For Liberalism, It's Always About "The Narrative"

After members of the Fellowship of Ferguson Fabricators, also known as the Congressional Black Caucus, gathered on the floor of the U.S. House on Monday to showcase the St. Louis Rams’ new touchdown signal, otherwise known as the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” gesture, Thomas Sowell likened the display to Nazi propaganda.

I don’t usually like allusions to Nazism tossed around in our political debates—it’s too often used simply as hyperbole—but liberals today certainly are following the messaging strategy famously articulated by Joseph Goebbels: repeat a lie often enough and loud enough and people will believe it.

Democrat representative Al Green brashly argued that, “It’s not enough for things to be right, they must also look right.”
I live in Al Green’s district, and he even obscures the truth. What he really meant was “It doesn’t matter that things are wrong, they only have to look right.”

You signed up three weeks ago, and are just now getting around to posting?

So tell us what the Nazis and the Congressional Black Caucus have to do with the Religion Forum?

The amazing thing is their calling conservatives Nazis. They obviously don’t know much about Nazis other than the race angle. The Nazis exploited racial issues, the Jews just happened to be convenient. It’s all in the game of manipulating people, just a different angle but still from the socialist playbook.

I don’t really think this was posted in the wrong forum just to offend you, will it break your heart to cut a new recruit some slack?

Narrative = Lie
