Attack the Message, not the Messangers...

It is becoming very clear that Democrats did not take political science classes. They are engaging in a war on messages using the wrong type of ammunition. This is very, very simple. They need to look at how they beat Republicans in the past and see what the message both sides were using.

Democrats control everything: the White House, Congress, and the media. They can easily get out a clear and concise message out without anyone really questioning it. Yet, they decided to make this an issue of how people are protesting and clearly underestimating the effect of this. They think they are still in campaign mode. The issue to the American people is not who is delivering the message--as demonstrated in the past by extreme left-wing groups that Republican attacked instead of addressing the issues. Republicans, for once, attacked the message and the policy, and it is finally getting through their thick heads that this is the way to win over independents. Attacking a group or any citizen usually backfires unless that group or citizen is extremely controversial. Even then, it is hard to get the message across.

Democrats are attacking non-politicians and targeting common people. This is supposedly the post-partisan Obama era. We see ads featuring birthers (irrelevant), Rush Limbaugh (an entertainer who is political), and health care protesters (who can certainly be liberal, independent, and conservative but still dislike the plan). Are these the cards the Democrats want to play after seeing the history of Republicans attempting to do the same while failing? The public will not respond positively to the government attacking the people that vote for them. The public will respond though; it will be in the ballot box.

More on this issue, some I agree with and some I think the author misses the point.

Edit: I forgot to add, the funny part about this, as I am sure people have seen, is that the former community organizer is getting upset about "communities organizing." Even if this was manufactured (95% of the protests are not), it would be the best case of irony.
