We all know the drill by now. Whenever a politician with character and principles throws his hat in the ring the media descends on him like feral hounds on a pork chop. It’ll be no different with Paul. The only difference this time is that we should all be aware of what’s really going on.
Did you see the Republican debates?
Paul won hands-down. He stood out in a crowd of colorless toadies and became an overnight internet-sensation. In fact, an ABC survey showed that Paul won the first debate with an 85% majority; while C-SPAN showed him at 70%. Maybe the stats are just a fluke of internet voting, but it’s sure made the boys in the boardrooms nervous.
You see, it doesn’t matter if Paul wins or not. What matters is that his anti-government message is a hammer-blow to America’s biggest powerbrokers – and they don’t like it. They'd rather he just shut up and go away. They’ve heard enough about the Military Commissions Act, martial law, and the fraudulent war on terror. They’ve put a lot of money and energy into the new American police state and they aren’t about to let some libertarian party-pooper destroy all their hard work.
That's why the right wing think tanks are buzzing like a hornets nest right now. The sleeves are rolled up, the ash trays are full, and America’s best propagandists are putting the finishing touches on a plan to topedo the Paul campaign. They want to take him down now, before he causes any more trouble.
My guess is that they will use a strategy similar to the one they used on John Kerry, that is – keep it simple – attack on 3 fronts and repeat the charges from every soapbox in America. In Kerry’s case, the mantra went like this:
1. Kerry “flip-flops”
2 He’s a Massachusetts liberal.
3 He faked his war injuries to look like a hero.
The effectiveness of this strategy depends on how often the charges are repeated and from how many outlets. If it is well executed, the voter will naturally feel confused and less enthusiastic about his candidate. The propaganda-barrage had a withering effect on Kerry's support-base.
Fox Attacks Ron Paul
Ron Paul on Bill Maher
CNN Bias
It may be that the media will take a different tack with Paul. Perhaps, they'll use a saturation-campaign similar to their attack on Howard Dean in the 2004 Democratic primary. The infamous “Dean Scream” appeared over 900 times in the major media in the first 72 hours. Now that's the way propaganda is supposed to work!
