Pelosi Says She Plans to Stay in Leadership

[Hekate]

40. We do not "give" them anything. The nature of propaganda is they take any word & twist it...

...until it breaks. You need to look up Newt Gingrich's seminal list of decent words and how to twist them into propaganda. In my own lifetime I watched the decline of the very word "Democrat" until by the year 2000 hearing a Republican political leader say "Democrat" was like an old film of hearing a German say the word "Jew." It only took them 10 years.

Read the scholar George Lakoff on "framing" an argument. Seriously.

They take and take and take. Everything we give up because they've tried to destroy it only means they will come back for something or someone else. They will gnaw Hillary's bones forever. They publish racist smears about the entire Obama family. They attack Pelosi without cause.

Every person and every cause we have ever had becomes filth in their mouths. Do you imagine they will stop because we run someone for office who has not yet been attacked by the RW propaganda machine? Why would they? It works for them.

Every name floated here as a possible presidential candidate is a person with an oppo file just waiting to be deployed, and what the GOP can't find they will invent.

If we do not learn to defend and stand by our own from GOP attacks, we will lose every time, and we will deserve to lose.
