Pelosi Asks Director Steven Spielberg For Help Rebranding Democrats’ Image…

You can’t rebrand evil. . .

(WaPo) — Midway through Philip Rucker and Paul Kane’s story about Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s transition to minority leader comes an interesting bit of news. The California Democrat, vilified by Republicans in the last election, has turned to director Steven Spielberg for help rebranding House Democrats.

Lawmakers say she is consulting marketing experts about building a stronger brand. The most prominent of her new whisperers is Steven Spielberg, the Hollywood director whose films have been works of branding genius. Lawmakers said Spielberg has not reported to Pelosi with a recommendation.

Spielberg has been a power player in Democratic politics for years, working on everything from President Bill Clinton’s millennial celebrations to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. He endorsed Hillary Clinton in the last presidential race, but since then he’s helped fundraise for President Obama.

But, the news that he is advising the leading Democrat in the House on building a strong party brand would seem to be a different — and more expansive — role than Spielberg has played in the past.

    Well, Nancy, the American voters pretty much said, “Fukk phoning home. Just get the fukk out!”

    Instead of obaMAO zombies for commies, the (DEM) official U.S. Communist Party will be re-branded as Global Communists for islamo Jihadi and Sharia Laws.

    Its their own fault they decided not to wear the mask anymore. No chance of that re-branding working when your message doesn’t sell.

    Mr. Spielberg, we need more propaganda…I mean rebranding.

    Maybe he can do irreperable harm to the Democrat party like he did with the Indiana Jones franchise (for many of us) with the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

    Of course the liberals are complaining that repubs didn’t accept it at first but when they do it will be their fault if our deficit grows

    Aw gee. Why not just go back to the toilet seat?

    Well, I like to thrown things in for the irony and satire. Please don’t take any of these suggestions seriously.

    How ’bout “A party a mother could love”?

    Or, “We’re here to help. No. Really!”?

    “Progressivism is our most important product.”? (That’s scary.)

    “Progressive means Democrat.”?

    “One party, one future.”

    “The Party of reconstruction.”

    “A new vision for Amerika.”

    “We’re the Party that led the lambs to slaughter.”

    “Constitution? We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution.”

    “Democrats. Live bait.”

    “Democrats. The Party of equal outcomes.”

    “Democrats. The Party isn’t over.”

    “The Party that brought you Obamacare.”

    “Moving on.”

    “Creating a new future for Amerika.”

    “Democrats. The Party of Classes.”

    “We’re with you all the way!”

    “Democratic Socialism: The Future of Amerika.”

    “No Party passes more laws to protect the middle class.”

    “The Democratic Party” with a picture of a Unicorn in chains.

    And finally, just make Anthony Whiner the Party spokesman.

    I think she should ask James Cameron to contribute as well.

    The amount of ‘special effects’ needed to convince this audience is above and beyond anything Spielberg has ever been asked to do.

    It’s over, RATS. You outed yourselves. You can’t put the Commie back in the bottle, even with your Commiewood friend.

    Fag loving , baby murderers,pinko ,anti working class, moocher low life supporters is kinda hard to re-brand.

    Looks like they have done pretty well in getting Republicans to cave without any rebranding.

    It did wonders for Nancy.

    Mr. Spielberg may have his hands full without the benefit of some new actors. Those currently acting as a press can probably stay put. That man acting as president could better be played if he pretended not to have to read every speech. Also need to make it clear to Nancy it is still unlikely a Wicked Witch of the West will have a part in the cast.

    Yes, you can rebrand evil. You just call it “cool” or “patriotic” or “the greater good”, depending on which one fits best.

    Recall the moral equivalence and ‘balance’ of Palestinian terrorists compared to the immoral Israelis in the Spielberg produced movie “Munich”? Spielberg holds the gold medal in suicidal moral equivalence.

    This make a whole lotta sense when you think about it. ‘Pre-crime’ was a central theme in both Pogressivism AND ‘The Minority Report’.

    Socialists consider everyone a criminal until proven otherwise. They feel a need to limit freedoms to keep people from victimizing each other. The only way to do that is to enact laws that regulate every aspect of human life.

    Only by creating a ‘virtual prison’ can they protect everyone from everyone else.

    Instead of calling on Hollyweird for help, why don’t you pray to your god (Satan or Soros) for some of their intervention. I hear both of them are great deceivers and sure they are full of black magic that will do the trick..

    Democrats already possess all the cunning and savagery of “Bruce” the great white shark in the Spielberg-directed “Jaws” and all of the charm, character and sophistication of the transformed “mogwai” (google it) from the Spielberg-produced “Gremlins”. It appears that Steven Spielberg has had plenty of influence on democrats already.

    This is a good sign that the Democratic Party knows
    they very close to the Eve of Destruction. The clock ticks
    and they also know the Kenyan is just going to continue
    to be a total incompetent and an incomprehensible and
    bizzare one to boot. Everybody including the guy himself
    knows a 2012 major landslide is coming that will wipe
    most of the remaining Democrats off the face of the map,
    including Kenyan’s incompetent and ridiculous Presidency.

    You can’t rebrand a product that the whole country now
    knows is a fiasco. Unemployment isn’t coming down and
    it won’t in 2 years either. The slightest shock is going to
    double dip us and UE is probably going to go up from here.
    Gas is now over $3.00…goes much higher and that alone can
    quickly reverse everything.

    These guys are in a box. They either take down the
    Constitution now by clever moves and grab power for
    good (Speilberg’s real consulting task?) or they are history -
    because the American People are itching to destroy them
    once and for all in 2012. The Democrats know that too and
    we are now entering one of the most dangerous periods in
    American history. The Dow will hit 1,500 before this
    is all over.
