Villification
From XFamily - Children of God
Revision as of 18:44, 28 May 2005 by Craven de Kere (talk | contribs) (If said "rational person" if familiar with the full definition of "demonize" it is readily apparent that demonization can be "literal", invoking evil instead of mere negative characterization)
The Family International has traditionally gone to great lengths to villify critics of any ilk, sometimes going as far as to literally demonize, curse and pray against them. Vociferation and action they find threatening inevitably results in systemic villification crafted primarily for their membership.
On occasion an attempt to discredit a critic is aimed at an external audience.
