Accuse Them of Being "un-American" Forum for Tactics
(Note: This tactic is still in "outline" phase. More to come on this subject.)

Technique: Accuse them of being “un-American”. Claim that the opposition's dissent from your opinion is "Unpatriotic" Whatever they do and whatever they say, tag it "un-American". E.g. "They're censoring us. That's un-American", "First-Ammendment Zones? Why, They're un-American", "They want to start a War unprovoked. They're un-American", "They don't want us to have guns? They must be un-American.", "They want to tax us hard workin' folk to pay for their socialistic programs? Socialism?…Why…. That's un-American!", "They're taking away our civil liberties. That's un-American." See how it works?

  • Un-American Keywords include: Communist, Marxist, Big Brother, Nazi, Fascist, dictator, etc. Be sure to lather these tags onto the other side.
  • In General, you can apply the "un-American" Tag to issues or actions, but don’t be afraid to discredit individuals or organizations specifically.
