In reply to the discussion: Dear Owner of Free Republic: You said you would shut down your site if Romney was nominated..... [View all]Faryn Balyncd
(5,125 posts)81. The strategy of the RW is falsely frame Romney as a "moderate"...That is the SCRIPTED ROLE, not only
.....of Free Republic, but of the entire RW hate radio/Fox "News" machine.
The Republican RW propaganda Wurlitzer is, as we know, the most effective propaganda machine ever ginned up anywhere in the world since 1930's Europe.
And the most effective thing Free Republic and the rest of the fringe RW can do to elect Romney is to raise hell screaming the myth that Romney is a "Liberal".
It is not just that the RW haters will vote for him come November:
The reality is that Jim Robinson and his fellow fringe wingers have a much BIGGER job to do for Romney RIGHT NOW:
Specifically, to attack him from the right, so that the corporate media will dutifully take the cue and continue their coverage from the FALSE PERSPECTIVE of portraying Romney as a "moderate".
Romney's corporate schemers could not have written a better script than for Free Republic to take this position.
(Actually, falsely framing Romney as a "moderate" or a "liberal" is perhaps the only way the entire campaigns of Bachman, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, and Santorum makes sense, or to make sense of Sheldon Adelson pouring $15 million into an already braindead Gingrich "campaign".)
