High Praise, Indeed

9:10 pm EST November 1st, 2008 | Media | 7 Comments

Republican pollster Frank Luntz on Media Matters:

At the least, the organization has succeeded in proving nettlesome to Republicans, as well as the mainstream press at times. “I think they are one of the most destructive organizations associated with American politics today,” said Frank Luntz, a pollster for Rudolph W. Giuliani and Newt Gingrich who this year has led on-camera voter focus groups on Fox News, a frequent Media Matters target. “They are vicious. They only understand one thing: attack, attack, attack.”

I know I get up every day thinking I work for “one of the most destructive organizations associated with American politics today”. Sounds like another one for the quote board.

BONUS: Media Matters covers… Frank Luntz!

    Kudos to all.

    How vicious of you indeed to use Right winger’s own words and actions against them.

    Luntz is a PUTZ!!!! Ever watch him on real time? He’s so predictable and pathetic, he must be where Rassmussen gets his “polling” from.

    “But I learned it from you, Dad!”

    Seriously, the one thing that terrifies wingers is a Democratic party with, pardon the expression, balls. Kerry’s campaign failed to fight back in 2004. Dems took the offensive in 2006 and won, but then failed to capitalize on the victories, and their popularity plummeted.

    Obama? Class, integrity, coolness under fire, _but don’t_ mistake his willingness to get aggressive when necessary. The cons tried multiple times to smear him (Ayers, Muslim, Black Radical, etc.) and his strategy was pretty brilliant. He sent out spokespeople to quash them, while maintaining his own positive campaign message. (He didn’t even mention McCain in his 30 minute speech. McCain couldn’t possibly _not_ mention Obama, because his campaign is built entirely on negatives.)

    Anyways, keep up the good work O-dub. The wind has changed, and as a party, we swing back now. Hard. And frequently. Get used to it, wingers.

    Reminds me of the cowardly lion crying after being tapped on the nose to end his “Put’em up!” tirade.

    High praise indeed, from one of the people responsible for some of the mendacious push polling ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.
