    Tactic: Shift the Burden Of Proof To Your Opponent Tom Ball 05/03/2005 Technique: Make an assertion, promote your opinion, or provide your interpretation. Before your opponent can question your motive, strength of argument, or basis for your assertions, call for them to prove you wrong. Place the burden of proof for your assumptions on your opponent. Don’t let up until they concede that they can’t prove you wrong. At that point, proclaim victory. That’s what Bush does.

    A lot of Washington bigwigs need glasses! They don’t even see what’s going on. Hysterical laughter erupted at the Saturday night media roast when Laura Bush celebrated the media get together by cracking jokes about George going to bed at 9.
    Laura Bush explained in effect that was why she and Lynne Cheney had to watch Desperate Housewives between trips to Chippendale, where men (…)

    Dear Chairman Dean,
    Speaking before an ACLU crowd last week in Minnesota, the home state of Paul Wellstone, the only senator to vote against the war, you were quoted as saying, "Now that we’re there [in Iraq], we’re there and we can’t get out.... I hope the President is incredibly successful with his policy now." Did these words really come from the same man who claimed to represent the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, and who had recently campaigned on the antiwar theme? What’s (…)

    3 May 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    The soap opera hearings over the president’s nomination of John Bolton as U.N. ambassador have had an unintended effect, bolstering what half a dozen investigations of pre-9/11 intelligence failures couldn’t prove: an atmosphere in the White House that pushed spies to bend their conclusions to political ends.
    It’s true that Bolton’s may be the only publicly detailed example of these pressure tactics. Also, his attempts to punish or fire intelligence analysts who balked at his assertions (…)
