“We’re living in the era of the viral town meeting,” said Ross Baker, a political scientist at Rutgers University who once worked as a Senate aide. “I remember back in the ’70s getting identically worded telegrams in the thousands. What’s happened now is the technology of protest has metastasized, and it threatens to overwhelm the relationship between members of Congress and their constituents.”
so who is sending out these messages this time?
they are called talking points.
they will deal with Racial bias, labeling, etc.
here's an example
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Put 100 of these people in a room. Strap them into gurneys. Inject them with sodium pentathol. How many of them would say "I don't like the idea of having a black president"? What percentage?
CYNTHIA TUCKER: Oh, I'm just guessing. This is just off the cuff. I think 45 to 65% of the people who appear at these groups are people who will never be comfortable with the idea of a black president.
now what you have to figure out as an individual, is who is sending out these "talking" points and how they might benefit that person.
Who is controlling the media? How does that affect their ability to get these talking points out into the mainstream.
If these talking points are not distributed and accepted by the public, how will you deal with the unintended consequences?
Will you force your message, through intimidation and disinformation, or admit that you were mistaken about the citizens' understanding about the message, and answers to any objections?
Which direction is the obama administration taking?
