(62,325 posts)it is repeated by the same group over and over again. I guess some high paid schmuck working for HB Gary or some other 'security contractor' came up with the idea that accusing Whistle Blowers and Journalists of 'attention seekers' was a great way to discredit them.
I am amazed at the failure of these very expensive 'talking points' thought up by morons who think they are smarter than the general public.
They don't seem to get that ordinary people are far more discerning than their arrogant opinions of them.
THAT was a particularly stupid talking point. I doubt it ever convinced a single person to change their views.
Imagine spending millions to try to influence people and having the exact opposite effect of what you paid for.
All they have to do is look at the polls re Snowden to see how they wasted their money.
My advice to the 'Think Tanks' who come up with these 'talking points' is to just go with being honest. Their talking points are laughable, kindergarten level, at this point. Everyone knows the tactic and no one gives them one iota of credibility at this point.
