Liberal Oasis: don't be fooled on Alito
The Alito spin operation is not about provoking any sort of grand philosophical debate. We are not hearing challenge the insidious liberal legal elite over the flawed reasoning in Griswold, Roe and Lawrence.

No, the spin team is all about duping liberals and moderates into thinking Alito is an “open-minded” conservative who will respect precedent.

<snip

Conservatives know what’s going on.

John Roberts threw a lot of sand in our eyes over privacy too, using coded language that would dupe clueless headline writers, but not rattle clued-in conservatives.

<snip

Our job is to preemptively undermine Alito's credibility before the LieFest, otherwise known the hearings, by showing the true nature of his agenda found in his past work.




They are spinning the media with words designed to soothe liberals, but conservatives know the code, and know he's still their man. Don't ever trust them--they will lie as much as it takes to wrap up this important SC seat.

1. dog-whistle politics at their best
They make noises only their followers can hear, while clueless MSM types play the willing dupes.

2. I think you're exactly right. To see the truth, just go to the opposite
of what they say.
