The RNC’s juvenile fundraising plan: victory through fear and “Tchotchkes”!
Somebody at the Republican National Committee is getting paid to copy snarky/Obama derangement blog comments about “socialism” and paste them into a Powerpoint presentation for use with donors? Clearly, I’m in the wrong line of work … Meanwhile, a spokesman attempts to distance Michael Steele from the Powerpoint, since of course we all assumed something that lamebrained had to have come from him … (telltale sign it wasn’t a Steele special? No hip-hop references or tired, 1980s black slang.) The money quote from the Village Voice version:
Campaign marketing tactics to be employed include “tchotchkes,” and the “visceral giving” elements of the direct marketing campaign include “fear” and “reactionary.”
Yeah! Tchotchkes!! And this:
The presentation also shows large sums of money raised by the RNC through its affiliates — regrettably with only contributor categories (“Eagles,” “Regents,” etc) and not proper names attached. Some of the planned fundraising events are pretty humorous, though. For instance, for the “Young Eagles” RNC has planned a “Vegas UFC Fight,” a “Professional Bull Riding,” and “Grassroots Cocktails with Senator David Vitter.” Major donors get to party with Newt Gingrich at Hunt Oil Headquarters in Dallas.
