My skin is too thin, I get p*ssed off sometimes.
I repeated that observation a few minutes ago,
Not the observation that you are thin skinned LOL, I repeated my observations about the secret supporter bot attack strategies in another comment.
I'm not a fan of freepers who put Palin on a pedestal and lash out anyone who feels differently, but to be perfectly honest I was never heard a "And just who do YOU support??" response from a Palinsta if I questioned if she was the best person we could run. If anyone developed this technique, it was the Trumpistas during that whole fad when a bunch of freepers took his "tea party" B.S. seriously and explained to us that he "the only man the guts to take on Obama". I must have had half a dozen Trump fans DEMAND to know who I was supporting because I didn't like The Donald. (ironically, Trump fans are now exhibit A why it's a DUMB idea to hitch your wagon to a famous name floated early on in the campaign season).
The Perry-bots inherited this tradition from Trump fans (there seems to be alot of overlap here, since they were both flavors of the week that fizzled out quickly). Another thing I think the Perry-bots inherited directly from Trump's people is foaming at the mouth and screaming "smear!" , "pure lies!" and "anti-[their candidate] hit piece!" if you quote their OWN candidate's words verbatim and it shows their candidate in a less-than-conservative light. Palinistas don't have this problem, most of the quotes used against Sarah are quoted by liberals from SNL sketches and attributed to Palin ("I can see Russia from my house")
The problem with the "Just who do YOU support" quote is they assume all other conservatives operate them and latch ourselves unto whoever is the current "rising star" in the race. They cannot fathom that other conservatives don't have a "hidden agenda" to work for some candidate and UNLIKE THEM, we take our time before choosing who to vote for.
>> Another one stole is to accuse anyone that is critical of Perry (Palin last year) of being a secret Ron Paul supporter (based on the the Bush-Perry neocon analogy.) The Palinistas now no longer see secret Ron-bots as their threat as Perry-bots do, now they see secret Perry-bots and Mitt-bots everywhere. One of them hit me with that today LOL, this stuff fascinates me << <<
Here's the cute thing about the Ron Paul supporter conspiracy. For over a month now, Perry's supporters have used the talking point that ANY conservative who dislikes Perry must either be A) Ron Paul disruptor, or B) a "purist" who is "waiting for Sarah" and will tear down ANY candidate not named "Sarah Palin"
Unfortunately for them, this whole line of attack fell apart this week because Herman Cain is gaining steam over their beloved Rick Perry and his name ISN'T "Sarah Palin". So now they have to pretend one of their main talking points NEVER happened since it was proven wrong overnight. Apprently they've just decided to substitute the name "Herman Cain" for "Sarah Palin" and they're going to accuse anyone who dislikes Perry of being a Cain supporter as long as he happens to be polling well. I wrote a response critical of Perry on a thread this week and the Perry fan responded with a 5 paragraph anti-Cain rant "explaining" to me why Cain cannot win, even though I haven't endorsed Cain and my post didn't even mention his name or allude to him. So yeah, I guess the reformed Perry talking point is ANYONE who dislikes Perry is a Paul disruptor OR "voting for Cain". They've forgotten the "waiting for Sarah" crowd completely.
There is one technique they inherited directly from the Romney 2008 camp and that's the "you're a mean nasty bigot who will destroy the GOP and alienate the voters we need to WIN if you question our guy's record". The Mitt-bots would use this line of reasoning to accuse anyone who disliked Romney's record of being anti-mormon bigot. The Perry-bots have take this basic premise and greatly enhanced it so now questioning Perry means you're bigoted against EVERYTHING. They have accused freepers critical of Perry of hating... Women, Young Girls, Christians, Texans, Conservatives, States Rights, etc., etc. Pretty soon they'll say we're bigoted against guys with graying hair or people who like ZZ Top.
