The difference, Mark, is that the GOP House members who voted for the bill are traitors (if not to the country, then certainly to honesty and common sense), whereas General Petraeus is not. Get it now?

The article said — My main point in raising the issue was not that the word choice itself was grammatically incorrect, however, but that it is evidence of a growing number of people on the Right succumbing to the temptation to use the same vile rhetorical weapon so often deployed by the Left....

Ummmm..., I can attest to that, right here on Free Republic, with some posters responding to my posts... LOL...
You ask what I was saying? Well, glad to oblige...
While trying to talk some “sensibility” into some posters here, about the craziness of the idea of tanks surrounding the White House and evicting Obama, or about the other idea of some judge in the U.S. sending over a U.S. Marshall to the Oval Office to arrest Obama — you should hear what the responses are... :-)
I mean, “talking sense” and pointing out the method for getting rid of a President is Impeachment and Conviction — is enough to get you “tarred and feathered” right here on Free Republic... LOL...
So..., yes, I’ve sorta noticed the “slide to the left”... indeed...

The GOP needs to learn how to fight. How to spit. How to gouge eyes. How to kick the enemy below the belt. Until the GOP starts fighting like a wildcat, we have no hope.

I believe Alinksy also said the enemy should be held to the highest of his own standards, else he's a hypocrite.
And clown's like this play right into his hand

Sorry Mark, but if you get out of your little DC cocoon and deal with the public (ie, the vulgar mob), that is exactly how they communicate and think. In some of the lowest basest terms. Appealing to their “intellectual” won’t work because it just isn’t there.
To: steve-b
Q. What is the difference between folks on the Right calling the eight Republican House members who voted for Obama-Waxman-Markey the "cap-and-traitors," and the infamous "General Betrayus" ad bought by the Left's Moveon.org in The New York Times.
A. One is true the other isn't.

Alinsky’s methods work for those on the right as well as on the left. Maybe better, Obama does not handle ridicule very well and to be laughed at would seriously unhinge him.
I’m not advocating foul language, but I do think that an activist on the right should bone up on Saul’s work.

I think we should ADOPT the Saul Alinsky playbook, not RESIST it.

Oh..., have no fear... they’re already learning how to do that to each other here, first... LOL...

Mark, you stay in camp and watch the food stores. Let others deal with a problem..... your way of thinking will surely cause all of us to pay dearly for generations.
If anyone or anything comes into camp, blow this whistle while running so we know it's you.

different rules for different people. If its an R, its a scandal, if its a D its ignored.
I am sick and tired of the double standards

If the choice is tanks on the streets of American cities oppressing the people and tanks around the WH. Guess which I will choose in a heartbeat?

I agree that we ought not use silly and foolish terms of opprobrium simply for the purpose of mocking our adversaries on the Left. I would far prefer we use accurate and honest descriptions as opposed to
ad hominem attacks on one hand, or euphemisms on the other.
For that reason and as an instructive example, I would never refer to the New York Times as either "idiotic" or "misguided", when the truest appellation would be "traitorous".
