It’s coming, so be prepared.
When asked questions about why they chose to make the looting a priority, in the hurricane zone, over providing help for the refugees in the form of food, water, shelter and security, the Bush administration will come up with some Carl Rovian slogan that will explain it all away, and then repeat it 95 times every time they talk to anyone.
Be prepared. Don’t take the bait. When they use these techniques - call them on it. It is perfectly appropriate - and necessary - to point it out when they are deliberately and obviously trying to mislead us with rhetoric and propaganda.
Update: It looks like I had it wrong. They decided to go with the find an enemy and get everyone to focus on them route. That enemy - the “looters.” It was such a priority for them that they decided to take personal away from helping the sick and dying, and had them stop the looting instead. Where do their priorities lie anyway.
