10. The trouble is that with right wiong extremists, there is nothing left to expose
They wear their fanaticism on their sleeves, are proud of it, and, like the Pied Piper, get the rats to follow
them into the river to drown. And so they do.

15. Exactly.
Their lies have been exposed over and over. It doesn't seem to matter.

11. "acorn"-ing the right-wing is redundant with what they are happy to say publicly anyway.
besides, the "acorn"-ing itself misses the big picture.

what happened with in the acorn video was an absolute joke. EVEN IF the unedited video captured exactly what happened without any misleading edits, the absolute worst that should have remotely come from it was that the one acorn person got disciplined, and perhaps, PERHAPS, fired. even given the ridiculous uproar over it, the only thing acorn itself should have done, or been made to do, was properly investigate the incident and ensure that training for all personnel made sure that they didn't do anything that would condone illegal activity. non-event, end of story.

why didn't it play out that way? because the video was merely a faux pretense for faux outrage for the right-wing political/media machine to destroy an institution they didn't like. they fabricated a scandal where none existed because they wanted a scandal to serve their interests.

and the washington power structure bent over because the right-wing is highly effective at smearing, maligning, and exerting influence, and the left-wing is too weak these days to defend even perfectly reasonable and good programs.



so, "acorn"-ing the right-wing won't work because the LEFT-wing doesn't have the political/media voice capable of mounting and sustaining a serious attack that would lead the washington power structure to cave.

THAT is the disease. acorn was merely a symptom.

13. The right has no shame and never accepts responsibility for anything
Drug addiction, whore mongering, conflicts of interest, war crimes, hypocrisy at its worse. You name it there are presently sitting Senators, Representatives, Governors, Judges, and not to mention their propagandists, guilty of all the above.
The so called Christian, patriotic, blow hards are blind to the crimes and sins of their electorate.
They only want to put more government control into the lives of every one they disagree with in the name of "less government".
One thing the Democrats never seem able to learn from the Republicans is too kick the opposition when they are down.

14. Good luck.
As long as Faux, Koch Industries, and limpballs are not directly receiving taxpayer dollars, no one cares.

They are capitalists and no one cares what capitalists do.
