(8,244 posts)They attack the pillars that support a liberal society in order to destroy it.
That's why they constantly attack unions, science, education, intellectuals, and the media.
We might take a lesson from the RW-ers in that regard as it seems to be a pretty effective tactic.

(1,721 posts)Every time a Tea Bagger uses the term "special interest", I would love to hear a mic check that quickly explains who that special interest actually is. It would sound something like this:
Walker: I kicked out the special interest that had a stranglehold on our state.
Mic Check: Special interests equal teachers and state employee unions.
Barret: Walker is beholden to special interests, and he will not veto Right to Work legislation.
Mic Check: Special interests equal large corporations, Koch brothers, millionaires and billionaires.
