We need to build that audience for our kind of writing.<br /><br />Thank you in return.Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-17577452603373000392020-07-11T12:56:47.575-04:002020-07-11T12:56:47.575-04:00The NYP opinion writer strikes me as rather naive....The NYP opinion writer strikes me as rather naive.<br />'Here is how The New York Times described the local reaction: “The backlash was swift, as you might expect... Note the term “as you might expect.” What sane person would expect this?'<br />A lot of sane people who have been paying attention to the Left would expect this. Alinsky Rule #13 - 'Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it... Cut off the support network... Go after people and not institutions'. Another quote:<br />'Vilifying Trump voters and targeting them for economic destruction serves absolutely no valuable social purpose.'<br />It's valuable to the Left in several ways. It's an easy tactic which they enjoy (Alinsky #2, #6). It's a tactic that gives them great satisfaction when it works, which apparently, it did in this case. It intimidates the more reticent among the enemy (that would be you and me, not to call you reticent) into silence.<br />Thank you for bringing this story forward. I'm spreading it around. daniel_dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399665251275194585noreply@blogger.com
