An adjunct corollary to
Mankiewicz's meme is Democrats
will almost always accuse Republicans of that which they themselves are
doing, and when caught will heap ridicule on the evidence.
A little bit of all this can be found in
Gawker's The Right-Wing Nut’s Guide to Egypt. This attempt at
sarcastic put-down actually provides a pretty good road map to what's
going on.
- Bill Ayers taught the Muslim Brotherhood how to
protest
- Players: Bill Ayers, Code Pink,
President Obama, the Muslim Brotherhood
- President Obama secretly facilitated and/or
encouraged an Islamist takeover of Egypt
- Players: President Obama,
nonspecific Islamists
- Escalating anarchy in Egypt is merely a prelude to
revolt in the streets in the U.S.
- Players: President Obama's obvious
authoritarianism, the people, guns, Facebook
- (No mention of Code
Pink's history of rabble rousing; George Soros not mentioned at all)
- The Egyptian revolution will result in a dictatorship
- Players: The secret Egyptian
desire for despotism, the inexorable march of history
- (no mention of Muslim Brotherhood)
- The Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to enact Sharia
law in the United States
- Players: The Muslim Brotherhood,
"front organizations," Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan, Allah
One of the things Gawker misses (along with George Soros) is Google's
involvement, very important now that "Activist's
tears may be game changer in Egypt." That "activist" is Wael
Ghonim, Google’s head of marketing for the Middle East, and who flew
into Egypt to join the opposition to Mubarak. Ghonim
is now reported to be the “spokesman” for the opposition. Ahem.

Remember when the Washington Post became "the newspaper that brought down a President"?
ReplyDeleteGoogle wants to be the company that brought down a government. They see a story where the internet brings freedom and democracy to Egypt, and Google is right in the middle of it.
If the Egyptian debacle continues according to plan, at some point the islamists will determine Wael Ghonim is no longer useful, just an idiot, brand Ghonad a filthy capitalist and hand him his head.
ReplyDeleteEven if he escapes that end, if he stays past the end of the Uhbama regime, he won't be allowed back in the US, which would be fine by me. We've got to at least shine a light on the enemy within, and preferably, disable them.

Same thing happend in Iran a few decades back.
ReplyDeleteEvidently no one sees how well that went.
