Ya gotta love this site.


http://conservapedia.com/Liberal_tricks

liberal tricks that many people fall for:

1. When a liberal theory of pseudo-science is disproved or discredited, thay simply change the name (or definition) of the theory to render it impossible to test, as in "global warming" -> "climate change."[1]
2. Claim a candidate is a racist if his campaign received a small donation (amid thousands of other donations) from someone who might be called a racist.
3. Distracting and disrupting reasoned discussion, as in stating irrelevant claims, inconsequential tales of personal experience, or false outrage.
4. Making pseudo-religious arguments even though the person making the arguments does not adhere to the Bible, such as "judge ye not!"
5. Making arguments that have superficial appeal to the dimwitted, but are actually nonsensical and probably not believed by the liberal himself.[2]
6. Try to draw a conservative in to saying or doing something which can then be dishonestly twisted to cast him in a bad light.
7. So as not to show his true beliefs of supporting evil infanticide and taxpayer-funded abortion, Barack Obama insists he is pro-choice, but not pro-abortion. [3]
8. Inserting a liberal assumption into a question, as illustrated by the classic "When did you stop beating your wife?!"
9. Pretending that liberals do not have a political point of view, but are just being reasonable.[4]
10. Exaggerating praise for fellow liberals.[5]
11. Pretending that atheism equals intelligence.
12. In court decisions, holding in favor of the conservative side by using liberal reasons that will be cited for liberal outcomes in future cases[6]
13. Liberals befriending you so that you become liberal. (Conversely, why don't they become conservative?)
14. Citing "live and let live!" except when it comes to praying aloud in school, keeping the money you earn, building on your own property, and every other liberal issue.
15. Citing "it doesn't hurt to try!" (In reference to drugs, alcohol, and other immoral behaviors such as premarital sex, worshiping other gods/many gods/no gods, homosexuality, or abortion).
16. Claiming that because everyone else supposedly believes in something, therefore it must be right.
17. Claiming that your parents aren't cool; that Hollywood values are cool; that professor values are brilliant; and that you must blindly follow your government.
18. There is a shortage of everything we want.
19. Prayer is for dummies, or is antiquated.
20. Kids are getting smarter than old folks.
21. Smearing your adversary with a highly offensive accusation or insinuation.
22. Calling someone a racist if he criticizes a someone who happens to have a different skin color.
23. Demonizing conservatives and pretending they don't care about regular people.
24. If you don't like it (something offensive on television), don't watch it (but they don't seem to go for if you don't like whales being killed, don't watch them being killed).
25. Believing the poor are blameless because they have nothing and the rich are to blame because they have everything.
26. Accusing conservatives of libel, but forgetting that truth is the perfect defense against libel.
27. In discounting other point of views, liberals use comparisons of other known "wrong actions" to justify their supposed correct stance. [7]
28. Inserting false information, usually lewd into a respected work or group of works.
29. Defending the assuration that democrats.com is not affiliated with the Democratic party. (We are told as an independent website, Democrats do not control the views of democrats.com.)
30. Claiming expertise beyond one's area of expertise, as in a "Dr." or professor implying that he is an expert in an area beyond his specialty[8]
31. Pretending an honorary degree does not give someone the right to be called "Doctor".
32. Pretending affirmative action is the best way to fill positions, including President of the U.S.
33. Fearing the wrath of voters this election cycle, Democrats have decided not to block offshore drilling bans renewed each October. After the election, Americans get sucker-punched because restoring the ban on new offshore oil drilling leases “will be a top priority for discussion next year.” [9]
34. Saying "If you believe that abortion is murder, don't have one!" as if abortion isn't undisputably the murder of a human being.
35. Supporting classlessness while pretending to care about the preservation of world culture.
36. Finding a diverse individual to be appealing or “cool” until they learn that the individual does not conform to their liberal agenda.
37. Claiming open-mindedness as a disguise for immorality. Such is a typical liberal claim regarding drug/alcohol abuse, promiscuity, etc.
38. Defending the lives of heinous criminals (by opposing capital punishment) while encouraging murder of unborn children (by supporting infanticide, known today as abortion).
39. Justifying sinful lying by saying "what they don't know can't hurt them."
40. Claiming that there exists a Separation of Church and State in the United States (and citing biased Supreme Court decisions to back themselves up) when in reality there exists no such Separation of Church and state in the constitution, and that the Founding Fathers were mostly Christian themselves.
41. Stereotyping Christians as aggresive nutjubs unless they conform to liberal policies.
42. Reveal celebrities supporting a dangerous liberal reform, such as introducing same sex marriage which implies that it is the right thing to do.
43. Portray feminism and women's rights as the same thing. (History reveals the early suffragists being incredibly different to modern feminism).
44. Claim that Nazism is an example of right wing extremism, when in fact the Nazis cared very little about individual freedom and were not fiscally conservative.
45. Claim that liberal policies should be pushed even further after a disaster e.g. more gun control after the Columbine Massacre. This leads people into conforming more to liberalism.
46. Claim that history began with a "Golden Age of Faith" and the future will become fully secular. Studies actually reveal Christianity growing around the world.
47. Use comments such as "racist!" to silence criticism from Conservatives, regardless of its logic.
48. Claim that no relationship is loving without casual sex.
49. If any crime victim is homosexual, then its automatically a hate crime. For example, the Matthew Shepard murder was portrayed as a hate crime by the mainstream media. But the trial of his killers actually revealed them to be drug addicts.
50. Claim that an act is not sinful if the act is legal under civil law.
51. Claim that in order for God to exist there has to be someone who created him. Since people are unable to explain this it leads them into conforming to Humanist belief that the universe is self-existing.
52. Justify immodest dressing or deviant activities by saying "it's the 21st century!"
53. Put people off marriageby revealing the high divorce rates, without showing the groups most likely to divorce such as those who were married before or cohabited before marriage.
54. Claim that it is impossible to believe in God without being 'religious' and vice versa.
55. Appeal to people's emotions rather than there reason. (Hitler practiced this throughout his political career)
56. Use mockery of conservatives as a way to distract people from conservative values rather than logic.
57. Label evolution science and creation faith. When in fact evolution is also a faith as its aspects cannot be tested, observed or demonstrated unlike actual science.
58. Glancing down at "notes" to give the false impression one is not, in fact, reading from a teleprompter.

