#1 I have always accused lefties of pretending to have clairvoyant powers ("you wingnuts think Bush is God...." etc.) but I did not realize that this extended to precognition as well.

#2 ROFL!!! Oh brother, this is rich. What a fool and arrogant whiner.

Y'know, it's bizarre but true, I think. Every time I read a Dhimmicrat attack - the charge is something they are guilty of - invariably and usually well in advance of the Pub response. I know there has to be a term in logical reasoning that applies, but I can't recall it. Does anyone know the formal logical argument term for a pre-emptive charge of which the person making the charge is guilty? It literally defines Dhimmicrat politics and polemics. Amazing.

#3 com, I think its call projection. Accuse the other person of something you, yourself are doing. Its a propaganda technique. I think there is an propaganda analysis of Moore's fart-911 movie which mentions it (and a whole lot more).

The whole attack on Bush about his service is a projection to protect Kerry's own service record and his activities after the war.

So is the 'Bush Lied' line....

#4 CF - Yes, it's a standard in the propaganda game.

But in formal logical arguments there are a plethora of terms, ad hominen, etc, but I can't find one for this - and you know it's not a modern gambit - it has to have been around since Socrates drank the hemlock, heh. Just wanted to ID it - it has bugged me for months!

#5 So, Lewis is going to be fired, right?

#6 Projection is a term of psychology, I believe; it's a coping mechanism common among people with various personality disorders.

#7 And I want to go on record of the LIES that were spouted at the upcoming convention in NY. The terrible LIES against my 'Band of Brothers.' The unending LIES about my pet dog VC (who served in Vietnam). Finally the constant attack of LIES on my fellow lib... err DEMOCRATIC party members. I will have to write another letter to MoveOn and let loose another attack on the Bush Regime!

#8 Lol! Oh, wait - maybe I shouldn't laugh, yet... JFK-II might actually do this before the RNC opens...
