It’s called the Taranto Principle, and it’s now being employed by the Kultursmogists to blanket the country in a preposterosity: namely that the Tea Partiers and the Occupy Wall Street crowd have much in common. So go ahead, loyal Democrats, and take up the Occupiers’ anger. Giving presidential voice to the Occupiers’ complaints will be a sure winner for President Obama in 2012.
Somehow, I think not. According to the Taranto Principle, first identified by distinguished Wall Street Journal writer James Taranto, the mainstream media concocts false truths that actually encourage liberal Democrats to extravagance; thus, Al Gore hyperventilates over global warming, Jean-Francois Kerry presents himself as a Vietnam War hero, and Obama sits awash in red ink and promises more.
