DeLay refers to personal attacks from the liberals
It's OUTRAGEOUS that DeLay says:
'Mr. DeLay complained that "the other side" had figured out how "to defeat the conservative movement," by waging personal attacks, linking with liberal organizations and persuading the national news media to report the story. He charged that "the whole syndicate" was "a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in."'
Just refer people to the way the right spent FIFTY-THREE MILLION DOLLARS and used the media RUTHLESSLY trying to come up with something illegal Clinton did, and failed.
WHO figured out how to use personal attacks?? WHO learned how to use the media to bludgeon someone with personal smear campaigns?
DeLay and the conservative right resort to ANY lies, to ANY smears, to ANY viciousness in their attempt to turn the United States democracy into an unacknowledged theocracy based on the born-again style of Christianity, which has values and goals ANTITHETICAL to the teachings of Christ.
Just look at how Jeb Bush tried to encourage people to do illegal things to get Terry Schiavo back on the feeding tube when he announced there were no more LEGAL ways to intervene in the issue. Why even USE that word if he was not trying to encourage radical Christians to break the law over this and further polarize and solidify right-wing Christians against the free society that America is SUPPOSED to be.
DeLay doesn't give a rat's ass about Terry Schiavo, nor about the sanctity of life. If he did, he'd never back a WAR, for God's sake. REAL Christians would rather be eaten by lions than go to war and support killing ANYone. He and his associates ONLY care about solidifying their political position and his CONSTANT ethical issues only demonstrate that.
His equally constant protestations about being called to task for them show how he and his crowd rely on the "1984" truism that if you merely repeat something often enough most people, being unable to think for themselves, will believe it.
THIS is the technique they are using in engaging the media as a personal attack mechanism, as they've done for DECADES, now. Additionally, they are using the "1984" technique of calling a thing it's opposite. THEY are using the media to make personal attacks and SAY the "other side" is doing so.
The polarization of left and right is part and parcel of their plan. Divide and conquer, it's the oldest trick in the book. When Reagan came onto the scene was the FIRST time that being liberal was said to be EVIL and BAD and even TRAITOROUS. Prior to that both sides respected the other and agreed to differ. Since then, being on the "other side" means you're with the DEVIL.
Clearly, this is again doublespeak, since dividing the country so intensely is what is evil, not the opinion of the "other side".
