Southack and I had a conversation a long time ago about Political Judo. That is the act of taking our political opponents momentum and using it against them.
So: I just had a thought. If the Oregon occupiers are occupying a National Wildlife REFUGE, are they not now REFUGEES?
Shouldn't they be getting money and housing from the Catholic organizations the Fedguv is helping to settle Refugees?
Everyone should refer to them as the Oregon Refugees from now on, everywhere they go. POLITICAL JUDO, BABY! Use the momentum of the word 'Refugee' against the left.
#OregonRefugees
Political Judo.
I already posted if they had just called themselves “Occupy-Oregon” the narrative would be different.
Nice one.
#OregonRefugees, baby. It’s a meme who’s time has come!
It’s a thread. It needs to be. :)
Hey Laz! You may be on to sump’in.
BTW! Are you behavin’ yourself? :-)
BTW I never EVER forgot that conversation. I kept that concept of Political Judo with me, ever since. It is a useful tool.
Always. :)
GREAT THINKING, LAZ! They should have consulted with you, before getting so deep into this.
I am always for hire! :)
But no one ever hires me. :(
Naw. At the most fundamental level political judo requires acknowledgement from your opponent that they’ve been judoed. That involves them recognizing their hypocrisy on the matter. Our opponents do not. It also requires a referee (read: the American public) to adjudicate such a move. A perfect example is using a judo-like move to take homophobe and transform it into hoplophobe, or christophobe for that matter. Other than making us feel cute about our cleverness it is an ineffective tactic. Satisfy yourself with the binary of hitting harder than they do. Be willing to go where they won’t.
The underlying assumption to all of this is that there is still a propaganda war to be fought.
Que Tom Petty .. NO. I Don’t want to live like a refugee..
What did BLM give YOU for Xmas :-?
God bless humble souls.

Always someone to poop on any idea I ever have. I’ve been expecting you. :)
I say give it a whirl. If nothing else it will set the liberals teeth on edge.
Now settled in at the Bitter Clingers Safe Space.
It was a great conversation! Good give and take. Your idea about giving away federal land for Black Reparations as a way to get federal land back into the private market is still relevant today, a couple of decades after we discussed it.
Well, I certainly don't want to be Mr. Poopy Pants and far be it from me to contradict The Great Laz. So run with it. Maybe it'll get some traction. May the Force be with you! :)

The peace-loving libs on Huffpo are going BONKERS about this, demanding they be KILLED...
Meanwhile, on Twitter, they are calling them:
