Rhetorical ABC’s

Definition By Zoltar Speaks!

Rhetorical ABC’s are the rhetorical tactics of Attack, Bastardize and Condemn.

Attack: Attack the messenger and ignoring the message.
 
Bastardize: Misrepresent or corrupt meanings of words or statements and attack that instead. 

Condemn: Demonize the opposition; evil must be destroyed.

Political rhetoric in the United States has entered a new phase that uses Rhetorical ABC’s, it’s so prevalent that it’s become a political art form.

A Character Is A Diamond That Scratches Every Stone! I'm just another person that's been around the block a few times offering their opinion about the observed world around us. I don't write every day so don't expect daily instant gratification, I write when I see or hear about something that is morphing society and the urge strikes me.
