How to anger conservatives into action

Try sending them a letter in an attempt to intimidate them into silence:
Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning” letter in the mail next week.
The letter is an opening shot across the bow from an unusual new outside political group on the left that is poised to engage in hardball tactics to prevent similar groups on the right from getting off the ground this fall.
Led by Tom Matzzie, a liberal political operative who has been involved with some prominent left-wing efforts in recent years, the newly formed nonprofit group, Accountable America, is planning to confront donors to conservative groups, hoping to create a chilling effect that will dry up contributions. …
The warning letter is intended as a first step, alerting donors who might be considering giving to right-wing groups to a variety of potential dangers, including legal trouble, public exposure and watchdog groups digging through their lives.
Sorry, but if you think brown-shirt intimidation letters from lunatic Lefties such as yourself will frighten conservatives into silence, then you don’t know squat. Conservatives persevere despite media scorn, Hollywood demonizing, and lunatic protests outside our conventions. A “foreboding warning letter” won’t scare them, especially from someone who couldn’t make Progressive Media USA survive in a progressive-friendly cycle.
In fact, such fascistic tactics will have the reverse effect. Conservative activists have mostly stayed on the sidelines in this election, frustrated by the nomination of John McCain and a Congress that won’t stop spending money. Threats from the Left will convince them that they need to get into the fight just to make sure that the Left’s candidate for President loses the election.
So send out those “warning letters”, please, and remind them all of what the Left will do when it takes full control of the government. Keep issuing extortionist threats to people who engage in political life, and keep revealing your true nature. Motivate conservatives to get back into action.
This sounds like another one of Mattzie’s ill-considered ventures. He blew $12 million in funding for his anti-war group last year, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, and showed nothing for his efforts. He also was involved in MoveOn’s preposterous General Betray-Us ad last September. The biggest surprise is that Mattzie still finds fools with money that need parting.
Update: Brian Faughan notes that Mattzie didn’t do much Googling before latching onto the name … of a conservative activist group — and its logo. See-Dubya and Michelle have more.

First time in awhile I really wish I had lots of money. To paraphrase the president “Bring it on Bitch!”. Maybe we should take up a donation to send his new group some brown shirts!
Zaggs on August 8, 2008 at 9:38 AM
I have to imagine that one of those “fools with money that need parting” is named SOROS?
furytrader on August 8, 2008 at 9:39 AM
Besides buying some McCain bumper stickers, I haven’t given any $ to any campaign for a long time. I’m going to send the RNC a check so I can get one of those threatening letters.

The fat kid your mother made you play with when you were eight.
Akzed on August 8, 2008 at 9:39 AM
Hey, if they really want the conservative money to dry up, just get McCain to start talking about amnesty again.
Darksean on August 8, 2008 at 9:42 AM
Maybe intimidation won’t work on the big donors (I hope it won’t), but I have to confess that small intimidation tactics routinely employed by rank-and-file libs out here in the real world work on me. I won’t put a Republican campaign sticker on my car because libs routinely key and otherwise damage cars with Republican stickers on them. But that’s a small thing because I don’t think bumper stickers persuade voters at all. But the groups big donors can start absolutely can and do persuade large numbers of voters. So I hope they’re not as wimpy as I’m ashamed to admit I am.
aero on August 8, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Interesting that guys like Mattzie and Soros have all that money - and despite their bitching about all of America’s “problems” as they see them, all the dough ever gets spent for is to try to demonize and intimidate conservatives.
whitetop on August 8, 2008 at 9:44 AM
I’m not so sure. Conservatives are pretty demoralized these days between McCain and his allies that have hijacked the GOP for their Democrat lite agenda. So-called “Republicans” have been out there screaming for conservatives to shut up and support McCain since he secured enough delegates to get the nomination. Conservatives are being told to ignore principle and support a candidate who doesn’t respect their values for no other reason than he isn’t Obama.
If all that treason from one’s own party and supposedly like-minded Americans isn’t enough to mobilize conservatives, why should the efforts of liberals make the difference?
highhopes on August 8, 2008 at 9:44 AM
Trying to imtimidate your political opposition into silence shows just how weak your argument really is.
BadgerHawk on August 8, 2008 at 9:45 AM
It’s like Stalinist Romper Room.

