It's really disturbing to see the Sean Hannities of the world, acting like the Morality Police -- and holding Obama up to some standard, they would never apply to themselves. Or their cohorts:
Sean Hannity:
“This is not the guy that you invite to the White House for a poetry reading,” he said. “This is not the guy we want our kids to listen to.” President Obama, he said, “goes back to his radical roots again and again and again: Ayers, Wright, Pflager.”
But what struck me most is their ceaseless ability, in boiling down their Talking Point Smears into simple Two Word Labels ... "radical roots".
Labels often punctuated by alliteration, in just a few syllables ... "radical roots".
Labels, painting a simple "word picture", easy to remember; easy to share.
Simple Slogans -- for the simple minded.
My Question now is ... Can't two (parties), play this Alliteration Labeling Game?
If you were going to boil down the GOP Buffoons into a short simple Label, a word picture -- easy to remember, easy to share -- What would that Alliteration Label be?
Here are a few of my Labels -- attempting to paint the real character of the GOP:
Right-Wing Whiners
Corporate Cheerleaders
Racketeers of the Rich
Welfare for the Wealthy
Free-Market Free-Loaders
Big Debt Bingers
Revenue Evaders
Tax Cutting Crazies
Tea Party Prudes
The Morality Police
Fanatics of Fear
Harbingers of Hate
Defenders of Denial
Guardians of Greed
The Bully Brigade
Hysterical Hypocrites
Self-righteous Rejects
The Epitomes of Ego
The Teflons of Blame
The Antithesis of America
Please take a few minutes, and add your own GOP Labels to the List.
Two (or more) can play this shallow characterization game. Impress your family, friends, and social contacts, with your literacy prowess ... and political insights.
