As an aside, has anyone besides myself noticed the unusually short duration of the West/Wasserman-Schultz celebrity death-match? That ought to be an instructive example for other republican politicos.
After Col. West’s broadside, Little Debbie ran to her feminist sisters and the MSM to crank up the liberal outrage Wurlitzer to flog and hammer Allan West into the usual cringing, blubbering, grovelling, kowtowing Pubbie man-pulp. Only the target of their ire refused to play along, confess wrongdoing and beg forgiveness. Isn’t it amazing that the whole ginned-up controversy suddenly dropped off the front pages after barely two days of histrionic shrieking once it became plain that West was refusing to back down?
I think other conservative players should draw a lesson from this. The liberal smear machine only works if the victim co-operates. Otherwise, every time the libs charge racism/sexism, scream and jump around and it doesn’t have the desired effexct, they lose their power to intimidate.
Good point. Yes that whole thing fizzled out pretty quickly. I agree that others should take a lesson from this, but the publicity overload on the debt ceiling debate and credit downgrade probably sucked the oxygen out of the harpies’ publicity plans.
Profound! Like Rush says: you fight absurdity with absurdity - IOW, ridicule. Alinsky knew this, also! Alinsky knew this because he knew that the Left would offer more absurdity than his adversaries.
The left has taken full advantage of "white guilt". But their comes a time when the grandsons of "white guilt" don't feel the guilt. That time is coming of age.
