McCain Asks Supporters To Campaign On Blogs
Vote McCain in 2000! writes "McCain is not the stranger to technology some think him to be. McCain is now asking supporters to stump for him on blogs. Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise for this outreach, calling it 'smart' and 'unique.' McCain's blogger outreach section has a handy list of political blogs which might be interested in hearing about McCain, such as the DailyKos, Crooks and Liars, and Think Progress. You can even report your posts to the campaign and 'receive points for your success,' though the page doesn't say what exactly the points are good for." Slashdot is not on their suggested blogs list. Can't imagine why.
I think not. The old fart can go stump for himself.

McCain has supporters who have blogs? Clearly the Internet belongs to Ron Paul, and we don't take too kindly to flippy-floppy neocons around these parts.

Sending McCain's supporters into the DailyKos is like sending lambs to the slaughter.
...not an inappropriate word choice, considering what "effluent" usually refers to...
"Spam lefty blogs with righty ranting to win points!" -- it's like someone created Internet Troll: The MMOG.
"Little does he know, but there is no 'I' in 'Idiot'!"
He would do the blogging himself but his wife doesn't have the time to help him with the puter. McCainlol
"He'll just end up coming across as creepy and forceful."
I believe that in the biz that's referred to as "Mainstream Republican".
Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
Uh, effluent?
"Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise"
From the MacOSX Dictionary:
liquid waste or sewage discharged into a river or the sea : the bay was contaminated the effluent from an industrial plant.

Oh, wait. Politician talking about a propaganda plan. I guess effluent is the correct word then. Carry on.

Quote: "Republican Web 2.0 consultant David All was effluent with praise..."
Is that something like farting with praise?
Or defecating with praise?
Oh, and MOD PARENT UP. It's a reasonable opinion.
due to the Incumbent Re-election Act of 2002 (also known as McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance Reform), blogging about John "Wipe my ass with the first amendment" McCain within 60 days of an election is illegal.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
People actually wrote little journal entries on wooden logs and then would roll them down a hill or street. Eh, that's the best I could come up with. Someone else give it a try.
That's 'cause Slashdot is Web 0.9.
(And we like it that way! Get off our lawn!)
Crooks and Liars? Really?
I mean, look at a few carefully cherry-picked blog posts from there:

I didn't have to hunt far to find those, and I knew I'd find them even before looking, having seen a few posts from C&L in the past. Maybe McCain's old friend Putin, the president of Germany, tipped them off about that site.

The *real* reason to vote for Obama:
MaCain's web site runs on Windows and uses HTML Tables. Obama's web site runs on Linux, and uses XHTML/CSS.

Maybe because /. makes the DailyKos look moderate at times?
Look, for the last time, the fantasies you have while masturbating after dropping acid do not count as "at times".

MaCain's web site runs on Windows and uses HTML Tables. Obama's web site runs on Linux, and uses XHTML/CSS. ...and I thought my brother voting on the basis of lapel pins was frivolous.
There's a perfect xkcd for my sig but I'm too lazy to look it up. sudo someone go find it.

Tim Russert worked for Moynihan. Chris Matthews worked for Muskie. Ever since the 1920s duh left has controlled political discourse with one-sided reporting and manufactured anger. PBS allowed us our singular token non-lefty Buckley, and that was it.
Want a modern example? President George W. Bush. If you can't see the vast majority of reportage about him is one-sided manufactured anger then you're a complete imbecile.
If a Democrat had done everything President George W. Bush has done, he would be lauded by Duh Media as the best President in American history.
