Liberals always seem to think that words can mean whatever you want them to. They've always been more sympathetic to the 1984 'newspeak' style of public relations than conservatives who tend to believe that 'the truth' is more objective.
The current Democrat plan to depict the tea party as 'Radicals' is typical of that. They plan on launching a massive ad campaign to that effect. The problem with the plan though is that the tea party people aren't actually radicals, and since most Americans know that, they will be unpersuaded by the Obama plan.
The blowback from this will be to make it clear to America just how much they were 'flim-flammed' by the news media, when they portrayed Obama as a centrist prior to his election. To people like Obama (and the news media) the Tea Party really is a dangerous element because they represent a move to re-empower individuals over the elite. But ordinary Americans know better.
As for this ridiculous town hall today ... CNBC claims they have a 'broad cross section' of people to ask questions of the President. They have students (liberals) teachers (ultra-liberals), union laborers (liberal muscle), CEO's (liberal fundraisers) and a live audience stuffed with a variety of cherry picked 'activists', lobbyists, trial lawyers and government laborers.
What a joke.
Some of the questions have been 'pre-taped' (I suppose to give Team Obama a chance to carefully craft his answers and get them on the teleprompter.) They prepackage this pseudo news and choreograph it to deliver only their message, and then call otherwise boring suburbanites 'radicals'. And if we're to play our roles in this farce, we're supposed to listen to this obvious nonsense and take them seriously. We're supposed to be fooled by this ... AGAIN. Every time you think they can't possible condescend to us any further, they prove themselves willing to go even one more hyperbolically ridiculous step.
Apparently the only thing the Democrats have in terms of of a plan is to try to redefine the word 'moderate'. So by their definition, if you believe that class warfare helps the economy, then you're a moderate. If you believe that strong labor unions help reduce unemployment while greedy businesses increase it, and if you believe a top down 'planned economy' where decisions are all made by experts is more efficient than an economy based on economic liberty, then you are a 'moderate'. If you believe that high taxes (on the right people) and high deficits are a good idea, and that the government should be the ones who decide how people live their lives, then you ... are a 'moderate'.
But if you believe that they key to prosperity is personal responsibility, or that economic liberty helps the rich and poor alike, then you're a 'radical'. If you believe in limited government you're a 'radical'. If you believe that individuals have a right to make their own decision about how they live their lives, or how to spend the money they earned, then you are a 'radical'.
I can go on like this all day..... but frankly I'm too disgusted.
