In yesterday's daily kos posting:
Republicans are Islamotards
http://www.dailykos.com/...
I gave examples of how neoconservatives have been changing the adjectives traditionally used to label people or objects in order to make them seem more offensive.
Today I would like very much to expound on this idea. Do you, like me, share the thought that this rhetoric is really pretty brilliant? It is insidious, yes, but it shows a level of understanding of not only politics but psychology, by ramping up the level of vitriol in our discourse.
It is time for us to concede the point. If we cannot beat em (at this game) we must join em.
Islamotards, be proud, for you are politically asstoot.
We card carrying members of the ACLU, soft on terrarist liberals concede that you, the vast right wing majority, have a lot to teach us about the psychology of negativity.
But we are paying attention. We are learning your game.
Islamotards have long known that on the issues voters prefer the democratic agenda by large margin, but voters also respond viscerally to labels. Once we master the art of the perjorative there will be no stopping us.
Madison Avenue, we are calling on you. We need your help branding these weasels.
Everyone, say it with me...Islamotards are politically ASSTOOT.
