The Playbook-
There exists a literal play book of tactics that many politicians and much of today’s media use with but one purpose… To sway public opinion and win at all costs! This treatise contains a very specific set of rules and tactics that were created NOT for effective debate, but for effective lies, spin and obfuscation. No Truth Required.
Below are a myriad of examples of how past victims and present day targets continue to be affected, if not ruined by these disgusting tactics.
Every one of us sees it happening every day… But not all of us are aware of what we are seeing… the playbook being put into action. How it happens…
*No matter the merits or nature of the policy put forth or the integrity of the commenter, unless it originates from a member of their “team“, it is attacked as stupid, heartless, or even evil… Then come unyielding mischaracterizations and non stop repetition... it is soon believed by much of the public.
THE BIG LIE!
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED… The VERY same phrase being constantly repeated by every network and politician? If this were just a coincidence, different phrases would be used that conveyed the same idea. But what we hear is the exact, verbatim identical phrase used over and over…
An unfortunate aspect of the human condition is that if a statement is heard often enough and from enough different sources, it becomes intellectually implanted which leads and believed to be true by much of the public. As a result, lies are often believed and ignorance and hate is spread.
ACCORDING TO THE PLAYBOOK, NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS!
Winning with False Criminal Charges
We’ve all seen how politicians and media often have no compunction about destroying opponents or those with opposing views with assertions of immorality. But it gets much worse.
Below are numerous examples of how prior to an election or confirmation, prosecutors and politicians often conspire to bring empty, false CRIMINAL charges and allegations against conservative opposition politicians and leaders. It doesn’t matter if the allegations are true or whether the charges stick. The goal is to simply cast a disturbing stinky dark cloud upon the individual long enough to destroy their reputation, career or deny their appointment. If the charge happens to be true, so much the better… but it usually they aren’t and either way… they just don’t care.
THE NORMAL OUTCOME
In fact, usually these despicable charges rarely stick, and are ”OFTEN” tossed right out of court… but the stink over the candidate and election lingers just long enough for the liberals to get another win based on lies.
Smears, accusations, indictments, etc… Only to later have the criminal charges dismissed, the accused found not guilty, acquitted, or the charges actually tossed out of court before the trial even begins… on the rare occasions there is a conviction, it’s usually overturned on appeal… But always after the election has concluded and the democrat candidate prevailed! It’s what they do… And precisely, what they’ve been trying to do to Trump since BEFORE the election!
Despicable tactics… but effective. It’s hard to properly campaign for your Senate seat when you are forced to defend your character or defend your freedom in court. Does this sound familiar? No? Read on…
WHERE DID SUCH DESPICABLE TACTICS COME FROM?
Saul Alinsky, a liberal icon who authored the game plan, “Rules for Radicals”. The Rules, is basically a play book of tactics for organizers and leftists politicians for use in destroying the status quo and winning at all costs. It is a treatise with a very specific set of 12 rules and tactics that were created not for effective debate, but for effective lies, spin and obfuscation. In fact Obama taught a course on it when at Harvard and Hillary Clinton did her thesis on Alinsky.
Rules for Radicals has become the mainstay of liberal politics.
MOST OFTEN USED ARE RULES #5 AND #12.
Complete rules can be Found here.
Whether you realize if or not, you’ve seen them in action before. Actually, in today’s environment, if you watch almost any liberal speak, you are probably seeing the rules in action… Just turn on the TV.
*RULE #5*
If you were to analyze virtually any political controversy or debate, you will hear the liberal spouting some combination of this rule… Irrespective of the issue is, don’t actually logically discuss it, don’t calmly, honestly debate… Just Attack!
- Tax Policy Issue? Attack the conservatives just wants to give a gift to the rich at the expense of the poor.
- Budget Issue? Conservatives don’t care about the poor or needy and couldn’t care less if they starve.
- Want to protect our borders? Conservatives are racists.
Regardless of the issue, the response will be more of an attack than a discussion.
RULE #5 IN ACTION
*No matter the nature of the policy, turn it into an attack!*
Even the most noble of goals or policies are can be turned upside down into an attack against a political opponent. How? Characterize or Just lie about it!
A prime example:
Do you remember that in the presidential campaign, in which, Mitt Romney compiled a folder containing scores of resumes of qualified women to fill important positions within his administration? His goal was to lead the charge for women’s equality. Isn’t that EXACTLY what liberals say needs to be done? Even if not, what could conceivable be improper with this goal?
*What did the Dems do?*
They used it as if he were berating, diminishing and even objectivizing women! All you heard from the democratic leaders was a constant refrain of accusations regarding the disgusting and improper “Romney’s folder full of women”! *they used his goal to lift women up, as a sledge hammer to knock him down!* THAT IS WHAT DEMS AND THE ALINSKY METHODS DO!
DURING THE SAME CAMPAIGN:
Harry Reid, the Senate Majority Leader got on the floor of the senate and stated we now know that Mitt Romney has not paid any taxes for the last TEN YEARS! Furthermore, he state Romney has prove that he paid taxes, bu he can’t because he didn’t! The goal was to tap into the class warfare to enrage citizens because they pay taxes even though this super rich elitist does not.
Certainly no one of the stature of the Senate Majority Leader would never tell such a bald faced lie? Surely there was some truth to it, right?
