Psychological projection, from wiki:
In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions to others.
I am going to use the shortened projection for this diary, or maybe PP but they both come back to the title.
A little straight talk my friends, McCain's campaign is abusing this concept, actually they are raking it over hot burning coals before they put their cigeratte butts out on it. I am beginning to think they are going to accuse Obama of crashing a plane before October is out, that is how far they are projecting their faults onto Obama.
Rick Davis held a conference call this morning with all the networks and the sexy bobble heads that work for them. In this call Davis tries to slam Obama's donors as being unfair and tried to push the meme that something nefarious was going on. Yesterday McCain in all his glory stated that The American people should know where every penny came from," McCain said. "They know where every penny of my campaign contributions came from." You see my friends, this is projection, what McCain and his lackey Davis did was projecting their faults onto Obama. But what could be their faults? Why are they running to the press early in the morning to project their faults on Obama? The reason is as stunning as it is funny.
I suppose now would be a good time to mention that McCain had a former lobbyist for Georgia(the country not the state) as an advisor. Georgia and Russia recently had a little altercation and the U.S, striving to fence sit untill the fence is knocked down, gave sympathy and money to Georgia and nothing else. But this is old news, right? What could possibly come out of this, and besides we are safe anyway Palin can see Russia from her house. Well you see, it would look odd for McCain to have ties with both Georgia and Russia would it not? And in order to stifle this strangeness, the McCain campaign was once again forced to project thier faults.
In order to censor the perfect storm that would form if word got out that the McCain campaign had asked a Russian envoy to the U.N for a donation of up to $5,000 by October 24th, well the McCain campaign did what Rove either taught them or told them to do, and that is project. In order to get ahead of this shit storm they went on the attack early this morning and accused Obama of accepting donations from nefarious sources. Well I suppose you have to project if the Russian mission has to issue this statement:
"We have received a letter from Senator John McCain with a request for a financial donation to his presidential election campaign. In this respect we have to reiterate that neither Russia's permanent mission to the UN nor the Russian government or its officials finance political activities in foreign countries," the statement said.
About 4 or 5 hours after Rick Davis was crying to every reporter that would listen that Obama was taking "dirty money" or whatever they want to call it, news breaks that the McCain campaign has begged donations from Russia? Are you friggin kidding me? My friends, this is Psychological Projection from the straight talk express itself!
