Conservatives are so confident about their ability to play the mainstream media that they’re now saying the quiet part out loud. After his successful work at getting the mainstream media to carry his anti-“woke” anti-“critical race theory” narratives, American conservative activist Christopher F. Rufo instructed them on the next step to tie terrorist organization Hamas to BLM and more.

“Conservatives need to create a strong association between Hamas, BLM, DSA, and academic “decolonization” in the public mind. Connect the dots, then attack, delegitimize, and discredit. Make the center-left disavow them. Make them political untouchables,” wrote the Senior Fellow at the center-right Manhattan Institute.

When his fellow conservatives pointed out that he was saying the quiet part out loud, he admitted it happily, “Lots of debate in the replies. Many critics arguing that I’m “saying the quiet part out loud.” To which I respond: Yes.”

Maybe you’re thinking, how much can one activist really do just tweeting his “ideas,” and sadly the answer to that is: A lot.

“How a Conservative Activist Invented the Conflict Over Critical Race Theory,” is the New Yorker‘s title over a 2021 piece on him. They note, “To Christopher Rufo, a term for a school of legal scholarship looked like the perfect weapon.” Rufo wrote to them, “‘Critical race theory’ is the perfect villain.”

1. Except BLM, nor any left leaning organizations tried to overthrow our government on 1/6/21

And tried to install their orange messiah as dictator.



BIG DIFFERENCE!

10. Doesn't matter, because their aim is too manipulate the media

and take advantage of the MSM being browbeaten as "biased".

They have been successful at getting the MSM to carry their water for 40+ years now.

[blm]

11. RightWing extremists in US align with Hamas.

[GuppyGal]

2. LOL Whut ?? Talk about an overreach and it's just laughable.

Nobody gonna listen to that shit that's my prediction

[Iggo]

3. You say "fall for it" like they're not in on it.

Horse race, baby!

Cha-ching!!!

[senseandsensibility]

4. This!

Plus they want the tax breaks.

[gratuitous]

16. Yup, push the lever and out comes a treat

The major media are well aware of how they're being used. As Les Moonves said (and this was one true instance of saying the quiet part out loud), getting suckered by the conservative noise machine is just too good for the bottom line. Why would they stop?

5. Conservatives know how to manipulate the media into popularizing their propaganda

using the media's unwritten rule to provide balanced coverage. But when one side wants to create false crises and gaslight Americans with faux attacks about imagined bogeymen, the tendency for "fairness" by the media is actually unfair to American citizens and the US itself. That's because such attacks are nearly impossible to defend-- along the lines of "When did you stop beating your wife?"

Second Member Of "Boogaloo Bois" Pleads Guilty to Conspiracy to Provide Material Support to Hamas

Tuesday, May 4, 2021
For Immediate Release
Office of Public Affairs
WASHINGTON – A Minnesota man pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to provide material support and resources, namely property, services and weapons, to what he believed was Hamas, a designated foreign terrorist organization, for use against Israeli and U.S. military personnel overseas.

According to court documents, Michael Solomon, 31, of New Brighton, Minn., was a member of the “Boogaloo Bois,” a group of individuals who espouse violent anti-government sentiments. In late May 2020, the FBI initiated an investigation into Solomon and co-defendant Benjamin Ryan Teeter, both members of the “Boogaloo Bois,” and a sub-group called the “Boojahideen.”

13. Here's an idea for BLM and DSA chapters, don't give this asshole so much material.

[Elessar Zappa]

17. Yeah those organizations haven't been very helpful to our cause.

I expected the DSA to react how they did but I was disappointed in some of BLM chapters’ response.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

14. So let's tie all traitor thugs

To insurrection, sedition, mass shootings, pedophilia, rape and domestic abuse.

Because so many of them are doing all of those things.

15. More important

question. Will the public fall for it?
