In the next 40 days the spin and framing is going to reach the edges of the political universe. We have to keep pounding back, stay strong and not give in to the spin. Libya is the first thing out of the chute. There will be much more to follow. So far Obama's team has stayed on top of the lies and answered all the garbage that the GOP has thrown. Lets keep it true and never give in to the spin!

(1,288 posts)Watched Anderson Cooper. The woman who was second-guessing why the administration didn't state that is was a terrorist attack, the criticism re not getting access to the crime scene... such BS.
If people had done this under Bush they'd have been hammered.
Then John McCain referred to the briefing of the Senate committee with really derogatory words. Can't remember them, but it was so disrespectful and undermining of the admin when they're trying to deal with a very complicated situation.
So many double standards.

THAT was something to be proud of. :::eyeroll:::
And the media largely allowed them to get away with it all.

(32,723 posts)I mean, face it. Republican attacks haven't advanced beyond the classic 60's "Commie Pinko Fag" slur.
Carlin had a great comeback for that. He said in a stereotypical gay voice, "Workers of the world unite" to illustrate how absurd the three words together actually were.
In this election we have classic WASPs with their "Protestant Work Ethic" claiming Obama is attacking the very concept of being proud because you have a job. These are classic working stiff Archie Bunker types that America thought were extinct. They hate going into a store and seeing brown skin behind the counter and still get their hair cut at a place with a barber pole in front of it. They think Liberals are to blame for the low water usage toilet which they have to flush at least three times because they're so full of shit.
