If I were in charge of the DNC, [View all]

I would have a staff compile a catalogue of thousands or it might actually be tens of thousands of clips wherein Hair Furor makes remarks on camera which are outrageous and classify and index them accordingly. The indices would comprise individuals, geographic regions, both small and large, races, religions, all issues such as spending, climate change, defense, health and welfare….you get the idea.

When a Republican candidate attempts to criticize or excoriate a Democratic candidate, this open file may be searched and the appropriate response clip may be played virtually immediately. For example, the Republican might accuse the Democrat of being “soft on crime”. What would follow would be an instant replay of Orangina granting pardons to convicted criminals and if appropriate, a clip or statement of the Republican supporting “his/her” President, thus allowing the Republican to make the case for the Democrat.

Please do not inform me that this won’t work because it’s “negative politics”. The Democrat is welcome thereafter or in a separate advertisement advocate for his or her own qualities and experiences.

We have to demonstrate the extraordinary hypocrisy of the RW and we have to use the rhetorical equivalent of a sledge hammer. We have the material, now they need to use it.

And NO SMILING. It isn’t funny in the least.
