DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS....
Angry White Males have been prey for political Authoritarians since the early days of the Cold War. Nixon and Atwater perfected the tactics.
Now at Moonie Times, Frank Gaffney goes off on President Obama with a similar fantasy appeal.
The governing delusion is that Obama is a secret Muslim as well as a secret threat to America and The Constitution.
BELOW THE FOLD for a sampling of obviously disturbed comments together with the related DSM IV Personality Disorders. Nixon, Atwater, and then Rove and Limbaugh and Gaffney -- founders for a community of madness.
BTW: These will remind you of the hate-mail kos posts on Saturdays. von Brunn is one of many.
The good news is that the targeted Personality Disorders account for less than 5% of the population. The bad news is that 5% would yield 15,000,000 disturbed individuals -- each at higher risk to sanity from these induced fantasies.
Restraints against extreme thought and action are weakened where irrational fantasies are encouraged. These 15,000,000 individuals would also be expected to experience general frustration in their daily lives. Situational depression and sleep disorders are a frequent results.
Rightie fanaticism is associated principally with three categories of mental flaws:
-- Cluster A personality disorders
Paranoid personality disorder: characterized by irrational suspicions and mistrust of others, life-patterns organized to fit long-term schemes, delusional projection of dishonesty on others -- e.g. Cheney, Gaffney, Limbaugh.
Schizoid personality disorder: lack of interest in social relationships, seeing no point in sharing time with others, envy and hatred of normals -- e.g. most bombers.
Schizotypal personality disorder: also avoids social relationships, though out of a fear of people -- e.g., the shooter of police officers in Pittsburgh.
External fantasy worlds dominate the Cluster A PDs.
-- Cluster B personality disorders
Antisocial personality disorder: "pervasive disregard for the law and the rights of others." -- the mold for Angry White Male.
Borderline-to-psychotic personality disorder: extreme "black and white" thinking, instability in relationships, self-image, identity and behavior, can adopt an external image in place of a personal adult self-presentation -- e.g. any bible-thumping go-to-Hell screamer.
Histrionic personality disorder: "pervasive attention-seeking behavior including inappropriate sexual seductiveness and shallow or exaggerated emotions" -- e.g. Bachmann (with repressed sexuality.)
Narcissistic personality disorder: "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and a lack of empathy" -- e.g. George Bush
The Cluster B's are lost in themselves.
-- Drug use.
Pill-poppers by the millions, abusing opioids such as OxyContin and the mood altering benzos such as Valium and the heavy antidepressants. These addicts overwhelmingly blame others for their situations -- blacks and illegals and social immorality and abortion and just about anything that avoids personal responsibility.
"External locus of control" is the key phrase.
Nixon and Atwater invented the specific tactics, first when Nixon was running for the House in California against a normal person, Jerry Vorhees. Rove expanded these appeals to reach Cluster A external fantasies and Cluster B and doper "external locus of control" delusions.
Limbaugh and hate-radio provide a setting that repeats the main fantasies, as though shared across a general community. "The Silent Majority" of Nixon, redux.
Frank Gaffney appeal to disturbed individuals.
"Repeat a lie a thousand times and it becomes a truth" -- the Joseph Goebbels version of a Greek saying. this is more of the same.
So here we get to the evidence.
Here come dozens of Personality Disorder afflicted individuals -- taking the bait hook-line-and-sinker. Damaged by the hate-speech of this propaganda project:
http://www.snopes.com/... --- simple copy of the Obama birth certificate.
-- The Obama is a liar. The Qur’an beseeches all "believers" to lie to Kafirs (non-believers), if it is for the good of Islam. The Obama cheats, breaks agreements, breaks contracts and seems to follow the Qur’an quite well.
-- No, it is not irrelevant that a Moslem presently occupies the Office of the Presidency of the United States. The Oath of Office requires him to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Sharia is the goal of Islam which means the domination of Islamic law which is in direct contravention and is antithetical to the Constitution.
-- He is also the first, Illegal alien , allowed in the White House.
-- It all goes back to the Five Pillars of Education and the Five Pillars of the Economy. Bet you never heard anyone else talk of the Five Pillars of this-or-that before, now did you?
-- Chameleoun-like, Mr. Obama displays the happy talent of appearing to be all things to all people, on demand. But his history displays a consistent deep antagonism toward the traditional American society and its values.
-- Thank You, Mr. Gaffney! Sooner or later Barack Obama will be "revealed" for the Muslim that he is!
-- WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE??
-- We can put an end to the usurper's reign of terror and his march to communisn if we all demand from our congressmen to get the truth, WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE??
