This is GOP innovation at it's finest! Tired of getting your ass kicked hard on those nasty blogs? Rational thinkers with passion, cramping your style, hosing up the framing and generally just asking too damn many tough questions? Up the noise level a little. The success of FOX can be yours on command: www.winningcampaigns.org (clear your browser before and after you click --remember I told you so!) I find this quite interesting actually. Diluting focus is a very effective check on people powered movements. Instead of building up defensible talking points, or perhaps learning something from those that do, we get noise and the usual, "anything to win, facts be dammed" approach typical of the GOP today.
