Currently David Axelrod is desperately trying to make his counter part Rick Davis the enemy. This is done for one simple reason. It has worked in the past. When the Washington game players have wanted something, they put pressure on the staff of the politician. The staffer wants to be liked and have access to the other players in the game. Without that access to the other players in the game he cannot get in the game. The politician will only hire staffers who are in the game. Obamas staffer is putting pressure on McCains staffer so that Rick Davis will change McCains game not for what it will do for McCain, but what it will do for Rick Davis. This tactics has worked in the past with staffers to Orrin Hatch, Trent Lott, Bob Dole, Bill Frist, Dick Lugar and a whos who of Republicans in the US Senate.
McCain did not bring a knife fighter to the game. He brought a hockey mom with lipstick. She was not coming to play the game. She was coming to destroy the game.
The Obama camp Alinsky organizers violated a cardinal rule of organizing, as described by Shel Trapp above. Their mistakes in playing the game have turned the game upside down. The Obama organizers are no longer the rescuers of the victims. They are now the enemy, the oppressors who victimize women, the oppressors who victimize people in small towns who cling to their guns and religion.
Thesis. The classical game is played between domineering fathers and teenage daughters where there is a sexually inhibited mother. Father comes home from work and finds fault with daughter, who answers impudently; ... Their voices rise and the clash becomes more acute. The outcome depends on who has the initiative. There are three possibilities: (a) father retires to his bedroom and slams the door (b) daughter retires to her bedroom and slams the door (c) both retire to their respective bedrooms and slam the doors. In any case, then end of a game of "Uproar" is marked by a slamming door. "Uproar" offers a distressing but effective solution to the sexual problems that arise between fathers and teen-age daughters in certain households.
Thank me!
Mind you, the number of El Cid (and assorted slam-titled blog posts), are growing at memeorandum. Eish.
OT:
The expected statement of the day via AP columnist:
“This is a shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law. The matter has been turned over to the appropriate authorities and we hope that anyone in possession of these e-mails will destroy them,” the McCain campaign said in a statement.
The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply.
- Hmmm... I wonder what would happen should some authority hacked their system to find out? Could you hear the screams? Bush, spying on Americans, Fascist, Karl Rove... blah, blah.
-Meanwhile, they give you more info (idiots, in case someone missed it and may need ideas to get in another account):
Palin herself used “gov.sarah” in one of her e-mail addresses, but the hackers targeted her “gov.palin” account. Her husband used “fek9wnr” in his address. “Fe” is the representation for iron, and “k9” is an abbreviation for canine. Todd Palin was the winner of the grueling Iron Dog snowmobile race, and “fek9wnr” also is Todd Palin’s vehicle license tag in Alaska.
-The end lets us know who we’re dealing with:
(This version CORRECTS Corrects in 7th graf that hackers targeted ‘gov.palin’ account sted ‘gov.sarah’ account.)
- Need I say more?
