Repubs are trying to define Obama before he defines himself... |
|
Everybody knows it. The media knows it. Democrats know it. Republicans know it. So why don't they stop pretending. They have played this game so many times, we know all their moves.
As usual, the Republicans depend on the media to carry their water for them. We just have to let them know that we know the rules of this game and we will call them on it. Whatever the Republicans put out, the corporate media will repeat as gospel. We know that.
The voters are much more sophisticated and learned than in previous elections, in my opinion. So this old game of checkers by the Republicans and the media will not work in this new chess game. And they wonder why they have less readers and less viewers? There's a new kid in town...

1. I think it is only the logical conclusion |
|
the MSM, by their own actions, have proven themselves unreliable, and so people are looking elsewhere for their news. And they are starting to assume if something is on the MSM, especially Faux, then it is more likely to be false rather than true.

2. Character assassination is a talent the Repigs are actually good at... |
|
The MSMorans suck it up like pigs at the trough. The sooner they do the story, the sooner they get to leave the TV studio and drive that new Bentley.

American's dying breed. I'd be happy when they are all gone.

7. As usual, an excellent observation. I listen to right wing radio to keep up |
|
with the battle plan of the low life's and for the last 2 weeks they have been doing personal attacks on Obama for the whole show.
There are there typical asides re: illegals and terrorism but 99% of the shows are fully dedicated to smearing Obama up one-side and down the other.
That is one thing they have over our side - they are RELENTLESS and their constant harping and the viciousness of their attacks can wear people down.
On "Billy" Cunningham's show the other night one jamoke even said that Obama was sworn into the Senate while holding the Koran and I'm pretty sure old "Billy" knew that was incorrect but he never said a peep and just let that lie go out there on the airwaves.