Wrong, he is the fat kid you used to dunk in the community pool, just to watch him cry.
DoctorDentons on August 8, 2008 at 9:45 AM
“I won’t put a Republican campaign sticker on my car because libs routinely key and otherwise damage cars with Republican stickers on them.”
I found the same thing, but that’s why I attach them to a magnet.
The little gutless lefties won’t attack your car in traffic and that’s where the message needs to be seen anyway.
When you park the car in a public space, just remove the magnet.
Don’t let lefty juvenile delinquents squelch your message. Bumper stickers are free advertising.
NoDonkey on August 8, 2008 at 9:47 AM
I’ll second you on that. I live in downtown Madison and am worried my car’s going to get keyed once some anti-war hippie seems the military registration sticker on the windshield. There’s no way I’d ever put a McCain sticker on the bumper.
BadgerHawk on August 8, 2008 at 9:47 AM
“Conservatives are being told to ignore principle and support a candidate who doesn’t respect their values for no other reason than he isn’t Obama.”
How do you know all of this? Do you know any conservatives? Because you sure aren’t one.
NoDonkey on August 8, 2008 at 9:48 AM
seems = sees, obviously. And good idea NoDonkey.
BadgerHawk on August 8, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Why interrupt your opponent while they are making a mistake?
Have at it Matzzie. I might as well order up a print run of brown shirts and mail them to “Accountable America”.
gabriel sutherland on August 8, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Where did you get the photo of Hugo Chavez?
TooTall on August 8, 2008 at 9:49 AM
I’ve got a McCain sticker, & I’ve had cars pull in front of me & brake 3X already.
jgapinoy on August 8, 2008 at 9:50 AM
That’s a good idea. How frequently do cars with GOP stickers get vandalized? It strikes me as being a bit of an urban legend. That said, I live in a Democratic stronghold (Cleveland OH) and on election day in 2004, I had to go to our local supermarket to pick up a bunch of donuts, bagels, and coffee for Bush volunteers. The bakery employee asked me what I was buying all that stuff for, and I said it was for volunteers for a political campaign. She asked me which one, I said Bush, to which she responded “I wish you would have told me that earlier so I could spit on the food.”
Outlander on August 8, 2008 at 9:52 AM
Liberal fascism.
But the only surprise here is that the NYT published the story.
petefrt on August 8, 2008 at 9:53 AM
The warning letter is intended as a first step
Uh … a first step? What comes after that? Thugs beating your door down and dragging you into the street? What country am I in again?

But remember, folks, we’re the fascists.
ZK on August 8, 2008 at 9:57 AM
If I were a Democratic operative, I would identify anyone who donated $1,000 or more to McCain or the RNC within the past nine months and write letters to their employers threatening economic action (boycotts, negative publicity campaigns) if the employer does not take immediate action to cause its employees to stop donating to Republican causes. I’ve experienced Democratic operatives on the local level do this with respect to Republican poll monitors and election workers, and it’s at least somewhat effective.
Outlander on August 8, 2008 at 9:57 AM
“Matzzie.” Rhymes with…
Spanglemaker on August 8, 2008 at 9:57 AM
“How frequently do cars with GOP stickers get vandalized?”
I’ve had three stickers that merely supported Republican candidates, scratched off of my car.
That’s when I started using the magnet.

Keemo on August 8, 2008 at 9:58 AM
I guess this goes hand in hand with the other big democratic tactic “If you vote for a Republican you become a Republican”
Threatening voters
Threatening Donors
Yet they are the “good” party?
Rbastid on August 8, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Usually used merely to indicate time and poster, the tag at the end of a post is sometimes a useful troll alert:
highhopes on August 8, 2008 at 9:59 AM
If anyone’s finances need to be looked at it is Mattzie’s. I tend to get a little suspicious of folks who run multi million dollar organizations that go belly up. Especially when they have done it more than once. Yes please, lets give money to him.
Cindy Munford on August 8, 2008 at 10:00 AM
I didn’t peek, so I dunno.
Tell them that Juan “#uck you, I know more than anyone else in this room” McShamnesty has replaced Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan as the Republican party nominee and get true conservatives so angry that the refuse to vote Republican?
Am I close? Do I win anything?

Ditto’s here… We carry fire power in our vehicles here in Montana; lil different from the days when my car got keyed right below the GOP sticker back in Los Angeles. Some Liberal twit keys my car here in Montana….
Keemo on August 8, 2008 at 10:01 AM
I gave about $100 in 2004 and the Republican proceeded to waste it on sending my $100 worth of mailers trying to get more money out of me.

