I just read this interview @ PDI:<br /><br />http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20090917-225620/Ten-people-came-to-my-office-with-10-rifles<br /><br />It seems these tactics aren't exclusively for the less powerful members of society. The powers that be can use the same tactics to manipulate the masses. In the United Utates a campaign of disinformation is being waged by right-wing nuts and insurance companies against some sane health reforms that would benefit the worst off of society.<br /><br />I'd like to know instances when these tactics resulted in substantial clarification of the issues. It seems when either side starts to use these tactics, the other is forced to do so as well and everything just degenerates into infantile bickering.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659768324320065485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623650882796636418.post-30013030766862331562009-09-17T10:25:46.194+08:002009-09-17T10:25:46.194+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659768324320065485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623650882796636418.post-31011256417550730172009-09-17T09:48:21.798+08:002009-09-17T09:48:21.798+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659768324320065485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623650882796636418.post-82506821914761635482009-09-17T09:43:29.828+08:002009-09-17T09:43:29.828+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659768324320065485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623650882796636418.post-42346131229651220152009-09-09T11:43:02.698+08:002009-09-09T11:43:02.698+08:00naks naman, talo pa ang isang pol sci major.
