What the Saskatchewan Democratic Action Party stands for...

So a poster who goes under the name "Saskatchewan Democratic Action Party" has been posting spam on my site and others'. When challenged over on John Murney's blog the poster had this to say:


With our current membership of over 36 thousand members and growing, asking us who we are would fill several pages of your blogs here.
So they claim to have over 36,000 members. Which is pretty impressive for a group I had never heard of until they started posting on my blog. So I started trying to find out about them.

And them I came across the best electoral Youtube Video ever. This beats the wolf in sheep's clothing video hands down. It conclusively explains what the SDAP stands for.





I am laughing so hard I hurt right now.

Oh, and in case you want to go to an event and actually, you know, meet one of these 36,000 members, you just have to look at thier event calendar here.

Busy guys.

Update: As it turns out the guy who is running this is a total and complete nutjob, I mean, call-the-men-it-white-coats-crazy. See this post for the full scoop

It has got to bug them that this blog post is the number on google hit for "Saskatchewan Democratic Action Party"

Ha Ha.

Really? You think? Perhaps they are just exaggerating a wee bit. Just a smidge?

Duh.

At least the SDAP can operate their Dad's video camera.

and it says 'this feature will be coming soon'

Still figuring out how to use the tools boys?

first of all, given all the video on the new party web site, your choice of analogy is weak, at best.

Secondly, so they are releasing stuff as they go and keeping the website fresh by having new content. What's the big deal?

Just this week they added a new podcast.

Geeze, the new site must have really spoked you guys over at small dead animals, you all spent an entire week finding ridiculous, stupid "flaws" in the new site.

Overcompensation much?

LOL ... you folks are great ... great comments!

Our membership is in fact quite strong and growing rapidly (frightening some of the old guard in other parties). There are a couple of reasons why our membership level is higher than other parties memberships - many of those reasons are political and some just very plain simple truths.

The SDAP is currently in the process of setting up a dedicated/hosted website that does not rely on no-cost blogs and calendars (we will still be posting to the google blogs and calendars eventually however).

Great postings Giant Political Mouse - we read your blog regularly.

Hope everyone likes our adspots - we will be adding more soon and we value your input.

It was fun picking through the flaws in Oh Media's CMS. Must be a pretty proud lot having their badge on a half completed site being operated by a bunch of inexperienced new media wanna-bes who can't figure out how to fill in the blanks.

Oh yeah, real worried about the NDP running a half ass completed web site that the majority of their old guard will never read, let alone comprehend. They are better off scaring the crap out of little old ladies with Evil TILMA old school print media.

Many of you on the left have barely figured out how to use the free tools like blogspot, let alone run a real web site with a real domain name. At best the left could be better described as over-zealous script kiddies.

This coming from a guy who doesn't run his own blog or have any "new media" credentials other than he can post on other people's blogs.

Yep, whoop it up guys, you can see another loss coming down the pike and it is driving you crazy.

John Murney said...

I don't believe for a second that the 'SDAP' even has 50 members, let alone 36000.
50 might even be high.

Citizen Wilson said...

GPM, how soon you forget http://www.iheartregina.com

You think the Party looked 'in house' first? Your Dipper Masters consider my 'new media' accomplishments desirable enough for recruitment overatures.

Yes I can. No I won't. Thanks for asking. Bye.

Giant Political Mouse said...

My apologies. You do have a blog, and whats that....Oh, you can embed YouTube in it!

Wow. I am sorry I ever questioned your New Media Creditials.

As for the party approaching you do do the new website. I guess I just don't believe it. Sorry.
