17. GOOP Goon Squad Talking Points...Watch Out For Them
Doesn't it seem like there's a lot of "military families" coming out the last couple weeks expressing "outrage" with Cindy or support for this regime's immoral invasion, yet we only see a handful...most with a Repugnican talk show minder nearby.

Lately I've heard a lot of "I've got two sons or five cousins or 25 illigitimate children in Iraq" calls...today on C-SPAN was a perfect example. All these calls play astroturf...using almost all the same points:

- Sheehan's a crazy woman.
- She's "aiding and abeting" the enemy (like Osama's watching everything??)
- She's controlled by "other elements" (Michael Moore, George Soros, Hillary Clinton...put your favorite hate target here)
- If you don't toe this regime's line, you're a traitor
- She's naive...none of us a are smart enough to understand what's going on.

Listen and see how often you hear these points come up. It's how the slime/spin machine works. The corporate media knows it...and plays off these points for its own financial gains and purposes...and this regime knows it can get a lie out and by the time it's proven to be a lie it's been spread so wide it'll never be properly debunked.
