Are Republicans the Masters of Preemptory Slander Attacks?

Preemptory Slander Attacks are a standard method to deflect accusations of ones own sins by accusing the opponent of the same thing first.

Any Republican with a brain knows what they hear from Rush Limbaugh or Fox Talking heads is mostly imagination by the deranged. They have no verifiable facts yet they herald any rumor as the word of God. One Joseph Goebbels Wannabee publishes some yellow rag accusation of Obama and the rest accept it as gospel truth because it was in printed form.

So the best way to muddy the water is to accuse Democrats of lying.

They do the same thing for their other sins.

So anyone can get a pretty good idea of what Republicans are doing for Sin du Jour by what they are accusing others of doing.

As we are on to their methods, they won't work. That puts them in the category of Master Baiters which is what they do when dreaming up the next Obama scheme.

    That was well said....Rush Limbaugh's claims are "imagination by the deranged". I may have to steal that in the future if you don't mind..
