Camerota Counsels Dems: Time to Come Up with 'New Name' for 'Socialist'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/16/2019 8:48:01 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Not just a CNN co-host anymore! Alisyn Camerota is now also serving as a volunteer Democrat strategist. On this morning's New Day, Camerota suggested that in order to avoid being branded by Republicans, Dems should "come up with some sort of new name" for "socialist."

Camerota made her remark in the context of claiming that House GOP minority leader Kevin McCarthy and Sen. Lindsey Graham are trying to redirect the conversation away from President Trump's recent comments about The Squad, and toward the fact that The Squad members are socialists.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Just because they call themselves something else, do we have to go along with it?

Tp paraphrase the Bard, “a skunk by any other name would smell as vile.”

Yep, I vote for “Communist.” Has a nice ring to it.

The good thing is all the Congressional hearings were held back in the 40s and 50s, so there’s no need to have any more of them. It’s a fully government-approved system because all the White Hats were run out of Congress.

New name for socialism?

How about parasitic infestation? Individuals can refer to themselves as parasites.

“Communism is evil”

Seriously? Haven’t you heard all cultures are equally good, all political systems are equally good, we cannot criticize others for their choices. Get with the program!

Many moons ago, I saw a YouTube video of hussein44 saying....”Just relabel and remarket” old, failed ideas.

Leftists have doing that for decades since Marx created the failed cult of leftism.

Pure Alinsky tactics.

“Time to Come Up with ‘New Name’ for ‘Socialist’”

Exactly what the Nazis did when they rebranded it National Socialist, or Bernie Sanders tries to do by calling it Democratic Socialist.

It is an unending quest to fool enough people with the sweet sounding lies of socialism (free stuff!) to seize power.

That is all it ever was, a lie to gain power.

The Dems should hire Naomi Wolf to advise on the new branding. She can dust off her "earth tones" work from 20 years ago for Algore.
Vice President Al Gore paid Wolf thousands of dollars a month for advice on presentation, from the tones of his speeches to the color tones of his wardrobe. The Washington Post relayed that Wolf “has long contended that earth tones are more ‘reassuring’ to audiences’ ” and that she is “the person behind Gore’s recent wardrobe change.”
Her rebranding of "Earth-tone Al" really paid off. Now she can earn some seriously big bucks by making socialism and communism "more reassuring to audiences."

They will call it "social capitalism" and rebrand capitalism into "crony capitalism."

Those will be the two choices: capitalism for the connected or capitalism for the people, which won't be capitalism at all, but they will usurp the word.
