Selene Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They must really be terrified by The Donald!When he was done with his forceful and freewheeling pitch, a man stood and asked aloud the question that seemed to hang over the event like a New England fog:“How can you bring the passion that you’re showing today more broadly to your campaign?”Mr. Bush is trying to defeat 12 other Republicans, but a month before the Iowa caucuses, he is also trying to run against the damning four-syllable caricature Mr. Trump first lobbed at him four months ago, of a “low energy” candidate who just does not have the will to win the presidency.Jeb would not get this coverage with positive words if he were leading...lolA...

Backlighting Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Adam, I would say T.V. is certainly not the effective platform it once was for reaching the voters. The web is seeing to that.I just think it's on life-support, not quite dead yet. I suspect you might agree that a political ad run during the Superbowl would reach a lot of voters. Last years game reached 111 million viewers...you can deduct a bunch that switched channels or paid a trip to the john during the commercial...still significant, no?http://www.statista.com/topics/1264/super-bowl/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selene Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 John Boy Jeb, how many of these immigrants came with love?The Border Patrol nabbed two Pakistani men with ties to terrorism at the U.S.-Mexico border in September in the latest instance of illegal immigrants from so-called “special interest countries” using the southern border as a point of entry to the U.S.Muhammad Azeem and Mukhtar Ahmad, both in their 20s and from Gujrat, were caught Sept. 20 by agents south of San Diego and just over the international border from Tijuana. When agents checked their identities through databases they got hits on both of them: Mr. Ahmad popped up as an associate of a known or suspected terrorist, while Mr. Azeem’s information had been shared by a foreign government for intelligence purposes.Both men had been processed two months earlier by immigration officials in Panama, suggesting they took advantage of smuggling networks or other routes increasingly used by Central American illegal immigrants to sneak into the U.S.It is true that these two (2) came with love, however, it was a love to kill Americans, so maybe you should like wake up and modify stupid statements like that one.Americans will accept your apology, Jeb Boyhttp://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/dec/30/pakistanis-terrorist-connections-nabbed-us-border/A...

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm looking deeper and it's smelling like excessive zeal on the part of some Trump supporters. The site itself is very pro-Trump. I Googled the first line of the article and the only sites I saw that reprinted the article were pro-Trump sites. Drat! However, since the article is more or less well-written, it will be interesting to see this as a real-time case study in trading up the chain style publicity. Let's see how far up the news it goes.

Here's the takeaway from the past 2 weeks: when the Cruz campaign does something like this, it's that evil, lying Cruz. But when (it appears that) the Trump campaign is doing it, it's either "excessive zeal on the part of Trump supporters" or (more likely) it's that evil, lying Cruz.

william.scherk Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) The reporting was breathless, like a low-rent Robert Fisk having received The News from an unnamed insider. The venue for the reporting linked by MSK is the blog site of theamericanindependent, the author is David Spuria. Spuria, not spurious. David Spuria is real, and he loves him some Trump. But forget Spuria's Jeb! scoop for a minute and see what he fishes up on his blog; from the Marshall Report: Listen to Alex Jones shout and weep with joy and rage as he describes what he feels in having a MAN LIKE TRUMP – FINALLY given to a people to lead them. Trump is going it alone and he is doing it for each one of us. Each little person that makes up America and if truth is known, the world at large. God bless him and keep him, may the army of God surround this great man. Amen. Insert comment on The Saviour core story. 46 minutes ago, Roger Bissell said: Here's the takeaway from the past 2 weeks: when the Cruz campaign does something like this, it's that evil, lying Cruz.

My name for this pattern of "explanation" is Reductive MSK-ism. The distinction is the insidious record-distortion (Trump is a Planned Parent, conducts third-trimester abortions and loves it), the push-poll well-poisoning, the fakey Voter Shame packages -- the file of prevarications that Trump turns into an Evul greater than Kant, Ted the Liar, the greatest liar in the history of Trump. The suspect actions were from the Cruz machine or SuperPACs, if one or two steps removed from the candidate. The distinction shrinks to nothing when you consider Trump's lies and distortions -- but in this case, the scoop was from a lower-level blogger Youtuber enthusiast. The scoop is unlikely to be true because Jeb! has not yet run out of funds for his hospice care going forward. "Reductive MSK-ism" is probably similar to the secret "Reductive WSS-ism." suspected but not observed. If you are piqued by his 'pretty little eyes' malice wink or his demonization of the sad shell of a man Bidibob, that is one thing. MSK is a declared supporter who is all-in for Trump. He may have discarded the Principle of Charity on the stump, and fallen in the habit of psychologizing Trump doubters out of existence, transmuting them into damaged cognitive retards, trapped in hate and core stories, unworthy of engagement, lost to reason -- but is it Golden to reduce the field of contest to which ox is being gored? On balance, I say yes. It depends on whose ox is being gored. I have no ox in the game beside my sentimental favourite, former Calgarian now Christian-Authoritarian Cruz. I like seeing him gored about as much as I enjoy Trump or Bush or Clinton being gored. It is relative. I really only care about the result: what kind of monster will occupy 1600 Pennsylvania, and what will it mean for Canada?
