I don't doubt for one minute that Pelosi had a plan to create a news event when they walked out into the crowd. They knew the press would follow what ever bait they threw out there even if the crowd didn't bite. It didn't work as well as they wanted it to. They didn't even get a nibble from the protesters but they ran with it anyway. They had to get the story off of them so they slimed the tea party.
We have to get smarter as to how we operate. Taking a page from the civil rights movement would be a good place to start.
You see, people respond to images and the public now has the image of black leaders “bravely” confronting the angry crowd and facing the taunts hurled at them. Of course, this isn’t the truth, but that really doesn’t matter because that’s how it had been portrayed.
Consider the same image of Nancy with her oversize gavel leading her sycophants through the crowd with the protesters turning their backs in silence with a sign on each back that read “they won’t listen” or “ignored, but not forgotten.” I’m not good at this, but you can get the picture. Another idea would be for the 10,000+ to lie down during the Pelosi PR march, each protester with a sign that read “death panel victim.” A little dramatic, but let’s put them on defense and try to make them look bad.
We have to learn to hold our fire, work smarter and let the left hang themselves. They really are their own worst enemies, but we keep getting in the way of their own demise.