-- FACT: Barry Soetoro, who later changed his name to Barrack Hussein Obama, was raised in Indonesia where he attended a madrassa named Fransiskus Assisi in Jakarta. From there he traveled to Pakistan on an Indonesian Student passport and therefor has at best dual citizenship. And he was schooled by muslims.
-- If the Usurper is ligit, why has he spent upwards of a cool $million in attorneys to hide the truth from the public?? If the usurper is ligit, the most it would cost him would be a few bucks for a certified copy of his original birth certificate and the truth would be open for all to see.
-- The evil this man perpetrates is communism. Read the Communist Party USA policy/plans, at CPUSA; they match really well with the current goals of this acting president. And come on now; how or why is someone who can clear up his birth spending so much money denying showing it? Not honest is the best to be said of this action.
-- Brilliant article and it says the "forbidden" facts the Obama loving media would never highlight. In coming months will it be absurd to think that perhaps Obama is the "Manchurian Candidate" as he more and more charts a path of destroying our economy and all safeguards of our Constitution and freedom heritege?
-- Yes, usurper!! I guess to some of you, the provisions of the Constitution and Bill of Rights mean nothing.
-- "Even more troubling"....... In fact the evidence is that Americans are not troubled at all.
-- ...but in sharia you have two types of citizens one is the muslim & the other is Kaffir the unbeliver who must be subdued / killed if rejects islam or pay tribute & live like second class citizens. If any one supports or propogates sharia law it is against the law of the Land
-- I'll say it - Krugman is not only a radical nut, he's a traitor. I'd like to see him spew his stuff in any Muslim country and stay alive. As for Obama - he's proving more and more that he hates America and all we stand for. He is not a natural born citizen and should never be allowed near the White House
-- You people can't stand it when someone speaks the TRUTH. He's a MUSLIM get use to it. You sheeple! Let him ruin the country and then you'll big the biggeat BITCHes in town.
-- Mr. Gaffney got this one correct. I can tell by how many Obamaheads are crying foul.
-- Where's the birth certificate you ask? Locked up and cost the Obama's $1 million to do so. Now why would anyone fork out that kind of money unless they're trying to hide something. Like the birth religion: Muslim. Where's the transparency?
-- An authentic birth certificate has never been produced. The piece of toilet paper displayed on the democratic web site won't even buy you a cup of coffee. There is nothing on the FEC website as someone has suggested. If the Usurper is legit, why has he spent upwards of a cool $million in attorneys to hide the truth from the public?? If the usurper is legit, the most it would cost him would be a few bucks for a certified copy of his original birth certificate and the truth would be open for all to see. Funny thing is that the rest of We the People have to produce same for a measly driver's license or a passport. We can put an end to the usurper's reign of terror and his march to communisn if we all demand from our congressmen to get the truth, WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE??
-- He may or may not be a Muslim, but there is little doubt in my mind but that he is very sympathetic toward them. This not good, and is very dangerous for the USA.
-- The Birth Certificate cover up is to keep the media from finding the real smoking gun - BARRY SOETORO's INDONESIAN PASSPORT. The AP tried to bury the story and photo: http://smithfiles.com/... And then it gets weirder. Two people in the State Department breached Hussein's US Passport. One of the people, Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., was cooperating with police when he was shot dead. This never appeared in the MSM. http://obamanati.info/... Hussein is hiding a lot more than his muslim roots.
-- Actually, a March On Washington For The Birth Certificate might be a good idea, but may I propose two more appropriate marches: One to Hawaii and one to Kenya, perhaps simultaneously. Better start packing. It's a long way. As for those who virulently hate government, I wish there was a way would could stear all the uninspected meat and unapproved medicine to them, and arrange for them to put out their own fires, catch their own criminals, pave their own roads, and finance their own medical research, and clean up themselves after floods and tornados and fires.
-- The answer is not to live in denial that we have an Indonesian Muslim in the White House but to say: "Fine, at least we can use the wisdom of a Latina Woman on the Supreme Court." Don't you see, being a white man in America is not 'the in thing"? You guys need to get a sex change procedure, learn some espanol, get some dark paint and pick up a Holy Koran. vets74::: that's a good snark.
-- In keeping with their ususal syncophatic behavior the Obat posters attack the author of the article, because they know that he is correct. Have any of you been potty trained?
-- Once again, "simpleton," a certification of live birth IS NOT a certified birth certificate. Get it straight and just matbe you'll see through the propaganda the dems and left media have thrown out to you!
Spelling, as per the source. There's about 100 of the same.
K.I.S.S. The GOP is now joined at the hip with a selected subset -- possibly a majority -- of America's mentally ill. The GOPers as a political party are getting what they want.
