Excellent post! You have him exactly pegged.
It makes me think, so how do you deal with a mau-mau’er?
It seems that mau-mau’ers support each other, like an unwritten code. The MSM are mau-mau’ers. Trumka and the Unions are mau-mau’ers.
It’s like a “coalition of the incompetent”. They get what they want through fear, but they are afraid, themselves, because they know that if you are ever not afraid, they will be out of a job.
To defeat the mau-mauers, the flak-catchers must stand firm in their resolve, must put out successful PR defending their position, and they must stand together with other past, present, and potential flak-catchers to support one another.
This is not easy, as the state-run media who actively supports the mau-mauers and the protests themselves (not to mention the threat of damage to your business, home or self...remember how they’ll bus in protesters to the private homes of flak-catchers) is indeed a formidable threat to resist. It is far easier simply to concede and hope the accusations and threats go away.
It would only take a few victories to reverse the tide.
The NRA has done a pretty good job in the past few months of resisting the mau-mauers. Despite a full-fledged frontal assault by Barack Obama and Shakedown, Inc., public opinion defends the 2nd Amendment and has placed gun-control as #18 on a list of 21 issues that should receive top priority by the federal government.
