In the volunteer work I do with prisoners I sometimes encounter a thinking error called projection, where someone denies their own attributes, thoughts and actions and attributes them to someone else.  Fortunately, I see this only rarely among prisoners.  Unfortunately, I see this almost daily among Republican politicians and pundits.  It is alive and well at CPUKE.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"BoughtBitch\"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Thursday painted conservatives as victims of President Barack Obama and other "liberal thugs."<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), McConnell said he always loved the event "because conservatives are just simply more fun" than liberals.<\/p>\n

"There’s a reason for that, by the way," he explained. "It’s because we are always right. Now, the reasons liberals are always wringing their hands all the time — you notice that? They always wring their hands all the time because they know we’ve got better arguments than they do. So, they spend half their time trying to convince people what’s wrong is right, and the other half looking for conservatives to tear down or CPAC conferences to disrupt." <\/p>\n

The Kentucky Republican continued: "You all know the liberal playbook. Here’s how it works: Pick a target, freeze it, personalize it and then polarize it<\/strong>. But rarely have we seen those kind of tactics employed with the kind of zeal that we see today. The White House and it’s lieutenants have made an art form out of the orchestrated attack. … You know the drill. Expose the folks to public view, release the liberal thugs on them, and then hope the public pressure or the unwanted attention scares them from supporting similar causes down the road."<\/p>\n

McConnell went on to accuse the Obama administration of using the resources of the government to "intimidate or silence" its critics<\/strong>\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bought Bitch Mitch could not have done a better job at describing Republican tactics.  Here\u2019s the video. <\/font>WARNING: DO NOT WATCH WITHOUT HAVING A BARF BAG HANDY!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

I know this makes you want to throw up (minimal response), but it’s important that you see the kind of foul lies that the mass of sheeple are being fed by Bought Bitch Mitch and other Republican leaders. Of course he had to get in a plug for Faux Noise, The Republican Ministry of Propaganda.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
