I've made a connection. Rove manufacture reality/teabagger/militia movements

"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.' "

Said by most, to be Rove. REgardless, the rove method, of manufacturing reality out of whole cloth, pumped by Fox, became entrenched. Every Bush move, was accompanied by a fear campaign. But mostly, the lie.

When failure loomed, for McCain, a whole cloth reality was manufactured. We're not Republicans, said all the republicans at their convention. Reform, was their mantle.

Obama moves forward, they heap all Bushes failure, right on Obama's broad shoulders. And when those would remind of Bushes responsibility, they look bemused. And Hannity blares it's all Obama's fault.

This is all the Republicans have left. The big lie. So, Obama addressing Foxes unamerican stance, gently, is called for. Ignoring them generally, without comment, also called for.

Most of all, people must start to go to PRISON. Nothing brings home the message that culpability cannot be shifted, or schmoozed, like war criminals, and look the other way regulation ordered bilking of the public by officials, and shuffling contracts to family, like going to prison. Prison, makes tidy and final, justice, and proper attribution.

I think we should VAN JONES real bad guys of our own. When they find war crime evidence, we yawn, and say so, we knew that. If we raised holy hell, we could VAN JONES their asses into indictments.
