Conservative Tactic # 1
“I know you are, but what am I?”
Conservatives desperately and continually create false connections with liberals to words and policy that are inherently part of the conservative agenda and culture. Examples include constantly labeling Democrats:
racist, ignorant, unpatriotic, corrupt, unethical, & fascist
In truth all of the horrible things listed above accurately apply to the definition of conservative that was previously listed. All of these terms and their respective meanings are aligned with the true conservative and right-wing ideology, and have
absolutely nothing in common with liberal principles. This clever ruse is a very damaging trick and is by far the most common of all right-wing tactics. Conservatives epitomize hypocrisy with their extremes of unethical behavior. From gay sex scandals to extra marital affairs nobody does exactly what conservatives claim to condemn more than the GOP. Right-wingers now accuse liberals of being fascist. I guess they’re assuming everyone forgot that fascism is a product of right-wing extremism, and it is evident in the writings and speeches of many conservative politicians and pundits. In fact the actions of Bush and his cabinet make it the most fascist administration in U.S.
Though liberals aren’t allowed to have a negative view on the president, because that would make us unpatriotic. So no one is allowed to interrupt the president during interviews, shout “you lie” while he’s addressing congress, brazenly stick their finger in his face, or call him the anti-Christ during fundraisers… unless of course you’re a Republican.