PappaMac on August 8, 2008 at 10:05 AM
Not having a whole lot of disposable income, I have never given a dime to any political candidate. McCain’s getting my vote because of Obama and now he’ll get what I can spare financially because of this. I just wish I could give more so I could receive one of those letters. Don’t threaten me…I can’t be intimidated and I live in Virginia where any law abiding citizen can get a concealed carry liscense.
sdd on August 8, 2008 at 10:08 AM
“Some Liberal twit keys my car here in Montana….”
Hopefully they’re more respective of property there in Montana. I’m in the heart of lib/gov employee land here in Northern Virginia/Southern DC.
The worst bumper sticker I saw out here was some clown with an upside down American flag and something about Bush’s illegal war.
The great thing was, I happened onto it just as the clownbag who owned it was putting his bike into his car. Right next to Arlington National Cemetery.
I didn’t touch his sticker, but I laid into him and he didn’t utter a peep.
I imagine he removed that sticker when he got home.

Sefton on August 8, 2008 at 10:13 AM
Although I will vote for Sen. McCain, I am also underwhelmed with Republicans in general, McCain, specifically. I have been giving “disposable” income to charity. Including a small donation to Baldilocks and her attempt to get that school in Africa all the things Sen. Obama pledged then baled on. Although I have to admit to be happy about the “stunt” going on it the House right now.
Cindy Munford on August 8, 2008 at 10:15 AM
Liberal fascism indeed.
Wonder if these guys will be integrated into Obama’s new “civilian national security force”?
CP on August 8, 2008 at 10:16 AM
Do you have an address where we can submit our names as Republican donors to Matzzie the Fascist so we can be sure to get a warning letter? I’d like to frame his threat and hang it on the wall to show everyone as a trophy. I’m just afraid he will run out of threats before I get mine.

CP, all fascism is liberal.
thekingtut on August 8, 2008 at 10:26 AM
.
Back in 2004, the local Dems held a screening of Michael Moore’s propaganda as a fundraiser for John Kerry. The patrons came out to find that every single car in the parking lot was sporting a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker. You should have seen the howling in the local paper the next day!
I don’t condone vandalism but that act was funny because it is far more clever than keying cars or otherwise causing damage.

Keith_Indy on August 8, 2008 at 10:27 AM
Sounds fishy to me, esp from NYT. If I were a liberal franatic, how do I show the ugly side of the ‘rightwingers’? This is exactly what I would do.
Cook up a story about an unheard of group with a well known liberal operative. And those hate mails, threatening letters pouring in JUSIFIED exactly what they thought about the extreme rightwing.
Sir Napsalot on August 8, 2008 at 10:28 AM
I attached my “Defeat Jihad” sticker to a magnet so I can take it off at work. No need to be so un-PC while in the company parking lot. But I love to drive around with it on the weekends. And I love to go to the stores with my Jihad Watch t-shirt. I won’t be intimidated by anyonoe.
DerKrieger on August 8, 2008 at 10:32 AM
He thinks that Conservatives are like Progressive Sheep, that is why there is a mailing. He really has that kind of contempt for his apponent. He makes so many mistakes, the first one don’t under estimate your apponent. The Progressive Mind needs to be studied, for lesions ect… there is something faulty with their “logic”. If this intimidation works on left leaning liberals, say like MSNBC, then it will work on their counter parts, right leaning conservatives. They only have one mode of action, a one trick pony. This “Guy” might not be able to task switch. I don’t know if Liberalism is a disease but I do think they attract some folks with issues, to their idealogy.

mjk on August 8, 2008 at 10:40 AM
I had an acquaintance who got rear-ended pretty hard at an intersection soon after placing a “W” sticker on her car. She pulled over to exchange insurance info with the guy, but he did not stop. He just grinned and flipped her off as he drove past. She noticed the back of his rust bucket was plastered with leftist bumper stickers and assumed he had done it on purpose to make a political “statement.” Luckily, she did not have her kids in the car with her. I pretty much always do have my kids in the car with me, and I’m just not willing to take a chance on some lefty lunatic deciding to make a point that day.

