Perhaps we conservatives should read this essay as a call to action and get off our asses and engage in full-body political combat against the LIEberals?
We know what they are doing and the tactics they are using.
What we don’t seem to have is an effective anti-LIEberal program.
Logic and Reason do not work.
We must not LIE; that is what the LIEberals do.
What then to do?
We have to replicate their network.
Right now the left has sites as diverse as Tumblr, Reddit, Gawker Media, Buzzfeed, Daily Kos, Cracked and HuffPo to take whatever fringe issue they want and percolate it through the internet.
They then have Facebook and Twitter to virally spread it to the news feeds of millions. Pressure to conform to their “friends” positions cause many people to “like” or repost the same thing, causing others to do the same.
Then pop-propaganda outlets like the Daily Show and John Oliver will pick up on the “trend” and give rants and commentary masked as comedy about the issue. Those videos are then spread on YouTube (neither show demands people that post videos of those programs take them down). This will cement to drones that you need to get on the bandwagon if you want to be “trendy”.
Now the cause gets picked up by NPR, NY Times, and all of the TV leftist networks where it is then made safe for older hippies and middle-aged dullards that dont use the internet to be part of the cause as well.
Obama can now just then get behind it and start pushing bigger government.
We have nothing like this. We rely on a shrinking number of radio talk shows, hosted by aging commentators. Sites like FR, the Blaze, Newsmax, Britebart, Drudge and others rarely work together in any real capacity. If something can get started, it is almost by accident. Few on our side wants to be seen as being part of a bigger push to bring an issue to the forefront least they get slammed for just “going along” with someone else’s “scoop”. Radio hosts seem to be fighting each other or ignoring the existence of each other to coordinate because they see each other as competition more than allies.
We have no TV shows like the Daily Show. Newspapers are out as well. Forget the networks.
We are competitive on YouTube, but too many on our side seem like they hate any tech that was made after 2008, and seem to brag more about how old their computers and OSs are than giving a toss about staying on top of these new tools that the left has no problem using against them.
If it wasn’t for the NRA or the RTL groups, we would have next to nothing standing up against these people.
