Sound Politics: Earned Media "Exercise" For Camp Wellstone Students During June 16 Bush Visit?

Earned Media "Exercise" For Camp Wellstone Students During June 16 Bush Visit?

Tuition is only $75; $35 for students and low-income or unemployed progressives.

It's.......Camp Wellstone in Seattle, this Friday June 16 through June 18. Classes start Friday at 2:30 p.m.

June 16.....isn't that when President George W. Bush comes to town for U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert, at a morning fundraiser hosted in the Medina home of Microsoft executive and former drugstore.com CEO Peter Neupert?

Hmmm...wonder if there's any special local anti-Bush protest planned that day to discuss in class at Camp Wellstone? Pretty good bet, I'd say. It's legal of course, but the question for Dems is how far to push the message. A Camp Wellstone "simulation exercise" press event could be in the offing. Maybe they'll try to gauge media and public reaction to highway banners on the POTUS travel route labelling Bush a "war criminal," now that Lt. Ehren Watada has done the advance work.

1. Do you suppose it is just a coincidence that Camp Wellstone and Hempfest are scheduled for the same weekend?

2. Maybe we should just really upset their mojo and throw them in a grand old tizzy by all of us conservatives joining and attending en masse!

3. In the simulated press event candidates and campaign managers are interviewed on camera by one of the teachers and then they go over the tape. My that is what my friends who have attended a Camp Wellstone saw. I know where the Camp Wellstone is going to be but it is no where near the Bush fundraiser. Jesus you are paranoid. So do you recommend two layers for your tin-foil hat or three to keep those beams that the "Liberal Media" and Hillary are beaming into your basement?

Oh man it is going to be so damn cool to get pictures of the most widely hated president since Nixon standing next to Dave Reichart. I mean Dave Reichart is allready tainted with dirty Tom DeLay money but this is going to be extra sweet.

I am sure that there is going to be massive protests against the UnPresident there always is.

5. They are civil over here to the leftist hack dissenters, like Jacob - whereas the f-bombs would fly toward conservative dissenters on Horsesass.org.

If we could depart from partisanship for a few moments - Reichert could very easily do without Bush here - the most inarticulate president in modern history. Reichert is a statesman and a crusader for securing our borders, unlike GWB who has sold out to corporate interests - he should be ashamed of himself ! If nothing else, it would be fun to document to moonbat protesters, a number of which will be stupid on wacky tobaccy, thanks to Hempfest.
