Corbyn's nemesis Archived Message Posted by scrabb on March 15, 2023, 9:20 pm, in reply to "Re: As delusional as you can get .." I think I've got the right guy. It was Karl Rove who was instrumental in Corbyn's demise, in that the dark forces out to destroy JC took a leaf out of Rove's playbook which was to " attack your enemies at their strongest point, not their weakest" which on the face of it goes against common sense. But it works. Corbyn's enemies started out with attacks on him as a friend of Russia and a traitor to his own country. They kept pursuing this line of him as a "dangerous socialist with wacky left-wing views" until it became apparent that it was having absolutely no effect on his popularity, and little traction on even those in the electorate who were his natural opponents. Indeed, poll after poll on the nationalisation of the railways and public utilities showed that these dangerous left-wing policies were garnering 60 and 70 per cent public support. Time, therefore, for a rethink. Some bright spark decided to attack him on his unimpeachable credentials as a fighter for human rights and lifelong campaigner against all forms of racism. How on earth would that work, some must have wondered. But it fukcing well did. Thank Mr Rove for that.
