Bush Admin systematically discrediting any possible critics

[jrd200x]

It started with the Liberals. The attacks on the "Michael Moore" democrats.
Then mainstream democrats (Kerry and company)
Then the "undelected men in black robes" AKA our Federal Judges
The the Professors and educators
Now their attack on the MSM

Anyone else see a pattern?

1. This is nothing new. It's an old tactic with a new face.

7. Maybe not new - but more efficient and deliberate

Seems to me that there was a plan in place. These things take time, planning, and coordination.

11. True: They now have Public Relations and perception management

down to a science rather than an art. That is why a person should question everything they hear and half of what they see.

Critical thinking, intellectual honesty, and good dose of skepticism is a must in our todays world.

2. Well, yes

my only criticism is that your comment kind of qualifies as old news.

6. Gee, is a criticisim needed?

But thank you for your judgement. I'll try to do better

3. Yep. Welcome to DU!

I share in your frustration. I don't see it as "old news". Just a continuing pattern...

Peace.

It just got alot easier when the fascists bought control of broadcast media in the 80s and 90s.

12. It's what they do to deflect taking responsiblity.

They muddy the water and expect people to get into a linear response. The way to defeat them doing this is to completely ignore this kind of smokescreen and plow ahead with the issues at hand. It's called holding your space. Then, they just spin in recrimination and more of the same.

13. It Might End With Blaming "The American People".......

its your fault - after all you voted for me - says GWB.

14. If anyone, Bush would have the gall to do that n/t
