Comment on Don’t take that tone of voice with me, mister! The new rule for political debate and news coverage. by NeoLibertarianDotCom

I think this is actually an under-discussed part of Alinskyism. The polarization that Alinskyism wants comes from the obvious path of painting your opponents as extreme but it also comes from white-washing your own group’s extremism. This makes it much easier for moderates to migrate to your position through use of a classic negotiating tactic: when you seek to make one position appear untenable, you also provide an easy, and face saving, alternative to make it easier for people to come to your side.

Thus I disagree that this is the result of a thin skinned or inexperienced administration not being able to take criticism: this is Alinsky tactics at a level of ruthlessness and sophistication far above what we have seen from the Left before.

You claim to be skeptical…..yet follow the Christian faith because it “grounds you”. To say “We are skeptical about political parties and government institutions….but we are proudly not skeptical of a Bronze Age mythology-based belief systems” means you are not a skeptic at all.

Proud to be a skeptic, glad I’m not a superstitious “skepticrat”

As the ACLU of the downtrodden Mustached American people and the bravest organization in the history of mankind behind only the U.S. Military and post-Jim Henson Muppets — the American Mustache Institute applauds your short-sighted, yet hopeful evaluation of political lip sweaters.

We hope you participate in the vote for the “Robert Goulet Memorial Mustached American of the Year.”
