It&#x27;s a loaded term to insinuate that the cause or POV is using less-than-transparent mechanisms to garner a desired reaction. I&#x27;ve got no problem with political discourse, or even espousing controversial ideological proposals. That&#x27;s all natural and healthy.<p>What I dislike is using tactics to frame one side of a narrative as impervious to criticism, which in this case, seems to be the desired outcome from the entity providing $$$.
