Have all you cons read the Bush Administrations manual on how to squash dissent?

Question

http://www.aclu.org/pdfs/freespeech/presidential_advance_manual.pdf

LOL, the first idiot con thinks Clinton was President in 2002.

And another cons thinks Johnson was a republican AND President in 2002.

Cons crack me up.

Answer 1

What's even more amusing, in a sad way, is how much of the manual has been "redacted."

In regard to the first person to answer this question, maybe there should be a "Clinton' drinking game for Yahoo Answers: post a question critical of Bush and, every time someone mentions Clinton, have a drink.

Just be sure not to drive after playing this game. You wouldn't want to be arrested for a DUI, like Bush.

Answer 2

She actually went so a techniques as to declare overt help for the enemy replaced into patriotic. As for the different 0.5 of your question, it fairly is a mistake to think of Obama and/or his pores and skin have something to do with it. in case you could undergo in strategies decrease back to the final time Democrats have been on top of issues, you realize that each physique dissent via every person from something suggested/completed via ANY Democrat is often suggested to tutor racism - in spite of if the two persons' races/colorings are the comparable.

Answer 3

I hate to tell you, but I worked for the Kerry-Edwards campaign, and our advance people must have been working from a very similar manual. All rallies were divided into three classes of tickets: Red (VIPs and good photo ops), Blue (known democrats, volunteers, union reps), and White (general public). The city police officers who were stationed near the magnetometers would confiscate Bush signs and protest banners on the grounds that they could prevent the Secret Service from seeing a shooter. And we had our own version of the Republican "rally squads" -- instead of fratboys and college republican weenies, teams of unions members in matching t-shirts (usually Teamsters or firemen) would surround protesters, drown them out, block their signs, and occasionally physically intimidate them. (I attended a Gore speech in 2000, and his campaign appeared to be taking the same steps.)

While there may be differences in execution and style, Democratic rallies are no more an expression of spontaneous public sentiment than Republican rallies. Elections receive more media coverage than ever, largely from reporters who are completely unqualified to talk about public policy; as a result, political news is dominated by polls or man-bites-dog feature stories. Campaigns have responded by carefully choreographing every moment of every public appearance to minimize the possibility of a "Ben Marble" media moment.

I'm not proud of having participated in that.

Answer 4

Very interesting. But I think it is mislabeled. It is, in fact, a manual for the Brown Shirts, first printed in 1931 in Munich.

The GOP has always hated the American ideal of dissent, especially when someone like Bush hasn't the intelligence to counter demonstrators. You'd never see Clinton shying away from the bullyboys of the Right. But Republicans can't deal with it - that's why all Bush's engagements for the past 61/2 years have been stage managed (like your link points out) and he has been shielded from Americans who dissent.

Well done, my friend. And well done, ACLU, who fight for American freedom everyday. The conservatives hate the ACLU because they speak the truth. The right is much better hiding behind its wall of lies.

Answer 5

The irony is that most of them think there is NO manual for squashing dissent. I would have liked to read the information that was "redacted".....

Answer 6

I'm not really interested in 'squashing' dissent.

Strangely, that puts me at odds with the PC crowd more often than the neo-McCarthyists.

Answer 7

I couldn't open your site but since Bush is the president I elected I say he can do as he pleases. Clinton did and I had no say in that either.

Answer 8

Yes I do but, I can,t remember,I don't recall

Answer 9

I have and it's enough to make a person puke.

Answer 10

Yes, it is the same manual that Clinton used.
All presidents use it.
Why would anyone read anything put out by the ACLU?
Do you actually hate America that much?
As much as the ACLU does?
