“Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
This quote has bopped around for quite some time. It is at times attributed to Communists Vladimir Lenin and Karl Marx, National Socialist Joseph Goebbels and sometimes even modern Leftist godfather Saul Alinsky.
Regardless of its origin – Leftists are so very excellent at it. In their high school AV Clubs – Leftists ran the projectors.
Losing 2016 Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton just spoke at Liberty University (why, Liberty, WHY?) – wearing a Russian hat. So clever. In an attempt to poke at the fact-free year-plus investigation into the guy who beat her – Republican President Donald Trump.
Trump is, of course, alleged to have “colluded” (whatever that means – it ain’t a legal term) with Vladimir Putin, Inc. Never mind the fact that there was zero evidence of any such thing. Either before the launch of said investigation – or at any point since.
You know where there’s long been tons of evidence of blatant Russia collusion? With the hat-wearing Hillary Clinton. Both as Secretary of State…

…and as Presidential Candidate Clinton…
Clinton Campaign, DNC Paid for Research that Led to Russia Dossier
Ah yes…the Russia Dossier.
The Democrats’ Russia Dossier is the sole impetus for the ongoing, endlessly-dragging-on, totally-bogus special counsel investigation.
And before that was the sole impetus for all the bogus warrants the Barack Obama Administration secured against the Trump campaign. All a part of the Obama Administration’s totally bogus investigation – Code Name: Crossfire Hurricane.
All of this nonsense – based on a bunch of highly bogus nonsense sought and received by Democrats from…Russians.
With whom the Democrats obviously had to collude – in order to get their nonsense information.
Oh: And lest we forget – the Obama Administration was implanting multiple spies inside the Trump campaign.
Democrats aplenty – all engaged in a colossal, bogus, nonsense investigation.
All to drum up false charges – of Trump illegally altering the 2016 election.
And by doing all of this – the Democrats were and are actually, really, truly – illegally altering the 2016 election.
“Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
There are droves of doctoral theses’ worth of these glaringly hypocritical examples. Here’s another.
Network Neutrality – is a terrible idea for the Internet. It’s Socialism for the Web – it guarantees everyone equal amounts of nothing.
Full Net Neutrality imposition – will soon have all of us eating digital pigeons.
Because Net Neutrality results in full-on government control of the Net. Don’t believe me? Here’s avowed Marxist and college professor (please pardon the redundancy) Robert McChesney – one of the leaders of the Media Marxist movement:
“At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control.”
Well that’s fantastic.
In the colossal, bogus, nonsense campaign to drum up support for Net Neutrality – the Left accuses private sector Internet Service Providers (ISPs) of a parade of prospective horribles.

Net Neutrality – How to Avoid Being Blocked or Throttled
On the first “news” story: Yet again, if a headline contains speculative clauses like “could” – it isn’t an actual news headline. It’s a psychic reading.
On the second “news” story: Yet again, these massive regulations were only in place for a little over a year. Which means for the preceding two-plus decades – they weren’t in place. Did ISPs block and/or throttle content during said two-plus decades? Even the most virulent Net Neutrality supporter begrudgingly admits…no, they did not.
On the third “news” story: How does one avoid being blocked or throttled? Keep the government a million miles away from (over-)regulating the Internet.
Because for the last quarter-century, it hasn’t been ISPs blocking and throttling. It’s been governments. Lots and lots and LOTS of governments.

Again: Not ISPs censoring the Web – governments censoring the Web.
Over, and over, and over, and….
Which is exactly where our domestic pro-Net Neutrality Leftists wish to take us.
“Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
The Left is VERY good at it.
