If the M$M spent as much time focusing on the BLATANT hate speech
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 12:10 PM by msallied
delivered by right-wing religious leaders like Robertson, Parsley and the like (nevermind the fact that McCain delivered an address at Falwell's Liberty Effing University) then maybe people would be less confused on this topic and realize who the REAL enemy is. I dare them to line up the most fiery of Wright's sermons against that of two ignorant, pathetic homophobes blaming 9/11 on gays, and most people would STFU about all of this shit and start concentrating on what REALLY matters in this campaign.

So many have said it before, but I will say it again -- WHY does ANY of this Wright stuff even MATTER? Does the media focus its attentions on the religious leaders who are voting Republican, who spout their demagoguery on a daily basis? Of course not. And we all know why. Because the corporate media wants nothing more than for its corporate-shilling hypocrite pukes to stay in office. Anyone who finds themselves falling under the sway of M$M spin on this Wright issue should remember that. They aren't trying to help you or keep you informed on anything pertinent. They are perpetrating what is essentially a Goebbels Effect to keep you dumbed down. EVERYONE here, no matter which candidate you support, should be angry about that!

1. The Dumbing Down Has Worked
Two posts that I read this morning believe that Reverend Wright should keep his opinions to himself, until there's a better time.
