George McGovern was a white male centrist war hero who Republicans smeared as a communist. Jimmy Carter was a white male centrist military hero who Republicans smeared as weak. John Kerry was a white male centrist war hero who Republicans smeared as a coward.
So the US got Nixon, Reagan & W Bush. How'd that work out for the country?

As #rightwing #media scramble for an #effective #attack on the #Vicepresident, a #reporter who has closely examined Harris's #career explains why her #politicalidentity is hard to pin down.

I'm so old I remember Republicans pushing out a completely made-up story about pres Clinton holding up air traffic at LAX so he could get a $500 haircut and the media fell for it and much of the public still believes it was true.
That's how smears work.
Biden & "bribes."
In 2016 Kerry's strength was he was war hero where Bush had shirked duty. So Republican propaganda machine "Swiftboated" him, claimed cowardice, etc.
2024 Trump is obviously corrupt. So Republican propaganda machine works to convince public it's Biden who's ocrrupt.
Also, "Her emails."

#ReformTheMedia: Similar to the old “#RedScare” and #McCarthyperiods, when scores of organizations and leaders like W.E.B Du Bois, Eugene Debs, Emma Goldman, Paul Robeson and Martin Luther King Jr and others were attacked with #factless accusations, today, prominent organizations and individuals, including CODEPINK, The People's Forum, and Tricontinental Institute have been targeted, with #smears and #accusations propagated by outlets like The New York Times.

The #Republican-led #House #HomelandSecurity Cmte also has become involved, asking Stanford & the Un of Washington for additional recs.
The deluge of bad info about #disinformation #researchers’ work also has led to a torrent of digital #harassment, #threats & #smears.
Starbird has long been a target of online harassment, but the campaigns have grown brutal.

#JonathanCook | #Guardian cartoon row: How antisemitism #smears are intended to throttle the left
"No one ... is calling the Guardian 'institutionally antisemitic' ... Nor will its senior editors ... be forced out of their jobs, as #Corbyn was from his. Ofcom will not investigate ... and issue a denunciatory report, as the Equalities and Human Rights Commission did into Labour."

#Trans and #nonbinary lawmakers are speaking out against #retaliation and #smears from #Republican colleagues in #GOP-controlled #StateLegislatures, citing issues related to their #identity.
In these state legislatures, #Democrats face punishment or backlash for their opposition to legislation targeting their community, for simply speaking out
