"Secret Muslim" continues today as a nasty, damaging propaganda theme. Angry White Males, but also America's 15,000,000 victims of mental disorders are targeted.
From McCain to McConnell, GOPers want these votes. No matter that DSM IV Personality Disorder individuals have difficult lives. Paranoids, schizotypals, borderlines. GOPers media operations crank out Big Lie, 24/7, spewing structured delusions.
Effects are horrendous. Here's a waking dream, an online break posted in COMMENTS to Frank Gaffney at WaTi:
FACT: Barry Soetoro, who later changed his name to Barrack Hussein Obama, was raised in Indonesia where he attended a madrassa named Fransiskus Assisi in Jakarta. From there he traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian Student passport and therefor has at best dual citizenship. And he was schooled by muslims.
The empathetic St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) and the Catholic Church ??? Not in this GOPer fantasy.
Sane Pro-Lifers + racist AWM's + DSM IV Delusionals =EQ= The Base.
My first diary was indexed by Google. Then overnight it was un-Googled. UPDATE2::: Back on Google -- AND THE FIRST ONE TOO. Links And Detail Below The Fold:
DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS....
What we are seeing is a political party, the GOP, that recruits the mentally disordered. The likes of Limbaugh, Beck, Malkin, Coulter, and O'Reilly are supported openly. A lot of money gets spent at the effort.
LINK to one of the hundreds of sites offering the birth certificate image. Clearly, we are not talking about rational behavior denying this document.
The project to acquire votes from the mentally disordered. Stems in part from the career of Richard Nixon. He started out bad-mouthing Jerry Voorhees, using paranoid imagery to link Vorrhees with Godless Communism. When Nixon's Dirty Tricks operation came along, they packaged up more of the same for attacks on Edmund Muskie. Then in the 1980s Lee Atwater raised millions of dollars at RNC and went for Angry White Males, viewing them as a Reaganite inheritance from the George Wallace brand of racism.
Karl Rove arrived in the 1990s. He built a bridge to the Rush Limbaugh "Excellence in Broadcasting" listener pool. The national GOP started adding clearly false, borderline delusional elements to their sales pitch. We saw this again and again in the "talking points" of the Bush Administration.
Today, the GOP leads in polls of America's white males. Particularly with old white males. The latter success could be simple affinity, because GOPers and the OWMs look like each other.
But the GOP politicians also lead with America's paranoids and with other delusionals -- who else would fall for this garbage?
Personality Disorders are not hard to understand. This information could be taught usefully with the standard 8th Grade health and 10th Grade biology courses. There is nothing complicated about the basic patterns. And every city block is likely to have 2 or 3 of these people, all of whom would be better off with more community understanding.
These are handicaps.
The pool of PD individuals represents a lot of votes. 15,000,000 people with mental Disorder problems.
-- Cluster A personality disorders, presenting with external fantasy worlds:
Paranoid Personality Disorder: characterized by irrational suspicions and mistrust of others, life-patterns organized to fit long-term schemes, delusional projection of dishonesty on others.
Schizoid personality disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing time with others, envy and hatred of normals
Schizotypal personality disorder: also avoids social relationships, though out of a fear of people. The most extreme "loners."
-- Cluster B personality disorders, more "lost in themselves":
Antisocial personality disorder: "pervasive disregard for the law and the rights of others." Lying, stealing, cheating. No guilt.
Borderline-to-psychotic personality disorder: extreme "black and white" thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior, can adopt an external image in place of a personal adult self-presentation. At risk for cults.
Histrionic personality disorder: pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriate sexual seductiveness and shallow or exaggerated emotions. Not a good mix with repressed sexuality.
Narcissistic personality disorder: a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. Presents with mild antisocial behaviors.
-- Drug use. What happens is that addicts blame others for the addiction situation. "External locus of control" is the key phrase:
Pill-poppers. Abusing opioids such as OxyContin and the mood altering benzos such as Valium and the strong antidepressants. These addicts come to therapy or incarceration -- overwhelmingly -- blaming others for their situations. Blacks and illegals and family and social morality and gays and abortion get their full attention. Addicts say just about anything that lets them avoid personal responsibility.
The numbers indicate that America has 15,000,000 sufferers of the recognized P.D.'s. No one knows how many are addicts are doing the denial pattern as a dominant worldview. The GOP and such as Limbaugh are not making life better for these people. They are making these lives much worse.
HERE at WaTi is one Frank Gaffney doing all he can to damage mental health. The echos of this Secret Muslim meme come back with little to no restraints on extreme irrationality:
-- ...the first, Illegal alien , allowed in the White House.
-- ...goes back to the Five Pillars of Education and the Five Pillars of the Economy....
-- ...Chameleoun-like Mr. Obama ....
-- ...Obama is the "Manchurian Candidate"
-- ...Krugman is not only a radical nut, he's a traitor....
-- ...The piece of toilet paper displayed on the democratic web site ...the Usurper... the usurper's reign of terror.... his march to communisn....
-- ...passport cover up... Lt. Quarles Harris Jr... was shot dead....
-- ...a March On Washington For The Birth Certificate....
-- ...we have an Indonesian Muslim in the White House....
-- ...any of you been potty trained?
-- ...a (Hawaiiain) Certification of Live Birth IS NOT a certified birth certificate....
This is far outside what normal people call political discussion.
Politics have nothing to do with it. Governing America has nothing to do with it.
This is delusional paranoia, flat out. Focused to "talking point" structured madness as supported by the GOP.
"Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes a truth" -- Joseph Goebbels's version of a ancient Greek saying. This attack on 15,000,000 of America's mentally ill citizens is more of the same.
One question: will a WaTi or GOPer internet operation gets this content removed from Google again. If that happens, response should go to more than online mention.
