Just a short comment on LC Jackboot’s excellent post about the upcoming battle and, among other things, Sarah Palin.
This isn’t about our “preferred” or “ideal” candidate, we haven’t picked on yet, it’s just a short observation on battlefield reality.
One of the issues that come up time and again among good conservatives is that we must avoid fielding a candidate who is “too divisive” as such a candidate will be savaged by the Obamedia, thus putting us at a disadvantage.
We understand the fear, but the argument doesn’t make any sense, particularly not now that the Obamedia have fully and openly, without even the slightest attempt at pretense, vested themselves in the re-election of their Jugeared Messiah.
It doesn’t matter who we field, he or she will be subjected to a massive pile-on by OPFOR. We should all have learned that from ’08, when we fielded the most milque-toast, nadless, indecisive, “loved by the media” candidate of the primaries.
If finding a candidate who will not be viciously and endlessly smeared, slandered, libeled and savaged by the Obamedia in ’12 is the criterion we decide to go by, then we might as well cede the battleground and go home to memorize the Internationale.
It’s as pointless as a WWII admiral making convoy plans based on the requirement that, however they’re planned, said plan must guarantee that the Germans won’t use their U-boats.
The DemCong aren’t going to not use their most potent weapon, no matter who we nominate. We could nominate Alan Grayson and they’d still pile on him because he was running against their Master, Ogabe.
Don’t waste time on finding a candidate that is “acceptable” to the Obamedia, there isn’t such a candidate to be found, spend your time instead thinking about finding a candidate who won’t be put on the defensive by their inevitable onslaught, and think also about ways to counter their efforts. Spending a bit of time wondering about how to use their own methods against them would also be a good idea. Just ask Patton.
The Obamedia, although they most certainly still have the upper hand in the infowars, are on the defensive now and, keep in mind as you recoil from divisive candidates, their brazen lies are beginning to backfire more and more. The louder and more shrill they get, the more it is turning off the average Mr. and Mrs. America, as their Tucson Fuckup proved.
Who knows. Maybe fielding somebody who will drive them truly apoplectic is the single best weapon we have?
Thatisall.
The candidate we field must be the one that drives them totally around the twist! THEN, we prove the lies, and win.
Someone unapologetically Conservative (vetting hard for someone who doesn’t have any child-buggering in his past would also be nice) who’s able to take each MSM onslaught by furrowing his brow, cocking his head slightly to the side and responding with:
“But… that’s just stupid”
They’d have to clean Matthews brains off the camera lenses.

