Horrible verbal venom from PNC loyalists

Dear Editor,

As a youth I heard frequently from many adults that “politics is a dirty game.” But as I matured I realised that not all aspects of political activity and certainly not all politicians could be described as “dirty.”

Because “dirty” often means soiled or smutty or indecent.

There are always leaders or supporters of political parties however who decide when they need to display aspects of “dirty” to compete with or attack, taint or defeat opponents. This sometimes takes the form of unfair techniques such as misinformation, blackmail, outright fake news and, of course, character assassination.

Twenty-five (25) days after the March 02 elections I addressed this issue in a Friday column titled “Survivalist ridicule against Independent minds.” From my perspective I discussed how Party experts of abuse would use various media to ridicule and to make contemptuous mockery of opponents and even a– political, objective critics they don’t like.

Editor, against the above context I wish to express my own disgust at recent and current sustained abuse to political opponents as well as of independent or experienced observers and critics interested enough to share opinions and advice regarding our prolonged manufactured electoral “crisis.”

People’s Progressive Party (PPP) hopefuls are already spewing some aggressive racist-oriented remarks against opponents they feel will benefit from obvious elections thievery. Others are already displaying triumphalism all unnecessarily inciteful at this time.

But the PPP tribes-people are not near to the PNC (aka “APNU”) loyalists/survivalists when it comes to verbal venom - including the most “dirty” character assassination outbursts. One doesn’t dare to criticise them or their leaders’ excesses or indiscretions. No
