To comment on "You didn't build that business yourself"
Ignorant jug-eared communist moron: “You didn’t get there on your own.”
This is projection of biblical proportion, and further evidence that President Barack Hussein Mountain Dew Obama Comacho has absolutely NO IDEA how the capitalist system works or why it has been infinitely more successful than ANY other economic system.
Gretchen made the point after Trump left that 0 was accusing others of what he was doing himself. Someone should enlighten her on where that technique orginated: Stalin/Marx.
Do you have the exact quote and source so we can forward it to her.
Reminds me of the scene in Young Guns II Where Billy said to Chisum “the way I see it, you owe me (some amount of money - I can’t recall at this point; perhaps $1.50) for each one of your cattle we didn’t steal”.
Soooo descriptive!
I’m far from an expert on Marx or Stalin. But the technique sounds more like something from Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals. Maybe Alinsky got it from one of them?
Found several similar on net, but have not found a direct quote.
“Accuse others of what you do.” - Attributed to Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx
but IIRC it is also in the RULES FOR RADICALS book.
