Ann Coulter, in her book Demonic, goes into some detail about “the techniques for inspiring mobs in liberal behavior.” According to Coulter “there are three main elements to putting an idea in a crowd: affirmation, repetition, and contagion.” Coulter also states that “the effects take time.” “Affirmation is the creation of a slogan free of all reasoning and all proof.”
For example: “Romney is the only candidate that can beat Obama” or “Romney is the only candidate that has the organization to take this all the way” or “Newt is unelectable” or “Cain is unelectable” or “Palin is unelectable” or “Newt has too much baggage” or, you pick one.
Coulter continues with “this is one of the surest means of making an idea enter the mind of crowds.” “Affirmation only works if it is constantly repeated and so far as possible in the same terms.” She goes on to state that ‘the power of repetition is due to the fact that the repeated statement is embedded in the long run in those profound regions of our unconscious selves in which the motives of actions are forged. Short slogans endlessly repeated create a current of opinion allowing the powerful mechanism of contagion to operate.” (Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind (Dover, 2002) (1895), 69.)
So, my conclusion is that the Republican Establishment, Coulter herself, as well as many of her fellow elitists, are utilizing those same tactics on WE THE PEOPLE! And a great many of WE THE PEOPLE are falling in line.
Coulter is no better than the left she says she despises.
So she is a 'slut'?
So well stated!
In February 2010 at CPAC, I was sitting in the audience when Ann Coulter declared the following:
“Chris Christy MUST run for President in 2012, because if Mitt Romney is our nominee Obama will have four more years.”
I wonder what Ann got to make her big jump to the Romney camp??
