Playbook of the Left

The standard operating procedures for the Left are:

1. Illustrate all the negatives of your opposition
2. If you can’t find enough, make some up
3. Toss in innuendo and conspiracy theory
4. Ignore anything positive
5. If you can’t ignore the positive, spin it negatively
6. If contradictions arise with your theories, just keep going, your audience is too dumb to notice
7. Claim Republican questioning of your methods as facist or totalitarian
8. Claim you’re more American for bashing America than for supporting it
9. Compare your country to terrorists
10. Dismiss responsibility as ‘close minded’

Here are some examples of the game plan in action:

1. Claim the Bush family and the Saudis are best friends, but ignore the fact the Saudis didn’t join the coalition in Iraq

2. Claim America should never have gone to war (even call it illegal) and now say we can’t win because we sent too few

3. Claim blacks are overrepresented in the military unfairly but ignore their fight to be included in such military for a hundred years

4. Claim Richard Clarke is an upstanding, honest man when he says the Bush admin failed, but ignore the fact Clarke said, in 1999, that Iraq and Al Qaeda were partners in WMD development

5. Claim Iraq never attacked Americans and ignore Leon Klinghoffer’s murder by Abu Nidal, a Baghdad resident, or the killing of Westerners (including Americans) in Kuwait when Iraq invaded in 1990

6. Support one President attacking Iraq but oppose another simply because of their party affiliations

7. Claim the administration didn’t warn citizens enough about terror dangers and then, in the wake of the worst terror disaster, say it’s issuing too many warnings

8. Claim outrage at the killing of innocent people during war and support people in our own country killing unborn babies everyday (just call it “choice”)

9. Claim security failings led to our demise but oppose security enhancements (call them ‘totalitarian’ or ‘facist’)

10. Call for Campaign Finance Reform, then, once in place, exploit the loopholes to try and gain an advantage by allowing the ultrarich to offset donations of thousands of citizens

11. Call America the worst offender on the planet and ignore the fact it’s one of the best charitable givers

12. Call SUV owners unAmerican….then hop onto your private jet and fly to one of your many million dollar homes…

and on and on and on….
