\nBut what stood out head and shoulders even with my limited focus was on how horrible Clinton seemed. Oh, superficially she had the patter down best, and she had a clear presentation strategy: to use every opportunity to remind her audience of the breadth of her experience, on how many times she\u2019d been a power player. Let us put aside the fact that pretty much everything she\u2019s touched, from her effort to launch a national health plan to her tenure at State, has been a disaster.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I posted the following comment<\/a> on the article:<\/p>\n

\nI am surprised that nobody has commented on the Howard Dean strategy. The corporate media ended Howard Dean’s candidacy by repeatedly showing a doctored video portraying Dean as too angry.<\/p>\n

Some of the local “news” shows I watched played that doctored video several times in one news show. By several, I mean at least 5 times.<\/p>\n

Even I thought that though the doctored video was objectively false, that the media were trying to portray an underlying characteristic of Dean that they detected. Even I thought he was an angry man. Now I know that he was rightfully angry, but just ahead of his time.<\/p>\n

I don’t think this tactic is going to work against Bernie Sanders because this time around the voters are just as angry.<\/p>\n

Our counterattack is that “Oligarchs Say That Bernie Sanders Did Not Win The Debate” That meme puts Bernie Sanders’ name next to the idea of winning the debate. Think of the other ways you could phrase the meme that would put the wrong name in the same sentence as winning the debate.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
