(10,751 posts)...but then again, I don't think ProSense believes that all of us who are against the surveillance state are actually supporters of Rand Paul, either. And yet she persists in posting OPs about Paul, and even in this thread she posted one of her videos / link fests regarding Rand Paul, as though she thinks it's her job to educate us here about how onerous he is.
Also it is a lot like Bush when he was promoting the Iraq invasion: he never directly said that Iraq / Hussein had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks; however, he made sure to make statements where the words "9/11", "Iraq" and "Saddam Hussein" occurred in close proximity, thereby strongly implying an association and helping to make his case for war.
What we are seeing here on DU is spamming the board with guilt-by-association posts implying that "against NSA spying" == "Rand Paul supporter", and I strenuously object to those dirty tactics. So I will happily turn it back onto her and others who employ the same tactics.
