(62,325 posts)alike, in THEIR OWN WORDS. I can express my opinion on issues without using words like 'mules' and 'laundered' and 'Paulite' and 'reality based community' and 'purist' etc. I use my own words to express my opinions.
Can you link to any of my posts where I resort to the use of 'words' that 'everyone else is using'?
Look, we saw the evidence of how a smear campaign is born when HB Gary's emails were exposed by Anonymous. We saw that that Private Security Corp was bidding on a contract to SMEAR of all people, a BLOGGER. That blogger, back then, was Glenn Greenwald. The emails showed what they intended to do to try to 'smear him and therefor intimidate him into remaining silent about the Big Banks'.
And what I am seeing now re Greenwald is almost exactly the way they were presenting their bid to smear him. I guess someone else got that contract, but the evidence shows that these smear campaigns against 'inconvenient journalists, bloggers, politicians et al', are REAL.
So I will continue to assume that people who repeat patterns of phrases, words, smears etc are part of a paid for smear campaign.
