Reply #3: Modus Operandi...Not What I Say But What I Say [View All]

[KharmaTrain]

Listen to these disemblers at work. They're masters of symantics...twisting the language in a way to get out the hatred without themselves being held responsible for saying it.

Lines like "I have it on good authority", "it's common knowledge", "i've seen reasearch that indicates" and the infamous "according to an undisclosed source". They'll also cite unknown authors or articles from wierd-sounding Newspapers and websites. It all creates this aura of "credibility" that is used to propel every stereotype and divisive point the Right wing loves to play with.

The polarization of the past few years has pushed the right wing into greater justifications and reaffirmations of their conveluted and immoral "philosophies". They've been twisted and manipulated by the fundies, the chickenhawks, the corporates and others so that the extremism now shows as each attempt to regroup requires harsher rhetoric. Remember, this is the party of fear, and when their backs are up against the wall, this will be the card they play to hold onto power.
