THE BLUEPRINT (per Beck)
Passages from Creamer's Listen to your Mother, Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win are in "quotes". Rough notes on Beck's commentary or clips are in italics. --bc
- RIGHT – “We must create a national consensus that health care is a right, not a commodity; and that government must guarantee that right.”
- CRISIS – “We must create a national consensus that health care system is in crisis.”
- DISCREDIT - “Our messaging program over the next two years should focus on reducing the credibility of the health insurance industry and focusing on the failure of private health insurance.”
- DEALS – “We need to systematically forge relationships with large sectors of the business/employer community.”
- SCARE POLS – “We need to convince political leaders that they owe their elections, at least in part, to the groundswell of support of universal health care, and that they face political peril if they fail to deliver on universal health care in 2009.”
- CONSENSUS – “We need not agree in advance on the components of a plan, but we must foster a process that can ultimately yield consensus.” (Just pass it quickly – it doesn’t matter what’s in it [do legislators know what’s in the 2000+ page bills?], we can tweak it later)
- ORGANIZE – “Over the next two years, we must design and organize a massive national field program.” (Unions, Organizing for America, ACORN, HCAN, AARP, SEIU, etc. / SEIU? has been delivering political beat downs to Wal-Mart and most recently Comcast)
- CHURCH/UNIONS – “We must focus especially on the mobilization of the labor movement and the faith community.” (Check church websites – three clicks and you’re on the HCAN website.)
- ACORN, ETC. – “We must systematically leverage the connections and resources of a massive array of institutions and organizations of all types.” (Barack Obama on Chicago Public Radio in 2001: “…One of the, I think tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing… and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change.” )
- $ - “To be successful, we must put in place commitments for hundreds of millions of dollars to be used to finance paid communications and mobilization once the battle is joined.” (Tides Foundation, SEIU spent $60M to elect Obama, HCAN has contributed heavily to promot Obamacare)
- CREATE FEAR – “To win we must not just generate understanding, but emotion, fear, revulsion, anger, disgust.” (Obama leveled this at doctors… ripping out tonsils and cutting off feet for money. Calling Tea Party goers angry mobs, etc. Pelosi and Obama administration has stirred up all these tactics while pointing at the right and accusing them of fear tactics.)
Do you recognize these steps? Have they happened? Yah, they have... every stinking one! --bc Read More......
