“this parallels Obama’s latest attack on Romney as being this “other” Romney”
“They always accuse their opposition of what they themselves are are about and doing (their MO)”
Another example of this:
Remember all of the accusations from the left accusing GWB as being a puppet, and the puppet masters were Cheney, etc.?
The left accused Republicans, yet it’s obvious obama IS a puppet - and everyone who watched the debate understands this. I believe that’s a huge part of the anger currently on display.
I just don’t understand WHY they do this. I don’t know if it is psychological projection and they do not know they are doing it, or if it is something done intentionally. If intentional, I don’t get how it is supposed to work for them. Extremely Progressive types in my personal life do this very same thing. It is as if they have no boundary to realize that they are a separate person from the group.It is like there simply exists two piles of characteristics, one called faults, the other attributes, and they can just glom onto what they want and disown, toss off what they don’t want.
