A heavily used tactic of this regime is the one of "projection."
As a diversionary, accuse your opponent of exactly what you are doing.

I have never seen such blatant use of this, both by the regime talking-heads and by their media shills, in my 30+ yrs of paying attention to the political game.
It has gone beyond an occasional tactic to become a regular parade of partisan rhetoric.
This has has a slow debilitating effect on the public perception of what is actually going on in the U.S.A. and the world image of the state of the U.S.A.

Yeah, for instance, they have Europe convinced that the Tea Party is some sinister armed Neo-Nazi militia group hell-bent on obstructing everything Obama proposes, reinstating Jim Crow, if not chattel slavery, putting women back in the kitchen (barefoot & pregnant) and consigning seniors to the graveyard.