You know the old saying, “A fool and his money were lucky to get together in the first place”.
Firmworm on August 8, 2008 at 10:46 AM

What’s that saying about a fool and his money? I think it needs to be revised to a democrat fool and his money.

I think it’s interesting that the NYTs doesn’t say he was with Move On, or mention the infamous Betray Us ad.
MayBee on August 8, 2008 at 10:55 AM
Unfortunately, she did not. She was still shaking from the adrenaline and still thought it was an honest accident before he drove on and gleefully flipped her off. So she didn’t have her wits about her enough to write down or memorize his plate. No witnesses bothered to stop, either. Nice, huh? Her insurance ate the cost of repairs, and she was mostly uninjured. She had a sore neck for awhile, but that’s it.
Like I said, liberal intimidation tactics work on me, but only insofar as deterring me from putting bumper stickers on my car or signs in my yard. They encourage me to donate, though.
aero on August 8, 2008 at 10:56 AM
Anger Conservatives?
This sort of thing angers Independents!
Wait for the letters to go out. Get a copy of one. Send it to Rush so he can start screaming about it, and get it covered on Bill O’Reilly.
Heck, even Democrats are going to think this is a low down trick.
Sackett on August 8, 2008 at 10:57 AM
I have the “Drill Here Drill Now” bumpersticker on my car. Going through my usual Mickey D’s drivethrough, the lady at the window said a woman behind me a day earlier had asked her to ask me where I got it, so she could get one for her van.
It does work, if the message is striking enough.
fossten on August 8, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Oh I got support the Army and flags you name it on my truck, let them hit my truck. Every cop in town, will be on the look out, you know alot of police are in the reserves and national guard. How hard would it be to describe, the lefty bumper stickers and condition of the auto, even if she didn’t get the license plate. That kind of thing makes a cop’s day.

A little OT. I was in Powell’s Books in Portland this week. In their political section they organize the books by ideology. So there is the leftists, socialists, conservatives etc. And then there is the “Far right wing/fascists” shelf. I did my part by writing next to the sign, on the edge of the shelf, that Fascism is a left wing movement. My small contribution towards educating the libtards.
Mallard T. Drake on August 8, 2008 at 11:18 AM
For what it’s worth, I drove my car around San Francisco for six months in ‘04 with a “W ‘04″ oval sticker in the back window, and didn’t get it vandalized once.

We’ll play a little game.
You try to silence us with letters.
We respond with fists.
I guess we will be the silent ones, in comparison to the moans of pain afterwards.
Seriously, can’t this kind of obvious intentional attempt to suppress speech be prosecuted?
MadisonConservative on August 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
No, she ate the cost of the repairs once she factors in her increased insurance premiums. 18 months ago, I had a very minor rear-end crash that required a $600 repair. I lost my accident free discount and will end up paying over $1,600 in higher premiums over a 3 year period as a result.
Any conservative books filed under “fascist?”
Outlander on August 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM
As a maninthemiddle, I stand - as I have for years - with moderate world view.
My view, however, is seeing the far left disappear over the port horizon.
The attempt to silence thought, publication, and speech (and donations are clearly a form of political speech) has truly attained a totalitarian bent.
When they fear they might not fare well in an honest debate, they attempt to stifle the debate rather than reconsider the failings within their own argument.
Now - I have a nice long naughty list for the Republicans over the last decade as well. But the attempt by the far left - via universities, media, and political debate - to create a monolithic mind thought is truly something to be feared and countered.
They may have broken my embargo on contributing…
maninthemiddle on August 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Ed, If you truly believe (as I do) that this “letter action” is so misguided as to initiate a potential backlash…WHY ON EARTH do you advise them in advance?! LET THEM waste the funds to motivate conservatives! There has to be some form of critical journalism possible without constructively aiding the Left.
Lockstein13 on August 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Strangely, I’ve seen LOTS of Marine stickers driving around on the beltline. I’d love to know what happens when a hippie tries to screw with them.
Myself, I drove around for over a year in my old car which had “Bush/Cheney 04″ “Reagan/Bush 84″ and one of those images of Calvin taking a leak on the words “gun control”. I had one guy shake his head at me when he saw them, but actually more people gave me a thumbs up.
Now I have my new car since my old one died over the winter, but all I have so far is “Politicians prefer unarmed peasants”.
Best fun is to drive down Mineral Point Road in the summer, and look for people covered in liberal stickers. At stop lights, I yell at them “I voted for Bush! TWICE!”
The screams are priceless. It’s the new counterculture to be Bush supporters.
MadisonConservative on August 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
I had my McCain sticker on my mini van. Some peace loving Obama fan kicked in the back of my car body where the sticker is. Peace.

