Best not to play the game of arguing the meaning of words and the labels they try to attach to people. It's B.S. to the nth degree

As usual...you've hit the nail right on the head, Andy. We never see any conservatives use any sort of "labeling" in order to further their political agenda.

Didn't say that. But it happens way more on the left. And the far left progressives have been trying to change traditional words and phrases to pervert their true meanings and assign some sort of racism to them. All of this stuff was done in the last century to manipulate people into hating others and excluding others who didn't agree with the State. The more chaos that is created the easier it is to get good people to give up their rights in the name of security. It's all classic stuff. When you get caught doing something wrong like lying then you just accuse the other person of doing the same thing and on and on. It's all in a handful of books written in the last century.
Name me some labels/names the right has created or changed the meaning of. And by the way, you're doing in your post. If the left gets caught acting badly just accuse the right of doing the same thing. Classic.

Would you mind listing that handful of books? I am looking for some new reading material for the winter months.

If I didn't know better...I'd think that you are talking about G. W. Bush and the Patriot Act here.

He should ask our new Supreme Court Justice how he feels about the 4th Amendment.

If you live in Chicago (I thought I remember that you did) then you should be familiar with books by Alynsky or Bill Ayers. You also have the writing of Chairman Mao, or Pravda in the Soviet period. How about Frances Fox Piven of Cloward and Piven wanting to crash the social system in her era?

Manipulating ignorant people to do their bidding is a hallmark of far left progressives.

Andy Asaro wants to accuse the Left of wrongdoing...but he doesn't want to be reminded that the Right is guilty of the exact same wrongdoing.

Neither side can claim the high ground on this issue, but I have to say the left is ahead on points for mindless rhetoric and for unity. As for the right, off the top of my head I can come up with social justice warrior, snowflake, libtard, masculinist, and cuck. Certainly not civil discourse.

Yes, the ignorant people always tend to gravitate to the far left...whereas the brilliant minds always align themselves with the far right.
Ahhh...Andy. When will you learn?

You ask me questions, I give you my answer, then you don't address my answer but get personal. See, you're very good at deflecting when you don't want to give an answer.

By this answer I take it you've read all of the ones I mentioned so why waste time asking me to list them? Every one of your posts when you interact with me is to deflect. What's up with that?
