Welcome to Total Political War
5th March 2012
I’m talking about the second-tier of the warfare, the attempt to intimidate those removed by one or more degrees of separation from the dispute, and to use them as tools against the target.
They wouldn’t do that, would they?
Similarly, when the new Rhode Island Attorney General announced that he would cooperate with the federal goverment in the enforcement of federal immigration laws, protesters not only invaded the lobby of his offices, they picketed his house and confronted neighbors about the issue. Dragging his neighbors into a dispute which had nothing to do with them did not cause the RI AG to back down, although not for lack of trying.
Well, that’s the Left for you — the personal is political, and vice versa. If you disagree with the Politically Correct position, not only are you wrong, but you are officially an Evil Person, and anything that happens to you — or anyone connected with you — is okay.
