[QUOTE=Fraqrat;171744]Ok I’ll bite…what’s your beef with Efythis this fella?[/QUOTE]
I don’t really have a beef with the guy, but I have a problem with people who deliberately try to mislead, deceive, or otherwise lie to others to “manufacture consent” to garnish support for some economic or political aim. Especially when the economic and political gains do harm to those parties being misled.
In my view, Eftychis and his group of special interests are seeking to enrich themselves and a small minority of others at the great expense of many others and they are willing to decieve and propagate erroneous and or incomplete conclusions to accomplish this. They have created a think tank to come up with their ploys and they have used the reputation and perceived legitimacy of the National Review platform to give themselves a shroud of credibility.
The source matters, the context of media messages becomes clearer when the actual sources and motives are revealed.
Ofcourse its obvious that this article is special interest BS, but I like to put names and faces on it.
I am going to call this guy tomorrow and just talk with him about his views, anyone have any questions they want me to ask?
Then I’m going to call the national review and ask them about their relationship with the Conservative Future Project and Eftychis and ask them how such a biligerent rant was allowed to be published.