DrMagnolias on August 8, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Same thing happened to me, so I never give money to the RNC any more. RNC wastes money on stupidly-conceived redundant mailings and supports RINO’s: actual useful party-building activities do not seem to be on their agenda.
My money now goes directly to candidates who are solid conservatives.

Mojack420 on August 8, 2008 at 12:06 PM
Hey, maybe if we all sent Ed 30 bucks or something, he could send a pooled donation and qualify for one of these threatening letters. There’s no way I could qualify on my own.
funky chicken on August 8, 2008 at 12:08 PM
Bring it on, b!%@&*^!
Animal rights terrorists do it. People who followed a former Presidential candidate do it. Hey, what else can we expect of Leftists? They’re thugs! This is no different than their “Vote for Obama or you’re a racist!” tactic.
If people cannot exercise their right to support a candidate monetarily because of fear of losing their jobs/reputation/career/home/family, then why exercise your voting rights? It’s obvious to me those brownshirts don’t support democracy, but would rather see Obama win by 99.9% of the vote… just like Saddam and Fidel. Very nice.
They’re no different than the Soviets.
newton on August 8, 2008 at 12:09 PM
I’ll admit, this is the first time I’ve been tempted to send the RNC money in a long time.
gekkobear on August 8, 2008 at 12:10 PM
I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t legally count as extortion unless the extorter is somehow benefitting from it.
Otherwise it would be extortion everytime we contacted a company to tell them that we won’t buy their products anymore unless they stop advertising on a particular show.
MarkTheGreat on August 8, 2008 at 12:11 PM
The most pitiable thing is that these punks actually believe that they are the ones trying to advance the cause of liberty and freedom - by intimidating people who believe differently than them. Scratch deep enough and you find a caveman, in this case a whole nation of conservative cavemen, which must sound absolutely terrifying to a highly evolved liberal fascist.
Lunkinator on August 8, 2008 at 12:11 PM
LOL. Actually, that’s a great idea. Imagine getting a million letters in a month….Matzzie might not be so Fattzie after he had to haul all that around.
funky chicken on August 8, 2008 at 12:17 PM
I give money to the RNC and Republican candidates and I’m very actively involved with a fairly well known conservative group. This cycle, I have yet to receive a single mailing asking for donations. I get a ton of e-mail, though. Maybe the GOP is listening?
Outlander on August 8, 2008 at 12:17 PM
Maybe they’re enraged Malkinites? After all, “Juan” McCain is the enemy over there.
Grow Fins on August 8, 2008 at 12:37 PM
I haven’t given since 2004 - and have no intention of giving to any of the GOP party-run groups until there is some sign that the GOP intends to be a conservative party again. Period. Forgedaboudit!
I haven’t noticed any letup in GOP mailings, though. I tore up two more from this morning’s mail alone. The wasted money. The wasted trees! (Gee, I’m starting to feel almost green! :-)
But, seriously though: haven’t seen any sign that the GOP is listening to anyone, except those so-called “moderates” who want to idealogically destroy the party.
seanrobins on August 8, 2008 at 12:38 PM
What makes anyone think they’ll open anything from a Democratic/progressive organization? I toss everything, but the RNC and McCain, out.

seanrobins on August 8, 2008 at 12:42 PM
This is priceless. According to the NYT, this group isn’t sending out these letters because they’re illiberal thugs, they’re sending them out because they want to “prevent similar groups on the right” from doing the same thing.
Reminds me of the way that Obama’s “dollar bill” comments were universally regarded in the MSM as a legitimate defense (never mind that the racist attacks hadn’t happened yet).
The only thing more fascinating than the left’s conviction that everyone on the right is evil is their delusional belief in their own innocence and victimization.

The Enquirer would have given this info.
A couple of months ago I got a request from the McCain campaign for money. I replied with a suggestion that it would make more sense for them to make their requests to Mexican citizens. Have not heard from them since. It is nice to see a candidate listen.

Makes me want to go out and donate more just to get one of his letters for my mantle.
