You smear somebody with falsehoods and all the rest, and then you merchandise it. And then you write it, and they will say, ‘See, it’s reported in the press that this, this, this, and this,’ so they have that validation that the press reported the smear, and then it’s called the wrap‑up smear. ‘Now I’m going to merchandise the press’s report on the smear that we made.’ It’s a tactic, and it’s self‑evident."


Or watch for yourself starting at 26:30. https://www.c-span.org/video/?430348...support-caucus


So ironic that you are unwittingly (or purposefully) doing precisely what she's talking about in this video.
The Dems have performed this masterfully in the last two months.

I don't think Ginsberg should have said what she said.

But I think that's been nullified byrecent events and now we all know what we're dealing with. A court that is anything bur impartial.

But it was the Ds that ran the obviously coordinated smear campaign. Didn't even try to hide it, well barely. "Beach friend" FBI agents, lol.

I am not a man, nor am I white. The perception that the Democratic Party has declared war on Christian, straight, white men is rooted in actions and words that make it look like that is exactly what has happened. Just go watch the tape of the junior senator from Hawaii telling men to “shut up”. No one has forced her to walk back from that outrageous response so they must approve. It is not whiney to point out that something is unfair when it is actually happening to you.

It was " put on your big boy pants, shut up and step up " ,
aka privileged men stop being cry babies and do your job.

Much much more civil then whining out in a rage that a female Senator and the Clintons are out to get you.

Why why why would a female Senator and the Clinton s be out to get Brett Kavenaugh ?

It's blatantly obvious, it's in the news all the time. How can anyone tolerate racism like this? BTW I'm not white and I think this is disgusting.

A California State University, Fresno professor says the literary community "must DEMAND that white editors resign," saying it is intolerable for them to hold "positions of power."

In a chapter for a new "Handbook of Race and Arts in Education," a University of North Texas art education professor argues that K-12 teachers should work to combat "geometries of whiteness."
