And of course they can't let a single day go by without latching on to another chance to suck Reagan's shriveled cock. Fucking necrophilia it is.

That's actually negative marketing, in that it says that the right-wing is NOT something (ie wrong). It might have been better to say "Fair and balanced proof that right-wing politicians are always right about everything." There's a subtle difference. ;)

I made up 'negative marketing', pulled it out of my arse.

That's actually a very real concept. One has to take a care of the words one chooses in marketing... for example, a product is rarely 'old', but rather it's 'vintage' or better yet 'classic'.

Advertising strives to be relentlessly positive with its own products, and only attaches words with perceived negative connotations when doing comparisons with rival products.

Just an FYI. Now returning the thread to its regularly scheduled conservative-bashing.
