Bushie's linguistic buttons

When ya' got your Bush in front of you,
bear in mind that your Bushies' linguistic buttons are both visible, and powerful.

We note that those who live by the nickname, betray their inability to get beyond 'labeling behavior'. One may not argue against such behavior directly (as that sort of mind is 'insulated' by delusions of granduer), though pointing the bahavior out to observers is certainly wise. However, it is very easy to turn such behavior to your advantage. We see this in the confrontation with the bully who can be pushed into 'irrational' behavior by the reversal of the labeling behavior. Such confrontations are so cliche as to be used constantly in entertainment media. In fact, such themes are so deep within our society that even the reverse occurs...when we find the 'mouse/victim' person finally blowing their top seemingly as a result of the barrage of 'labeling behavior' from the bully.

But note, that labeling behavior works both ways...and those who live by it constantly expose their button...

so in pushing your Bushies labeling behavior buttons, one might wish to use the following sort of tactic...

"In Bushies small world view, he sees himself as a compassionate conservative. In his small, narrow view of the world, he sees himself as a 'leader'. Well, we all know the world is a lot larger than Bushies small perception, and in the real world, we all see him as a failure."

In the example above, we have repeatedly pushed the Bushies labeling behavior button. We have repetious (necessary to get their attention) references to 'small'. We then apply a label which is entirely negative, 'failure'. If one wanted to be very very cruel to their Bushie, they would note his 'face fetish' and his many 'face tells' and then would alter the linguistic button push to something that brought in both the label and an explicit facial reference. Such as

"Well, we all know the world is a lot larger/complex than Bushies small perception, and in the real world, even Bushie knows the truth. We can all see the failure written on his face."

This is a better approach for pushing the Bushies 'labeling behavior' button, than to state that a particular choice or action was wrong. While true, and certainly resonating with observers who are rational, it will not push buttons as deep as pushing the labeling button.

Soooooo if one wants to rattle their Bushie up a bit, try pushing a few of the linguistic buttons he has exposed.

1. I carry TWO-FACED graphic face up on my clipboard and I make sure
they see it. They do not like it. We must belittle and disparage him by appealing to their reptilian brains. We must make them laugh at him.

Our base loves TWO-FACED. Especially hip secular youth and African Americans. They love hearing me say Bush is a punk assed bitch. Especailly since he got punked in the debates.
