I just filled out the Organizing For America (OFA) questionnaire, and in the comment section I suggested the following:

Once a week, OFA should email to its members a roundup of counter-arguments against the conservative talk show misinformation and agitprop.

So, when my neighbor confronts me with some rant that he heard on Fox news, I'll have a tidy counterargument at my disposal that matches what other progressives (the President included) are saying to counter the same piece of criminal bloviation. Helpful little tactics from the Karl Rove playbook -- frame the story and stay on topic.

I think this might be a more persuasive alternative to the often emotional but not too convincing arguments I see in media outlet "Comments" pages. No?

Thanks, President Obama, for doing the right thing.
