be the exact opposite of the reason the USA was founded.  The USA in the form of which you seek would not be a country worth fighting for, it would be a country worthy of being destroyed so that good and descent people could take out some frontier justice on kooks like you and start all over the way it was supposed to be in the first place.  Figure it out, sparkling husband primitive; you're an idiot.  We've told you time and time again.

I suspect the stupid -ex primitive is disappointed because OBama isn't commie enough..

Probably saw it as "Word Of The Day" at dictionary.com and dropped by DU to use it.

DUmmies love that kind of pretentious shit. They're like Emos with subscriptions to World Worker's Daily.
