I guess libs only care if it is used against THEM.
And with friends like Khalidi and Ayers, we know exactly why...
Cheers!
Typically, Libs use tactics like that as a matter of course, and about ten times more often than Republicans.
All the hullabaloo over the Patriot Act was an attempt to create sinister Big Brother associations with it that weren’t there, in order to “counter” it with tactics that are supposed to make it look like the Dems are just “protecting themselves”. ‘Tis a farce, but perfected during the Clinton Years. Freud called it “projection”.
One other manifestation of it was Obama’s compulsion to tell you “what they were going to tell you to scare you” about him.(He has a funny name, he doesn’t look like the guys on the currency, etc, etc, barf) Of course no one ever did that or played the race card but him. And THAT particular tactic was given a trial balloon MANY months before Obama was the anointed one in the primaries. Remember Shaheen of Maryland and what he said?