We should all have learned that from ’08, when we fielded the most milque-toast, nadless, indecisive, “loved by the media” candidate of the primaries. Exactly. We “took the enemy’s advice” about whom to nominate, whether consciously or otherwise. He ran the worst campaign of the century, with the possible exception of Bob Dole in 1996. That’s what we get from… Read more »
Definitely a conservative, demo lite doesn’t do it for me, no RINOS. You simply get there a bit slower, I don’t want to get there at al. Ignore lefty cries of intolerance and any othert ism you would care to name. DO NOT take our eyes off the ball. ! I say fight them, using their methods and weapons, then… Read more »
Yep. Just ask Hillary Clinton.
Our first step is to shore up our voices. Protect freedom of the internet, and resist any effort to invoke the Fairness Doctrine. Let the progressives oppressives have their dinosaur media, we don’t need them nor do I want them anywhere near me. They have chosen their side, and they are propagandists in the style of Goebbels…..and I have no… Read more »
Oh BULLSHIT DJ! Obama didnt “convince” anyone that he was the one. What they played on was the whole “its a historical moment” bullshit. How many times have we heard that excuse from the 52’rs?
You mean that the Lying Leftist think that Obama’s not Marxist enough for them?
By the way, there is no such thing as “the middle” in politics. To be in the middle would require one to have no opinion on any subject at all.
We should all have learned that from ’08, when we fielded the most milque-toast, nadless, indecisive, “loved by the media” candidate of the primaries. A-fucking-men, brother. I keep thinking of this: the woman who was an Atlantic Monthly contributor who had those paintings of McCain with a chimp urinating and defecating on his head. This is all-out fucking war. Kulturkampf,… Read more »
I nominate His Eminence Emperor Darth Misha the First, Lord of the Sith and Prince of Darkness.
Hell, Obongo won so why couldn’t Misha?
Besides, I’d get the job of Imperial Protector of the Wenches er, interns
I had to work night shift when it was on, not that I’d watch it for more than a couple of minutes anyway, he’s so full of SHIT I can’t make myself listen! If I was home and had the next day off, it would’ve made a good drinking game if you had to take a drink every time he… Read more »
I think it was Sun Tzu that said some thing like this, “one of the best tactics is to get your enemy so hopping mad he stops thinking”. Or maybe that was Heinlein.
Elections tend to be decided by the “middle”, aka “undecideds” or “independents”. They are the 10-20% or so who pay little attention to current events, yet vote anyway. They will slavishly parrot whatever ignorant political opinions are promulgated by their favorite celebrities. When the Blood Libel Media (BLM) savages Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, these are the voters they… Read more »
Response to Emperor Misha I @: I would not worry about the rest of us getting the message My Liege. The thrust of your original post to me was do not allow the LSM to pick our candidate as they will savage whoever we put up. DJ’s post was his basic tactic, thread jack the comment stream and divert the… Read more »
I’ve found that DJ’s pixelated anal effluvium (procured by the displacement created by him power-slamming his head squarely up his ass like a jackhammer) makes the most sense when I don’t bother reading it.

The thing is, you want to make this a one-sided whine. “It’s not faaaaaiiiiiiiiirrrrrrr that people attack Saraaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!” Get a grip. Like when you were whining the “You’re all racists!” meme whenever “The Chosen One” was criticized? That didn’t work out too well, now did it? And speaking of whining, who could forget the “I’m moving to Canada” tirade. Or… Read more »
“If A Liberal and a TEA Partier Had Been on the Titanic“

Now, that’s funny right there.
Elephant Man says:
He says that every year, he never means it.
When the Blood Libel Media (BLM) savages Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, these are the voters they are addressing. All they have to do is frighten the ignorant middle into fearing the “violent right wing”, and the Left will win. Time was, nothing could prevent that process from doing exactly what it was designed to do. But things are… Read more »
A present for you today, Misha
How one Jihadi rang in the New Year in Moscow
I can see it now …. the Jihadi’s thinking ok the vest is all set .. 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 … Happy New BUZZZZZZZZZ BOOM!
I want it noted that more and more headlines in Google Fast Flip of all places, are showing tons of people backtracking or apologizing after smearing Palin these days. I counted no less than 5 cases the other day. The money makers are realizing where their butter comes from slowly but surely and are beginning to lean on the liberal… Read more »
Oh and hey, do you all remember the episode of Supernatural (season 5 I think) where Dean is sent 5 yrs into the future after the devil takes over Sam’s body? There is a newspaper with a headlines talking about President Palin. Of course it was supposed to be a dig on her ‘evil fascist ways’ and a sign of… Read more »
Heres who needs to be the GOP candidate

No, here’s the candidate of the future:
Guaranteed to do nothing but nap all day, in homage to Calvin Coolidge.
Whoops, sorry, blew that one:
Rufus For President!
Just because he took over a popular socialist party to get his ass democratically elected to the leader of a country… He didn’t get elected to do anything. His party was democratically chosen by the masses . Don’t forget Germany operates under a primitive system of governance called the Parliamentary system where people vote for the party not the person.… Read more »
but unless you have a clue as to what a ‘totalitarian’ or even “Marxist” actually is, You have advocated the banning of religion. You have advocated the nationalization of oil, natural gas, and coal. You have advocated the nationalization of the health care industry. You have advocated using only federal funds for elections. You have said nothing about the various… Read more »