When he was asked about that statement and other’s that were untrue he said “It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks… Romney didn’t win did he?”. So much for honesty or integrity. For Democrat politicians the ends justify the means…
*To Dem leaders, TRUTH DOESN’T MATTER, INTEGRITY DOESN’T MATTER, FACTS DON’T MATTER… ONLY POWER MATTERS*
*RULE #12 IN ACTION*
*Rule #12* “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” It’s hard to argue your case or promote your candidacy , when you are forced to defend your character or your freedom in court. Find a way to bring slanderous accusations or actual criminal charges against your opponent. Do you think they are above using these despicable tactics?
*Think about it*… How many republican leaders can you think of that were hit with charges of immorality, misconduct, illegality, or even an actual indictment just prior to an important election??? Then later have the charges dismissed, found not guilty, acquitted or overturned on appeal… *after the election???* Does this sound familiar?
The charges may not stick, and are ”often” tossed out of court… but the stink of the election lingers just long enough for the liberals get another win based on lies.
How RULE #12 was used in just the past couple of elections.
*Ted Stevens Alaska*.
Had multiple charges of fraud and abuse of funds brought against him and endured an actual wrongful conviction a scant 2 weeks prior to the election. His conviction was then overturned after it was found the prosecutors had engaged in “_the systematic withholding of exculpatory evidence that *showed the allegations were false and that they knowingly allowed false testimony to be presented at trial*.
The prosecutorial actions were so egregious that the judge actually held the prosecutors in contempt of court and found them guilty of “reckless professional misconduct”… but they were not fired! Why not? *The decision to not fire was made by the _Obama_ Justice Department*.
Yes, the conviction was overturned, but not before Stevens lost his long held Senate seat to a Democrat. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123863051723580701 The defeat of Stevens and his replacement with a Democrat was instrumental in the passage of Obama Care. *How convenient?!*
*Bob Packwood Oregon*–
He properly had issues due to minor sexual harassment. But Republicans forced him to resign. (isn’t that what Dems do with their bad apples?). NOT– Clinton had engaged in serial sexual harassment, lying under oath, allegations of rape… the democrats didn’t just continue to support him, they continually pretended it was nothing and was just about personal sex. See the irony? *I mean hypocrisy?* For liberals, only the retention of power matters.
*Sarah Palin Alaska*–
Immediately after becoming the running mate of John McCain in 2008 was hit with 14 various ethics charges. (Quite a coincidence?). Eventually she was acquitted of every single one of them! But the election was lost… Sound Familiar?
*Tom Delay*-
House Majority Leader. After a failed attempt to indict, the second attempt was successful because the attorneys came in with “additional evidence”. Delay was convicted of money laundering and conspiracy charges; then acquitted due to egregious prosecutorial misconduct. This speaks volumes to the “new evidence”. the charges were bogus, but it cost the Republicans one of their most effective leaders. Again, right and wrong do not matter… only power matters to liberals.
*Kay Bailey Hutchinson*-
Texas Senator was indicted and the case against her imploded as the judge decided the case was so bad he kicked it out of the court room.
Governor Rick Perry-
charged with “abuse of power” because of a Veto…(district attorney didn’t get what she wanted so she indicted the governor). It was overturned in 2016. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/02/24/charges-against-rick-perry-dismissed-by-texas-high-court-on-constitutional-grounds/.
DONALD TRUMP-
Wasn’t it quite a coincidence that 20 years after the fact, women were coming out of the woodwork to say TRUMP basically abused them? I wonder why they all waited so long??? Could someone have paid them or promised them something, like fame and fortune? Surely not! That would be dishonest and unethical, wouldn’t it? Would liberal politicians really do that?
The point is… the democratic party leaders and politicians are hypocrites with little care for honesty, “good policy” or integrity…
(Note: I say “good policy”, because they may be dishonest, but they are not stupid. They have to know what works and doesn’t… But they don’t care. They care about re-election.
History has proven what works and what doesn’t. See http://allsolutionsnetwork.org/blog/a-tale-of-two-leaders-and-two-recoveries and How liberal policies caused the financial meltdown. …but often, what works, http://allsolutionsnetwork.org/blog/the-reality-of-taxation doesn’t fit the narrative they use to get elected… and as I think we’ve established, it’s all about the votes.
Speaking of Votes… Does voter fraud exist? Liberals say no… Why? http://wp.me/p2EGlL-3U3
Please, don’t misunderstand. Nothing above is meant to indicate that I believe conservatives are perfect. They aren’t. But, the fact is, you rarely if ever see these tactics coming from conservatives.
BILL CLINTON?
- NO.. Bill Clinton is not an example of a false unwarranted accusation. He was fined $90,000 and lost his license to practice law because of his perjury regarding Monica Lewinski.
- Obama’s citizenship controversy? No.
- True, a small portion of the public continue to believe he was not born in the US. However, that was never the case for most conservative officials or leaders.
- Once there was reasonable evidence that contradicted the statements of non US birth that were made by not only his grandmother his brother, as well, even the hold outs dropped it. Why the difference? Liberal politicians rarely drop anything regardless of the evidence.
- Because for Conservatives, facts usually matter. For Liberals, only power matters.
*No Honesty, No Integrity… consistent agendas that have at their core nothing other than a quest for the acquisition and maintenance of pure, unadulterated power. Just turn on the TV. See for yourself.
My question to all Americans, HOW CAN AMERICAN, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, SUPPORT THIS PARTY?*
