Paging Mr. Goebbels

Here's yer public option
 How do you respond to these people?


  1. ABC Uses Obama's '9-Month Anniversary' to Tout Popularity Over Republicans     
Anchor Charles Gibson announced “the President has a 57 percent approval rating, his rating rising for the first time since April. And only 20 percent of the country now consider themselves Republican.
 -- 57 percent support the Obama plan's most contentious element - the public option. 

  1. FOX NEWS - Support for Democrats' Health Care Reform Falls to 42 Percent, Poll Shows
A Rasmussen survey released Monday shows 54 percent is opposed to the plans backed by President Obama and Democrats in Congress.


The White House is calling on other news organizations to isolate and alienate Fox News as it sends out top advisers to rail against the cable channel as a Republican Party mouthpiece.

Anyone familiar with Communist regimes knows that one of their standard tactics is to attack their ideological enemies accusing them of all sorts of crimes/dirty tricks etc. Fidel Castro has made an entire career doing it (against the US).

The attacks on FoxNews have the same purpose for the same reasons.

Saul Alinsky:

"13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'...
"...any target can always say, 'Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?' When your 'freeze the target,' you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the 'others' come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...'
"One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other."
(pps.127-134)"

...just sayin'

That's me on the right, out of step with all those MFCS-ers on the left and in the middle.
