either on Tuesday, or online after it airs.
Frontline is one of the best television shows on TV. I can’t say enough good things about that show. They provided much insight into the Bush Administration with their documentaries over the last eight years.
I saw it last night and thought it was really interesting since I was too young to be aware of the Reagan/Bush 41 elections and the tactics used then. What’s amazing is that it seems as if the Republican party has just been rehashing the same strategies snce then. The Bill Ayers/Jerimiah Wright associations reminded me of Willie Horton and the weak-on-defense-Dems/unpatriotic line just keeps coming up. Thank goodness that Obama pushed back more forcefully against the slander than we saw from the Democratic candidates in the last two elections.
As a tangent, wasn’t W surprisingly better spoken when working for his dad’s campaign?
Also, I’m really looking forward to the Hugo Chavez episode in two weeks.
Lee Atwater used God to sway voters, in addition to patriotism, but he was hardly a believer himself. If I’m not mistaken, one reporter said that Atwater referred to the anti-abortion activist crowd as the “extra-chromosome group.”
My favorite line concerns George H.W. Bush going on the offensive in a noted interview with Dan Rather, wherein Bush pointed out Rather’s flawed character. Was that planned? “We don’t talk about how we make sausage!” replied Atwater.
It was said that Atwater realized that the press can only chew on one ankle at a time as an attack dog. Get the press to lock its teeth on the other guy’s flaws, before they do it to your own candidate.
Why do salt-of-the-earth people vote seemingly against their own economic interests? Atwater knew that it’s because “proud patriotism transcends money.” Easy enough to play people using that framework.
