Rasmussen is reporting that which we the people tell him we think in answer to his questions.
The Left owns the MSM which is concerned with filling our heads with that which the Left wants us think.
Seems to me that the Left is rightfully dismayed at the results of their investment, and striking out as only the Left knows how. They blame something other than themselves for their failures, thus Rasmussen gains their Ire.
Rasmussen is getting Alinskied:
RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Of these, Rules 4, 5, 8, and 12 have been used to greatest effect by the Left.
“If your opponent [has a hot temper], seek to irritate him. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared; appear where you are not expected.” (Book I, Verses 22-24)”
Barack Obama taught a class on using Alinsky principles to keep the nation in chaos. After all, it’s easier to get radical policies enacted during a crisis. The Rasmussen attack is par for the course.
