With great fanfare, the Democrats last week launched a devastating fusillade of rhetorical counterfire in the battle for the American Mind – or perhaps the American “Mind” – this past week with the splashy launch\/relaunch of…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…well, a bunch of websites. To spread “the truth” about Barack Obama and his Administration.<\/p>\n

RT Rybak took time off from finding ways to trade cops for bike paths to declare “We\u2019re not going to take any baloney”. \u00a0And he seems a mayor of his word; reading the sites involved, it seems that the Dems are committed to giving “baloney” back, and upping the ante in the rhetorical luncheon-meat department. \u00a0Another lefty shill said that the “Ministry Of Truth” sites are a response to the “sleazy GOP money” from the likes of the Koch brothers – the left’s straw-boogeyman-du-jour. \u00a0Meaning that we’ll have Rockefeller, Soros and Big Union money to fight against big private sector money.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the Ministry Of Truth’s array of websites:<\/p>\n

KeepingHisWord.com<\/a>\u00a0could be better called “Rhetorical Needles Threaded.com”; it’s devoted to repeating Obama Administration chanting points. \u00a0But here’s an innovation; the type is really really big<\/em>. \u00a0Each “article” is, basically , a sentence, carefully trimmed for easy memorization for people who don’t think that hard about things. \u00a0It is, intellectually and rhetorically, the next steup up from Duckspeak.<\/p>\n

KeepingGOPHonest.com\u00a0<\/a>is more of the same, with a Green emphasis; the site recycles Gingrich, Santorum, Paul and Romney campaign hit points against the other campaigns. \u00a0It’s basically an RSS feed of the big four campaigns’ negative pieces, only dumbed down for, you know, the Democrat electorate.<\/p>\n

AttackWatch.com<\/a>\u00a0is…Attackwatch! \u00a0It’s our old friend, better known<\/a> to conservatives and other sentient people as “Stasi.gov.us”; still asking for people to report in to Zentralkontrolle about Badthink aimed at The One and His administration.<\/p>\n

So what conclusions can we reach about the Democrat campaign, viewed through the prism of their Ministry Of Truth’s websites?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. They are admitting Democrat voters have no attention span<\/strong>. This stuff is written to the level and attention span of a third-grader with ADD. \u00a0They need Big Thoughts broken down into easily-memorized, quickly-chantable bullets, or sanitized, officially-sanctioned Big Humor<\/li>\n
  2. They need to dodge the Big Question at all costs<\/strong>: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” \u00a0The answer hidden in plain sight on these sites is “Yes – if you are government”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The Democrat Ministry Of Truth website; \u00a0full of type and fury, signifying nothing.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
