Birtherizing the Russophobes...for those active on social media...

First, apologies for the vanity. If you look at my posting history, you'll see that I don't post a whole lot of articles, much less vanity posts. So, please forgive me for that.

[FLAMING DEATH]

I got to thinking about this whole Russian thing. It's ridiculous, and we all know it. But, we need to start shutting it down. But how?

I thought that the best way would be to come up with a term...a near-pejorative that we can just call libs who want to whine and wail about the Russians.

If you doubt the effectiveness of this, think of how well the Left was able to shut down the mention of Obama's "origins" with the term "Birther". Conservatives, for better or worse, became reluctant to state opinions about Obama for fear of being ridiculed as a birther.

Well, there's no reason that we can't do the same to the Left.

What's the one thing we can do to really anger them? Call them the thing they hate. McCarthy.

We should stop arguing with leftists on social media by labeling them Neo-McCarthyists. (I can't take credit for that...a Reddit poster came up with that in a discussion we were in. But, it is beautiful).

So, if you're in, start right now. If you interact with and debate those on social media regarding politics, as soon as they bring up the Russians, just label them as Neo-McCarthyists and dismiss them outright. If they persist, tell them that you don't deal in conspiracy theories. You might also throw in that they are perpetuating a new Red Scare and that they'll have our children huddling under desks waiting for the bomb if they keep it up. Et cetera...but don't debate them.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but I didn't know of another way to do it. I don't think I've ever posted a vanity before, so again, please forgive me.

Thanks for reading.

Russophobes is fine, but I think Neo-McCarthyists stings a little more.

My title is confusing. Darn you Freerepublic for not having an edit feature.

For my entire life, the Left has told me how bad McCarthy was. To be associated with him would be repugnant to them.

Just dismiss them as Neo-McCarthyists.

[FLAMING DEATH]

Thanks.

For my entire life, the Left has told me how bad McCarthy was. To be associated with him would be repugnant to them.

They hate him because he was right. I will not use his name as a pejorative term.

Russophobe is pretty good, though.

[FLAMING DEATH]

Either or.

Just repeat it. A lot.

Lots of stuff about Red Scares and children huddling under desks.

I like it.

[FLAMING DEATH]

Thanks. Keep checking back and bumping this thread, y’all. That’s the way we’re going to get this started.

One more bump.

And a funny link I had to share.

I LOVE IT.

Doesn’t parody have to be identifyably different from reality?

Seriously, though...thanks for that...hilarious!

I think if you want to really play the games the left plays, you broaden the racism to all slavic peoples, hence slavophobes, hence why they hate Melania, and as we know, the NTY guy called her a whore.

Also I think recently we have Soros in conjunction with the Zero state department funding intrusion in Macedonian (slavic) elections/affairs.

So if you WANT to play the left game, you turn them into haters of an entire ethnic group, and you brand it racism against slavs, and misogyny against Melania, combined. Also you explain their boycotts of Ivanka's business, Rosie calling Barron autistic etc.

I'm not advocating this ... it is, however, exactly what they would do.

Next you would go out and gather tiny heavily questionable anecdotal instances where lefties could plausibly be accused of expressing this racism, and you weigh your victims such that they are usually women.

Slavic Christian women might be a good choice here.

It wouldn't work because you'd need 20 lying alphabet stations to start using the new word / theme 1000's of times a day on all media.

This is what they do, how they think. They are disgusting.

I’m hitting Twitter right now.

Birthers came from Truthers. So, we need something short and pithy with an er ending. Since a nickname for Russians is Russkies, I propose calling them Russkers

[FLAMING DEATH]

You are right, of course.

No reason our tactics can’t morph over time. In much the same way that they label anyone who opposes immigration as anti-Mexican, we could label anyone who engages in Russian hysteria as anti Slavic.

And go outward from there.

[BlueDragon]

No

I want the rope they are trying to fit around Jeff Session's neck to tighten around somebody else's neck.

“@NancyPelosi is a #NeoMcCarthyite #Russophobe who sees a Cold War threat behind every blade of grass.”

I did this for about 4 or 5 prominent Democratic congrescritters who are calling for Sessions resignation.
