Democrats, do the visual on McCain’s ignorance
Where is the picture of Lieberman whispering into McCain’s ear – that Shiite Iran is not training Sunni al Qaeda extremists, as McCain had just claimed for national TV the third or fourth time? Damn it, Democrats, give it a visual and send it all over the Internet. Sure, the clip should be on YouTube and should be circulated, but that picture should be in newspaper ads over and over and over all over the country: showing Americans visually that McCain is not only not a foreign policy expert, he is even woefully uninformed about foreign affairs. Don’t you get it, progressives? Don’t just sit there and rail against the media for showing the Wright clip about Obama on a continuous loop – as justified as that complaint is – until you have done everything possible, especially with visual reinforcement, to make it impossible for the media to keep avoiding the truth about McCain.
That picture of Lieberman whispering factual information to correct another McCain blunder should dog McCain for the rest of the year. The importance of visuals or other was to capture a specific message in a dramatic way is understood by the Republicans. The party of big business is, inevitably, the party of the most prominent advertising agencies, and they know how to do stuff like this. It's their stock-in-trade. When will Democrats learn how to think this way?
