Video Game Targets 'Tea Party Zombies,' Fox News Personalities

[GermanSynergy]

Straight from Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinsky.

Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people.

…The third rule is: Whereever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.

…the fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.

…the fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.

…The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. — P.126-129

The Left has been using these tactics for decades.

The basis for all of this comes from the so-called left’s world view, they really and truly think they can achieve utopia. Of course their version…….
If you knew you had the answers to all of society’s ills, what lie would you not tell? What crime would you not commit to achieve your goal?

So when one side has been playing Gotcha for over 30 years with the MSM the other side isn't supposed to use the same tactic against them? Wrong.

Awww, I'm sorry. Was the big bad news media mean to you? You gonna cry about it?

What the hell are we, 5? As I stated before, everyone's a hypocrit (at least in the eyes of others) so playing the same stupid game of "Gotcha" is just as special olympics worthy when you do it as when they do it; "but they started it" is neither an excuse, nor a justification.

There is actually something that matters here, synthesizing reasons to declare a Liberal Hypocrisy Conspiracy(!) isn't it.

President Obama is also entirely worthy of criticism for failing to rebuke Hoffa's comments.

Obama isn't in any position to rebuke anyones comments based on the things he said said.

Clarify for me. When you say "he", are you referring to Obama or Hoffa?

[Belmont31R]

Martial metaphors have been part and parcel of political rhetoric forever. To suggest that either political party is going to set aside inflammatory and/or incendiary language as they strive to gin up their respective bases is simply naive.

Both sides are equally hypocritical and both sides never fail to engage in some self-serving demagoguery on the issue whenever they spot an opportunity.

What else are they going to do? Start telling the American people the truth?

For President Obama to give the speech he did in Phoenix after the Gifford's shooting and then stroll onto the same stage after Hoffa's introductory remarks without calling him out is pretty lame.

The difference is the Democrats are the FIRST ones to go out crying about the incendiary language. Do you remember Pelosi's tears when she was still SOTH and talking about the Tea Party? Within mere hours of Gabriel Giffords was shot they were out there blaming the right wing and suggesting it was another McVeigh right wing attack.


Ive never seen Republicans run with the same fervor as democrats do when it comes to this type of stuff.

Obama

Obama

Then I can't really argue with that, except to say that even though it'd be borderline political suicide (or maybe not so borderline), it'd still be right.

Reread the thread. You are actually the one crying about it. Lefties use a tactic then try to demagogue their opponents for starting to use the same tactic against them.

What the hell are we, 5?

You might be. Most adults seem to understand why a biased media is bad for the republic.

As I stated before, everyone's a hypocrit...

You can state that as many times as you want and it will still be a bullshit rationalization. The point is not whether or not politicians from all parties get caught not practicing what they preach from time to time, it's the double standard applied when they do.

It would be the pot calling the kettle black.
