Do you think liberals prey on everyones emotions and fears as a way of manpulating the american public?

Question

i've found that most liberals always adress the people through emotional heart strings and fear. obama of recent past was talking about immigration, or more aptly put, "illegal immigrants", saying that we are separating still nursing babies away from their mothers. huh? i don't think we've ever done that, but what an impact that can make on us with our guilt coming into play. how inhumane it would be to this? we must do something to stop these atrocities! personally i'm tired of being emotianlly manipulated and having fear thrown in my face just so i can see "their" side.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I wonder if Obama would kill hundreds of thousands and destabilize a Middle East nation over foolish emotion, his own fear and resentment...:

And, in discussing the threat posed by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Bush said: "After all, this is the guy who tried to kill my dad."

Answer 3

it's clear that democrats are well versed on how to do this...logic and reason rarely wins out over the tragic case study

it's the only way they can advance their agenda, cloud the minds of voters with the story of Jane Doe, who wanted to die so badly but couldn't because euthaniasia was illegal in her state

Answer 4

I think it is done on both sides of the aisle, but probably more in quantity and shrillness by the Democrats.

They talk about how the evil Republicans will make the following worse: climate change, the environment, medical care, medicare, social security, welfare, poor people, etc, etc.

Of course, the Republicans do it about national security and taxes.

Playing on peoples' fears is effective. Unfortunately.

Answer 5

You're completely misrepresenting what he said while ignoring the fact that there nave been numerous situations where ICE has detained adult illegal aliens while their kids were at school.  Families are being affected.  If you don't care then be honest and say you don't care.  But don't try and pretend that it isn't happening.

Answer 6

heck yes! they do it all the time! everyone does it.especially democrats. the democrats just want us to be a socialism country. they think we could just talk to people so we could be friends with us. we can't though. its too late. they hate our guts! we cant use our emotions anymore, we must use our heads to save our country. our country should be the main thing the the democrats think about, nothing other then our country. they cant feel simpathy for the countries who attacked us first! American lives are at stake! we cant be nice to them. be meaner then your enemy. always!

Answer 7

No.

Democrats 2008

Answer 8

yes, THINK OF THE CHILDREN is their favorite phrase, OMG the KIDS we must pass all these new taxes because we have to save kids

Answer 9

LOL LOL LOL LOL

Oh man that was good.  I agree but come on...

"The terrorists are gonna get us.", "If g**s marry then families will start raping America's children", "We're fighting them there so they won't come here", "If we cannot spy on our own people then n***s will attack our shores on the back of dinosaurs", "We need to censor everything because if a child sees one sexual thing they will grow up to be a serial killer".

The conservatives have been playing the fear card for the past 8 years, playing the "red blooded american" card, playing the "We need to start a war in order to save others" card

kinda hypocritical right now to blame the liberals for doing same thing....I mean if your pissed that they are cutting into conservative's action I can understand but...lol seriously what is good for goose is good for gander

Answer 10

hey , that method worked for bush in the build up to the invasion of iraq . why can't liberals co-opt the same tactics ?

Answer 11

it's not just liberals who prey on emotions and fears. i mean, look at bush, that's all he's done. why do you think were in iraq now? all he preached was wmds...wmds...wmds. how many wmds have we found in iraq...0 and  over 4,000 people are just as dead, because he had to have his little war. if he wouldn't have preyed on our our fears, we wouldn't be in iraq now.

don't eve get me started on separating illegal immigrants and their children. when illegal immigrants come to this country and have children, they know they're in this country illegally and they know that if located, there's a great chance of being deported. they put their children in the position they're in...not the u.s. govt.

Answer 12

Yup, I'd say that you've got a pretty good line on what "liberals" are all about.

The Audacity of Audacity! '08

Answer 13

"Do you think liberals prey on everyones emotions and fears as a way of manpulating the american public?"

Kind of the pot calling the kettle black. Vote Republican or get killed  by a terrorist! "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud!" What terror level alert are we on now? See also that recent billboard with the Twin Towers begging people not to vote Democrat.

This one was easy.

Answer 14

the politics of fear is how lil'bush got in the 2nd time.  mccain is going to lean that way too, eventually.

one of mmcain's cronies already said a terror attack on the US would be an advantage for him...  because US citizens would be scared again.

well, war didn't do the US much good for the past 6 yrs.  

while the US citizens were afraid, the bush, cheney and haliburton bank accounts got fat.

Answer 15

There may be some truth in what you say...but you seem to be totally unaware that the Republicans base much of their campaigns on emotions and fear around terrorism, "islamo-fascism", crime, abortion, religion, alternative lifestyles  and immigration, etc.

PS No one can emotionally manipulate you unless you allow them to. It's up to you how you react to this stuff

Answer 16

LMAO!!!  Republicans do the same exact thing.  Except their brand of fear-mongering involves terrorists trying to kill you and illegal immigrants coming to steal your jobs.

Answer 17

Nope I think the Republican conservatives s***w us over...period.

Answer 18

I hate to say this but Fu@K the kids. I chose to have what kids I could afford to raise, educate, and start on a successful life. If you or someone chooses otherwise it is not my fault, my burden, or my problem. Forget taxing me out of the good life to care for their kids. Their choice, their responsibility, and if they are here illegally then send the kids back to their parents country with a life time ban on their entire family. As for the Liberals if they want to help the kids then let them donate every thing they own and become homeless. Until I see that kind of charity from them I say no to their bleeding heart give aways of my money!

Answer 19

NO

but.. if you take an Honest look at your question you will see your doing just that   !!!!

Liberals are bad and scary and emotional

Lions and Tigers and Bears

oh my !

Answer 20

Have you EVEN been paying attention to what the current administration has done over the past 7 years?!?!?!

You can't have been, and then ask this question.

They should have copyrights on the practice of preying on everyone's emotions and fears.

Answer 21

Republicans do the same thing!
