I mentioned specific examples, how's that "broad general statements". And there are no qualifiers, the pinciples the same. The only thing 'braod' is your failure to address any of the actual points raised in favour of speciousness.

Have you ever heard of "borking"? It predates swiftboating by 20 years.

Perhaps the best known use of the verb to bork occurred in July 1991 at a conference of the National Organization for Women in New York City. Feminist Florynce Kennedy addressed the conference on the importance of defeating the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court. She said, "We're going to bork him. We're going to kill him politically. . . . This little creep, where did he come from?"[3] Thomas was subsequently confirmed after one of the most divisive confirmation fights in Supreme Court history.
| A sample of Senator Ted Kennedy borking Bork at the Senate confirmation hearings: "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, children could not be taught about evolution."
Yep, Kennedy calls Bork a racist, a savage and a cretin during confirmation hearings. Another Senator (I couldn't find his quote) said Bork was "creepy" when referring to Bork's looks. Bork is not the most handsome of men. He has been compared to Jabba the Hutt. |
... and? What's your point? You're shifting the posts. Deliberately or not you're obfuscating from the point I originally made.

How on earth is Alinsky suddenly elevated to the position of political strategist for the Democrats!?
