My United States of Whatevah... - Republican tactics

About Republican tactics

Previous Entry Republican tacticsOct. 6th, 2006 @ 10:41 am Next Entry
I found this mock quote written by some jackass on a newspaper forum:
“Foley will have to run as a Democrat if he wants to continue in elected office. We Democrats not only tolerate but take "pride" in perverted sexual behaviour.
Sincerely,
Barney Frank”


And my response:

What a typically Republican tactic. You are trying to draw parallels that do not equate. Rather than own up to the fact it was a Republican who was implicated in this underage sex scandal you find it easier to lob personal attacks as well as to criticize the other party for somehow being worse. You infer that Democrats are somehow implicated with the immoral actions of this Republican when they’re not even remotely involved in this. It’s a rather pathetic attempt at misdirection.

Bush uses this sort of logical fallacy a lot. He will claim that if you support or don't support something then you must be an advocate or critic of something far more extreme. I guess he expects people to be too ignorant to notice, or too careless to care. Obviously quite a few people really are ignorant & careless enough to fall for it.

Case in point, Bush claims that those of us who oppose his warrantless eavesdropping program believe the government shouldn’t listen in on terrorist’s phone calls. It’s not only deceptive and misrepresentative, it’s actually a lie. The truth is most of us have no problems with the authorities listening in when they have a legitimate reason, we simply believe our government should have to follow due process and get legal authorization from an independent body {FISA court} when they seek to eavesdrop phone calls. This ensures that there is a legitimate justification for the spying, and that there is always some degree of independent oversight to prevent possible abuses of this law enforcement tool by officials. Bush & others that support his agendas completely and deliberately miss this point, and they constantly misrepresent it hoping that most people will fall for it. Far too many do.

Another piece of deception is a line I recently heard in a campaign ad, ‘Senator so & so voted against the wiretapping program. He believes that if the authorities discovered a terrorist attack was imminent they should have to wait for the paper-work to come back before they can listen in and stop the attack.’

This is total BS. In actuality, the FISA program has always allowed the authorities to spy on anyone they choose and they have up to 3 days to make their case, in private, to the board which can retroactively issue a warrant making it legal. I believe that has now been extended to a week or perhaps more. By the way, the board almost never turns them down. So the authorities have always had the capability to spy, gather information, and prevent attacks. That has never been in question. They do not need any more convenience than that to do their job, any claims otherwise by Bush & Co. is completely bogus. They are motivated by other endeavors just as are those who now seek to criticize Democrats.
