The GOP Blasts "Obama's War on Women". More projecting?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) March 19th, 2012

Republicans have charged that President Obama is waging a war on women.

The GOP has a history of accusing their opposition of doing what they, in fact, are actually up to. This is called Freudian projection.

Recent instances include”
1—Slashing taxes for the wealthy and gutting regulations so that great wealth allows great cheating. That is called the Democrats declaring class warfare.
2—The GOP is pushing legislation in 31 states to disenfranchise minority, poor, young and elderly voters—demographics who generally vote Democratic. This they characterize as a reaction to Democratic voter fraud, even though there have been virtually no incidents of ineligible voting; and the bulk of the prosecutions for actual voter fraud involved Republican operatives trying to engineer elections behind the scenes.
3—The GOP supports corporatocracy. They want to destroy unions and deregulate corporations. They want corporations to be allowed to spend unlimited funds to shape legislation in favor or the corporate elite, to use public policy to the exclusive benefit a corporate profits. Has this lead Republicans to label Democrats as Nazis and socialists? Nazis were in fact supporters of the merger or the power of the state and the corporation. They jailed and gassed labol leaders. So the GOP’s war on labor puts them much more in sync with Nazi ideology than those they accuse of being Nazis.

So what’s your feeling? Is the GOP right that Obama is waging a war on women, or are they just projecting again to cover their own attacks on gender? What other examples can you cite of politicians projecting to cover their own transgressions?
