It seems there is some confusion about whether this letter is "real" or if it is satire, which seems odd to me. To answer this question... It was written by me, as satire. Most people got that, but I thought I'd post here to make sure the rest get it as well. Enjoy, Marc Gallagher Update…

In doing so, always attach words such as "disastrous" or "insane." Don't worry if you, personally, have no understanding of economics or monetary policy. It is the smear that counts. Your own ignorance will remain well-hidden by the equal lack of education on these topics by most of the general public. Do not under any circumstances ask Alan Greenspan about the gold standard!!! While he is one of us, an establishment man with great credentials as chiarman of the Federal Reserve practically forever, he is prone to slipping up and acknowledging that gold defends freedom and that fiat currency is really a way to expand the size and scope of government. The following link is for the eyes of mainstream media members ONLY, not for the general public, which might be enlightened. DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE! http://www.constitution.org/mon/greenspan_gold.htm Remember, "Ron Paul" equals "kooky" and "unelectable." Anything less and we are simply not doing our job!

Try to make your laughing seem natural, showing as many teeth as possible, even if it looks like you are snarling at the audience. If your laughing still comes across as a bit nervous and unnatural - which it always will - snap back with the ready phrase: "But realistically..." The phrase means nothing, but that's exactly the point: In situations like this one meaningful phrases are dangerous and cause a lot of harm. Laugh when Ron Paul’s name is mentioned.

While using our considerable information-gathering muscle to uncover all the pimps and jaywalkers who have donated to this campaign is laudible, it is more effective while making sure not to mention that candidate Paul's record breaking money comes from ordinary people of limited means, many of whom have never been political before, and not from special interests and political action committees. It is interesting, but someone noted that fortunately candidate Paul has not made much of this fact either. Sure, he talks about how many new contributors they're getting and how its swelling, but he usually doesn't drive the point home and put a human face on it. And that's dangerous because the human face he puts on it is the one in the mirror -- not the folksy, laconic, apple-pie, patriotic ones We and K Street have crafted.

THE R WORD. Unfortunately, because one of candidate Paul's unsupervised, independent-minded and, sadly prophetic, supporters has deemed this campaign a Revolution (wince) you may have to use that word when refering to candidate Paul. It should be used with extreme caution and avoided if at all possible. Using it with derision is dangerous because it can stir sympathy in the simple minds of the impressionable fools that follow candidate Paul, tempering his control over them. Repeated analyisis of past interviews shows that it is most effective when used in as bland and monotone way possible and move on. While words are important, even more important are graphic images in our multi media-video driven-reality (obscenly-hyphenated) world of today. Under no circumstances is one to provide video images of the incredible crowds he has been drawing, all with little or no advance work other than saying he'd be at such and such a place at such in such a time to talk. This was never more masterfully executed then last autumn the MSM ran a story about how hard it was for candidates to get big crowds at their appearances, ones that look impressive on tv. It was noted that even when the campaign bused them in at the campaign's expense that the "frontrunners" could only muster 150 or so. Nowhere was it mentioned that the day before thousands had shown up to hear candidate Paul speak in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Ditto with the one at Independence Hall. Of all the places! The Nerve! Video images of otherwise normal-looking people, taking time off from busy lives, on their own dime, gathering in huge crowds, without being prodded to do so by anything but their conscience, when used in conjunction with words like Revolution can be a dangerous thing. People should gather when WE tell them to. And not otherwise. What is this gathering of one's own accord? It makes the bosses uneasy. Images of two or three supporters standing on a street corner in Butte, Montana holding Paul signs in a snow storm is acceptible, so long as Section 2 of the Official Media Guide is adhered to. "Crazy people hold signs on street corners don't they? Now back to you in the studio, Jim." You forgot another one.
THE R WORD.
