(62,325 posts)Iow, it is easy to see the talking points, surely you too can recognize them when you see them? Btw, why you think anyone would 'keep a list'? Liberals generally deal with smears and lies DIRECTLY when they encounter them. I know this makes it hard for them to spread the lies, but then that's OUR job, isn't it, as Liberals, to make sure the TRUTH and the FACTS get through all the propaganda.
At least that is what we did during the Bush era and eventually it did get through, because we refused to allow lies about Liberal Journalists and good Democrats to stand without challenge.
And by 2008, all the propaganda they tried to push with their talking points and smear campaigns, against Liberal Journalists, like Glenn Greenwald eg, and Liberal Dems could not get them reelected.
THAT is why it is important to recognize the 'campaigns against those who tell the truth'. I could not care LESS about the individuals, don't know them, don't care who they are, but if talking points and smears are in front of me, I will do what I always did. What we all always did.
I mean be honest, when you see confirmation of a an actual Corporate Contract being bidden on by a Security Contractor on a BLOGGER, and you get to read the tactics in their own words, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize that the contract is in place regarding Glenn Greenwald, does it? Which is why it has failed. We KNOW where all the attacks on him are coming from. Thanks to Anonymous for that one.
