James Taylor: Rove/GOP Reopening wounds of Civil War for political base & to hide political agenda

[Faryn Balyncd]

6. The elitist RW agenda is the key reason for the Rovian portrayal of "the left" as elitist...

Rove's most important contribution to the diabolical Republican strategy is to have the unmitigated gall to (repeatedly) attack the opposition for the very things that Rove's side is most guilty.

It's not simply sub-conscious projection, but at its deepest level it is a conscious strategy to nullify the right wing's most vulnerable weaknesses by creating a meme that falsely accuses opponents of precisely those traits.

And, over and over again, they have received the benefit of the corporate media, and now even NPR, accepting those false memes.

After creating the emotionally powerful false image of a "elitist left" which is re-iterated by the punditry, working class and middle class Republican voters are inoculated against the grim reality of the elitist agenda of the GOP, and of their own victimization.




If we are to defeat RW forces before they consolidate their overwhelming economic power to create a neo-feudal society, it is of prime importance that we reverse the RW's control of the language and semantics of political discourse.
