LIBERADIO(!)

In her latest TNGOP Weekly Report, Chairperson Smith hauls out her dictionary to “verify the accurate application” of words like socialism, communism, stalinism (that’s a new one!), facism, and collectivism (the adulterer Ayn Rand would be proud) “to certain policies championed by the President, the Senate and House Democrats in the U.S. Congress, and the Democrat Party.” Here’s one she missed:

Robin Smithism: –noun

1. a theory held by the chairperson of the Tennessee GOP that advocates an automatic rejection – for partisan reasons – of any idea(s) put forth by the opposition; see “hackery”;
2. procedure or practice of using melodramatic “-isms” as scare tactics to whip your base up into a fear-driven frenzy to further a knee-jerk rejection to the policies of the opposition party
3. the stage following stupendous losses by your national party during a presidential election and in the absence of any real platform or policy initiatives you resort to baseless and inflammatory accusations

UPDATE: Enclave Mike on why such tactics aren’t working – whether they are Smithisms or Corkerisms.
