This is simply isn’t how to win the propaganda war. The uber-moonbats of the art world have a mean word for this contest: derivative. It’s simply imitative of what HuffPo is doing. The idea in this type of battle is not to imitate, but to innovate. Imitation makes us seem like children screaming “I know you are, but what am I?”

You must keep your thesaurus on the table right next to the bong.

We must come up with an original idea to illustrate the lunacy of the left.

That’s original.

Not only do we have to come up with an original idea, we face a further problem in the obvious issues. It’s a lot easier to attack the committed sins of George W than to attack the uncommitted sins that the left would have preferred us to do. And those uncommitted sins of the left are often not so much sins of commission, but sins of omission. That is, we have to attack the left over things that they wouldn’t have done, but we did do. But the things we did do have the obvious flaws we learnt while doing. The flaws of what they would have left undone are hidden by hypotheticals. Thus, our choice of issues can’t be obvious about what has happened over the last seven years. We must either be subtle and clever or change the subject. Immigration gives us the chance to change the subject some, but I fear we’re also going to have to be subtle and clever about the past.

I was wrong to imply that pot smoking contributed to your BS in any manner. You are clearly under the influence of something much stronger than THC — maybe mescaline or the Bart Simpson tabs.

Sadly, I have no ideas right now for an original contest.

I do.

First person to correctly decipher and debunk that cryptic flatulence gets to arrange a marriage between you and the fugalicious moonbat of their choosing. Everyone at Hot Air is invited. We’ll throw nuts in honor of your union.

BYOP!
