Now Musk is a “white nationalist”? Awful low threshold, isn’t it.

Ironic that the libs are attacking an actual African American.

I prefer to think of them as being in goose-step.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target and polarize it." *via Rules for Radicals

The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism (or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.

The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Intensely attack Republicans for doing what you are doing.

The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Do not attempt to explain the insults. Think drive-by shooter.

The Left’s Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.

Repeat

“Pick the target and polarize it.”

Darren Beattie of Revolver.news said he has adopted this method to attack the left. It used to be just going after organizations. Now attacks are focused on a person within the organization.

We have to use Alinsky ourselves just ti start even the playing field.

I will argue that credibility is not an issue. Getting out the anti Musk propaganda is the issue.

The MSM constituents will believe the pure propaganda message regardless of the truth or untruth

To clear up terminology, Elon Musk is white. He was born and raised in South Africa in an all-white family. He can properly be referred to as a “white African-American”......or as a “white”.

Nope. He's African American.

I am partial to Alinsky’s rule to ridicule the enemy.

“Matt Taibbi…what sad, disgraceful downfall,” Daily Beast columnist and New York Times contributor Wajahat Ali posted. “Selling your soul for the richest white nationalist on Earth.”

When the balloon goes up, just knowing this asshat mooselime -- whose parents did a hard 5-year stint for wire fraud -- is going to dissolve into radioactive glass, a smile will cross my lips.

"One part of the story that I do not believe is that Jack Dorsey was out of the loop on the suppression of the laptop information. The NYP was silenced for what? Three weeks? I’m sure Dorsey was aware of such and Musk wants us to believe Dorsey didn’t follow-up and find who made such a decision and why a major newspaper’s story on such an explosive story was banned? Not credible!"

That is exactly correct. Jack is either lying, or so out-of-touch as a CEO/owner that he should be post-facto charged with corporate malfeasance, an in-kind contribution to Biden by prior restraint on the press's access to his social media company.

There are no other possibilities.

Facts float them. He was from Africa. He is now American. He is an African American. He is not white. He is a mottled pink and tan. I am correct. You are not.

“In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. Secrecy and silence are the perpetrator’s first line of defense. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure that no one listens. To this end, he marshals an impressive array of arguments, from the most blatant denial to the most sophisticated and elegant rationalization. After every atrocity one can expect to hear the same predictable apologies: it never happened; the victim lies; the victim exaggerates; the victim brought it upon herself; and in any case it is time to forget the past and move on. The more powerful the perpetrator, the greater is his prerogative to name and define reality, and the more completely his arguments prevail.”

Both saw the “Light of the Truth” they once denied. Let’s thank them for seeing thru all this MARXIST crap they were raised on or taught.