Some of these are just too good. :lol:

Conservatives distorted DNC manual to accuse Dems of dirty tricks
October 18, 2004 2:59 PM EDT ››› GABE WILDAU

Following reports of a Democratic National Committee Election Day manual giving party workers advice on how to combat potential efforts to intimidate minority voters, conservative media figures repeatedly distorted the manual's content in order to claim that the Democratic Party's official policy is to make baseless allegations of voter intimidation against Republicans.

In fact, the manual does no such thing; it simply advises party workers to use standard, uncontroversial communications tactics to raise public awareness about the potential for intimidation.
(Click here to view The Drudge Report's image of the DNC's "Colorado Election Day Manual.")

In contrast to accusations made by several conservative media figures, the manual itself does not encourage party workers -- either implicitly or explicitly -- to fabricate stories of voter suppression.

MORE REPUBLICAN DIRTY TRICKS

Be Prepared to Protect Yourself and Fight Back

Once considered liberal and progressive, the Republican Party has been taken over by right-wing conservative con artists who lie, cheat and steal to gain and maintain power. From voter fraud and suppression to smear campaigns, personal attacks and media manipulation, they have been using the same strategies for more than a hundred years.

While Democratic Dirty Tricks prominently show up around FDR's first election in '32, Kennedy/Nixon (Chicago) in '60 and Lyndon Johnson in '64, these lead to The New Deal, Social Security and Civil Rights while Republican Dirty Tricks give us depressions, poverty and massive national debt.

Republicans know if most people vote, they would never win so they try to demoralize the Democratic base and suppress the vote as much as possible, they buy some people off with tax cuts and scare the rest into voting against their own interests and that's how they win. It's a divide and conquer strategy that has worked well and they refine and expand it every election year.

Republican Strategy:
Demoralize the Democratic base with phony press releases and whisper campaigns.
Attack oponents strength with character assasination.
Suppress the vote in every possible way.
Buy some people off with tax cuts.
Scare the rest into voting against their own interests.
In the 2004 election there was massive GOP voter fraud and suppression; from black box voting fraud, vote tabulating fraud, re-registering people into different precincts, destroying voter registration forms, misinformation in poor neighborhoods, moving polls close to election day, old ballot machines in poor and black neighborhoods that spoil votes, ballot checking machines in wealthy neighborhoods that allow wealthy voters to re-cast spoiled ballots, police intimidation, caging lists and on and on and on. The result was an 8 million vote discrepancy between the official results and exit polls. The official results had Bush winning by 3 million votes but the exit polls had Kerry winning by 5 million votes.

Republicans have two major factors on their side; a fanatical base willing to carry out the dirty tricks and the greediest billionaires to finance them. They deceive good people by raising the red flag of abortion and gay marriage to divert attention away from their arrogant and greedy policies which cause the poverty, war and pollution we are facing today.

The next time a Republican tells you “America, love it or leave it.” Tell them you love America. You just want right-wing conservatives to stop molesting her.

oooh, ooooh! time for a scripture quote....can i play?

John 8:7
King James Version (KJV)

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

look, i'll be the first to admit that both parties and folks on both sides of the fence are guilty of some of the practices on the list in the top post.

to think it's only dems is pure foolishness.

you notice how the Conservatives and off-branch conservative think tanks are pro petroleum industry, and like the use of fracking / hydraulic fracturing when capturing oil and gas reserves.. the Democrats stand on this method is not so much in favor of it, not until they research the dangers of such an un-natural method that could poison ground water aquifers for eternity..

the Republican stand has always been rape the wilderness, pollute the rivers and lakes, for the want of profits.. money is everything to them, if a few species of animals are to become extinct, because they are holding up, and getting in the way of "progress" ..then so be it.. a Republican if he could by his own moral convictions, would grab all the resources they could leaving nothing for future generations.. that's just the way their brains have become hard wired, the devil works in mysterious ways sometimes using the Bible to his favor..

As to dirty tricks you are both right. Both sides are despicable. The founders weren't too keen on political parties and as I study history I'm starting to feel the same way.

Since I don't believe anything that any politician says, I feel liberated - I can watch this farce unfold as a spectator - sort of a 'war' correspondent who hopes both sides lose.

Because whichever side wins - gets to tell me what to do. And they just love it. That and my money.

You boys are being awfully rough on each other. Maybe there is a better way?

You are just an asssshole. you offer NO REASONABLE RESPONSE TO ANYTHING. Do you understand the meaning of the word ANYTHING.
You have no reasoned discussion. You have nothing. I doubt you have a job.
I doubt you add anything to society at all except for CO2.

I'm not tired of people like you. You condone violence, foot on throat and ass whooping. WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHOW UP AT MY HOME AND SHOW ME JUST HOW TOUGH YOU ARE?

I don't even feel sorry for you anymore... You are a loser. But bringing down America, WILL NOT CHANGE THAT!
