And everyone piles onto it - nobody questions it.

The fact is Olbermann is not the anti-Beck. Alan Grayson is not the anti-Bachmann. The lunatics on the right are the base, and they're led by people like Beck and Bachmann who lie to them as a intentional strategy by the GOP. And the anger generated by the lies and broadcast by the RW corporate media is an essential (though manufactured) part of that strategy.

All the while the so-called "crazies" - the marginalized left - are reacting to the course of the national discussion set by the RW corporate media, by exposing the lies of the right wing, telling the truth about them, and only displaying appropriate anger when they are marginalized & ignored by the Dems - mostly because the RW corporate media ignores them.
