| Operation Indy-Borg: Black propaganda update. |
| 2006-10-31 |
| Indy-Borg black propaganda update. (This one is so good because moonbats themselves created the material for us, we don't even have to make it up.) I have e-mailed NBC to wail and moan about their decision to refuse commercials for the Dixie Chicks' paranoid fantasy, Shut Up and Sing. Naturally I didn't call it that. I called it a daring exercise in free speech and a bold affirmation of creative responsibility. I castigated NBC for censorship and caving to the Bush/Rove gang. What? Have I gone moonbat on you? You should know better. I am pushing this line simply because the commercials are so shrill, over the top, and paranoid that they will work against the Democrats. Conspiracy theories appeal to a very limited voter base and will seriously alienate other voters. Lots of dopers go to movies but not many vote, and the drug culture is THE market for commercial conspiracy theories. (For those who may not know, the commercial unambiguously attributes the collapse of the Chicks' career to a White House orchestrated conspiracy, and even uses the word "conspiracy." Karl Rove could have written it as black propaganda.) I urge all Rantburgistas who are so inclined to write to NBC and browbeat them to run these commercials before the election. You know the moonbat talking points and style. Quoting Chomsky will impress the interns who screen these things. Use them and help the Chicks' make paranoid raving fools of themselves on the big MSM outlets. It might turn some undecided voters back to the right. |

| #3 I must respectfully disagree. The Chicks' career is not the issue here. I don't care if I am helping them revive their sales by doing this. The more the better. They need to be poster children for the left, their brainless tantrums burned into the public retina as the true face of pop-culture activism. This goes way beyond Natalie's pandering sound-bite about Bush. She has made many arrogant, childish, silly, and just dishonest remarks in the years since, and so have her fellow chicks. Natalie has questioned the very concept of patriotism, admitting for all the world to hear that she literally does not understand it. One of her cohorts referred to the presence of flags and soldiers in music videos as a "disgusting display of ultra-patriotism." More recently, Natalie told a Canadian interviewer that Lubbock has only one radio station and people here are quite willing to slaughter local Arabs if Bush tells them to. These views need more attention and scrutiny, representing as they do the real intellectual capacity, motivation, and character of the pop-left. If that sells a few records for them, so what? It's not as though we are going to rout the left simply by starving them financially. |

| #2 One more thought. The Dixie Chix do this for attention. They insulted the people who buy their albums, lost their au$ience and found themselves singing to tiny niche audience of Bush haters. Because she craves attention like a whore craves crack, the little fat chix is getting more demanding and shrill since she discovered that insulting Bush or America assures the media will give her a fix of the spotlight - no matter how temporary. Ignore. Paying attention is the worst thing you can do. |

| #1 It's a nice thought but the end result is that you are promoting the Dixie Chix and their message. No thanks. |
