How to defeat conservatives

How to defeat conservatives October 27, 2016

James O’Keefe, the undercover videographer who enrages leftists by recording what they say, has recorded Democratic operatives admitting to voting fraud, illegally colluding with the Clinton campaign,  and hiring agitators to start fights at Donald Trump rallies so as to associate the Republicans with violence.  (For all the tapes, go here.)

One of the operatives he interviews is Robert Creamer.  (For that video, go here.)

I’d like to turn your attention to something that  Creamer wrote back in 2007 in a book on how progressives can defeat conservatives.  His words are scarily prophetic.  They apply to more than just political conservatives, and they need to be remembered in the days ahead.  After the jump, read what he has to say.

From Stanley Kurtz, Alinskyite Tactics, Robert Creamer, and Us: Project Veritas | National Review:

In 2007, Robert Creamer published Stand Up Straight! How Progressives Can Win, a tactical handbook for the left that he wrote while serving a prison term for tax evasion and bank fraud. Creamer’s advice on how to handle conservatives (pp. 74-6) makes for interesting reading about now:

In general our strategic goal with people who have become conservative activists is not to convert them—that isn’t going to happen. It is to demoralize them—to ‘deactivate’ them. We need to deflate their enthusiasm, to make them lose their ardor and above all their self-confidence…[A] way to demoralize conservative activists is to surround them with the echo chamber of our positions and assumptions. We need to make them feel that they are not mainstream, to make them feel isolated… We must isolate them ideologically…[and] use the progressive echo chamber…By defeating them and isolating them ideologically, we demoralize conservative activists directly. Then they begin to quarrel among themselves or blame each other for defeat in isolation, and that demoralizes them further.
