Alinsky’s Rules for radicals: “RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.“
Of all the stupidest reasons to “support” a $4.59 10 year million school bond issue, bringing in the notion that we have to build an expensive new building so a sniper can’t pick off kids as they walk the 20 feet from the portable classrooms (which have been there for YEARS) to the main building has to be leading the pack. Yeah, that’s what you DIDN’T hear when WMUR ran their story (yes, the “journalists of record” can’t get the BIGGEST part of the story right). What also wasn’t said is that the School Superintendent wants “more building” with a declining enrollment. You can listen to the ENTIRE Budget Committee meeting here for the entire context (not embeddable sorry). And yes, you do need to listen starting around 38 minutes in and listen why people like Jorge are needed by taxpayers. And then listen to the part that WMUR left out at 46:41. NONE of his fellow budget committee members, when Jorge mentions what the School Board “infomercial” said got up in arms. NONE of those in attendance raised an issue.
And here is what WMUR put up from that video – SEE how they “conveniently” leave out the reference to the School Board infomercial that led to this (again, not embeddable – cheapskates; NH1 has a post but I can’t get it to play)
You see, context matters (but not to WMUR). And then these spouters of the stupidest reason of all go beserk when somebody has the temerity to MOCK them using their own argument and word choice? How outlandish, how divisive, how violent, how UnPC! Don’t you understand that WE have the moral high ground because SNIPERS! Sheesh. Morons, all. And then watching WMUR last nite, well, they are now complicit in this.
Speaking of Jorge (the Budget Committee Chair in Hampstead)
