One reader's rave

"Thanks for the newspaper with your book review. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with this terrific piece of writing. It is beautiful, complex, scholarly. Only sorry Mr. Freire cannot read it!" -- Ailene

The Wrapup Smear -- Explained and Exemplified in the Very Same Video!

So, a severely bubbled friend sent me a video purportedly showing Nancy Pelosi describing "the Democrat playbook" known as the "wrapup smear." It's a tactic for demonizing your political enemies to distract from the real issues. You can see her explaining it here:

As you can see, she's ascribing this tactic to Republicans, but in reality both capitalist parties practice it (and, to the more limited extent their position permits, so do more marginal political elements).

But you wouldn't know this from the clip my friend sent me -- because the part mentioning Republicans has been edited out. This is what allows the narrator to claim Pelosi is making a confession about her own party's methods. It should be needless to say that Pelosi is too smart to say any such thing in front of C-SPAN's cameras.
