Sarah & her icehead advisors are digging themselves in deeper

[Jackpine Radical]

with every stupid denial. Lee Atwater is rolling over in his bath of burning sulfur right now.

It's an old (if not universally accepted) notion in NLP that the unconscious doesn't process negatives, so people hear, for example, "We … intended for it to be gunsights. It was crosshairs."

Stop & think for a moment--which association is stronger in your mind:

Crosshairs--gunsight

or

Crosshairs--map?

The more they churn this stuff, the stronger are the associations they are creating between Sarah and the shooting in the public mind.



Don't retreat, Sarah. Reload. And shoot yourself in the foot again.

1. I've never seen crosshairs on maps.

I have no idea what she's even hinting at.

2. Palin has almost always been associated with weaponry

Her image is built around it.

3. Yup.

She can't run from it, she can't deny it.

7. "Oh, drat. Somebody went & shot #19 on my list.

I guess I'd better go take down that map with the surveying symbols."

9. Oh come on, you're using science and stuff.

People these days don't have the attention span to process this kind of information!

(Even though you're right.)
