clueless, and they are being spoon-fed a lot of crap.
However, I think that our reluctance to proselytize as do the fundies and repukes has bitten us in the a**. We tend to believe that truth will out in the end, and yet our counterparts are busy brainwashing the masses. They have made it a point to take over and control the school system and the books they use. Hence your (somewhat exaggerated, but point well taken) scenario above, which would be funny if it wasn't so close to home.
The "liberal media" is a lone voice crying in the wilderness in relative terms. The neo-cons have succeeded in marginalizing us and making "liberal" akin to "America-hating," "flag burning," "Godless"and every other thing. I think it's possible that we underestimated their appeal until it was too late (I mean, could you conceive of a majority in this country believing all that BS during the Clinton years?) I think we have to start playing the game on their terms; waiting for them to have enough rope to hang themselves has been ruinous to our country and excruciating to watch.
And, right after posting this I plan to start 3 or 4 liberal news networks. (I realize this is just another meaningless whine on my part.) Sigh.
