Dems get schooled on racist messaging

Last week I told you that House Democrats were engaging in a little pow-pow on how to incorporate racial messaging into their arguments … particularly their arguments on the need for government programs.  The presentation for the Democrats was given by a woman named Maya Wiley of the Center for Social Inclusion.  Some news agencies got their hands on some of the material covered in this presentation.  No,  it wasn’t the traditional ObamaMedia agencies that dug around for this information.  Are you kidding me?  Their job is to protect Obama, and therefore the Democrats … not to troll around and expose how they are being trained to turn everything into an issue of race!

Anyway … Wiley apparently declared in her presentation that "typical conservative messaging" is "racially coded."  That “code” is trying to convince voters (read: white voters) that government spending is bad because black people benefit from it.  She says, "The opposition usually makes poor people of color or government or both the enemy," Wiley wrote in her presentation. "Sometimes it is useful to identify a different enemy and even call attention to the attempt to divide us.”

You can read more about her presentation here.  For example, Obama appropriately targeted the insurance companies as the “enemy” in the battle over ObamaCare.  But Wiley did have another telling comment.  She has some advice for Democrats who are trying to woo "someone [who] opposes racial justice" but could support Democrat policies: "Don't make the mistake of telling them they're in the problem. It's emotional connection, not rational connection that we need."

Haven’t I been telling you that for years?  Democrats appeal to emotion.  Their campaigns and policies are based on how you feel, compared to conservatives who generally strive to appeal to facts and logic.
