You are witnessing the first "Stochastic Smearjob" [View all]

For years, the DNC have done their best to ignore, marginalize, and disenfranchise the Progressive wing of the party. From Sister Souljah, through the two stints of Rahm Emmanuel in the WH, to the electoral disaster that is DWS, the party has beaten on liberals, aka "retards".

Only this year, the liberals have dared to stand up and fight. Despite the entire corporate media trying to smear him personally, no one has come anywhere near successfully smearing Bernie Sanders. Nor have they provoked him into a "Dean Scream".

So, they have invented a new tactic, which I call "a stochastic smearjob". The Nevada Convention "narrative" is the first stochastic smearjob. Here's how it works:

1) Continuously demean and insult Bernie backers. Refuse to acknowledge any legitimacy on their part. Ignore HRC's policies, and focus entirely on "its the math", "its her turn", and "I'm with her" - empty slogans guaranteed to drive any policy-minded person to distraction by their endless sucking of all the air out of the room. Basically, do everything you can to piss people off.

2) Continue to escalate the party hack gamesmanship of dws and the ratfucking of David Brock.

3) At some point, at some outrageous provocation, some one or some group of liberals will snap and do something that can be made to look one-sidedly stupid. That is the "stochastic" part.

4) Now that you have your desired "event", pull out all the media stops. Trumpet your "smearjob" from every propaganda platform. Who cares if Jon Ralston is a complete fraud? He has served his purpose in getting the story out there, for the corporate media to cite. Ralston is the equivalent of Matt Drudge in feeding bogus stories into the media.

It's just a variant of Limbaugh and Beck lathering up gun nuts to kill liberals. In this case, they lather up liberals into sabotaging their own cause - sorta like the dumb farmer in "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" who gets conned into touching his guy by the sociopathic gunslinger who just wants to kill someone.

Welcome to the next step downward in media manipulation.
