Levin: Stop The Lies, Marco
« on: February 23, 2016, 02:02:42 am »
Quote
A little while back, I argued that Marco Rubio's tactics in attacking Ted Cruz's Senate record on immigration and national defense, among other things, were Alinskyite.  They were and still are simply and demonstrably dishonest.  Yet he persists, knowing full well that by the time the truth catches up with him, if ever, the damage will have been done.  More recently, Rubio and his campaign team have intensified and broadened their Alinskyite tactics, now focusing on the ultimate personal smear -- that Ted Cruz is a serial liar.  Even in this, Rubio is not original.  Of course, Donald Trump has been calling his opponents liars as an almost Tourette's-like response against anyone who reminds him of his past but recent support for leftists and leftist causes, some of whom and which he still embraces.

But Rubio's smears are part of a more deliberative and unrelenting propaganda campaign. They are now at the core of his campaign effort to dislodge Cruz and clear the field against Trump.

Saul Alinksy explained it this way:  “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”  Rubio fancies himself the next Ronald Reagan.  But such self-aggrandizement is unmerited.  He's more Alinsky.

Marco Rubio has for years boasted about becoming the 'First Latino president.'

Cruz is his own worst enemy, with his campaign's dirty tactics.

Of course Cruz campaign lies. Look at what Rick Tyler did with those ads.
Roy Moore's "spiritual warfare" is driving past a junior high without stopping.

Too late. The meme is ingrained. 

Rubio's my guy, but I'd vote for Cruz too.

Trump HAS TO BE STOPPED.

Tyler was the fall guy and messenger. Jeff Roe the campaign manager is the problem . He approves everything.  **nononono*

Rubio's lies on Chris Crane, ICE officer, are some of the most despicable.    Rubio is the biggest liar in the race, but has the arrogance to project Cruz as the liar.

I will not vote for Rubio under any circumstances.

In a way, Marco Rubio is a Hispanic version of "Senator" obama:

Dress right.
Look appealing.
Speak smoothly.
Obfuscate your past.
Accomplish nothing.
And then...
...Run for president.

Levin is so in the tank for Trump, I can't listen to him.

Is he really?   Wow, I don't listen to him very often because he gives me high blood pressure, but I'm surprised at that.  I wouldn't have figured him for a Trump guy.

Trump's life is one extended exercise in deception.

He lies when the truth will do.
