It is rather telling, and includes this (emphasis theirs):
My favorite is their plan on the third point: "Try to 'Rattle Him,' Not Have An Intelligent Debate."– Artificially Inflate Your Numbers: “Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up. The Rep should be made to feel that a majority, and if not, a significant portion of at least the audience, opposes the socialist agenda of Washington.”
– Be Disruptive Early And Often: “You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation, Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early.”
– Try To “Rattle Him,” Not Have An Intelligent Debate: “The goal is to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda. If he says something outrageous, stand up and shout out and sit right back down. Look for these opportunities before he even takes questions.”
I can think of quite a few bloggers and radio squawkers that demonstrate this point perfectly.

No different than the left. And it is sad thing. Divert from issues and talk about crap.
ReplyDeleteExactly Dan. That is a tactic that is shared by all sides, and pretending like there aren't numerous examples of when the left has done that is just foolish Capper.
ReplyDeleteGreat, first the gop votes like the left, now they want to ACT like them?!?!
ReplyDeleteNick,
ReplyDeleteWhere did you see me deny the left has it's own share of lunatics?
Yes, but capper, you are the one that trolls the blogs demanding that other bloggers denounce their own team for hypocrisy.

I'm surprised this post wasn't about Scott Walker and your man-crush on him.
Yep...it took a while, but the Right has finally been dumbed down to the level of the Left. Claiming the high road when these are tactics your fellows have used since the 60s is ridiculous...the Left has lowered the bar for decades.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to cry about a lack of debate, why not complain about Diamond Jim Doyle sneaking crap through in the budget process? There's NO debate there.
