The right wing smear machine has effectively diverted everyone

[liberal N proud]

The oil spill is no longer important to us.
The republican roadblocks in congress are no longer important to us.
Unemployment of the masses is no longer important to us.

The unemployment of one person is the only thing we seem to be able to focus on this week. And we are letting the right keep that going. They have effectively diverted all media attention to something that otherwise if ever mentioned would have been dealt with quietly. Maybe not as you all would have liked but not a full blown media frenzy.

But what is not being talked about is the fact that this whole thing started with a self proclaimed journalist lied so effectively to deceive the simple minded press. Where is the outrage over one morons ability to drive the media into this frenzy which in turn put pressure on officials.


Never mind the oil spill or the rest of the country that is out of work, just keep screaming about this and the next thing you know the right will be really happy because they will have pinned the Democrats as racist. How the fuck did that happen we will all ask.

Keep falling for this right wing diversion tactics. It works well!

Never look at the what they are doing, just follow their lead!


I am putting on my flames proof suit now so flame away!!!!!

1. I seriously doubt that the right wing considers exposing

their race baiting tactics as a successful diversion. This one blew up in their faces. Also, there are plenty of other news stories going on, shit happens.

2. the oil gusher will come back to the forefront

until it is successfully, permanently shut down and no more oil-soaked, dying birds and dolphins wash ashore.

It has just been given a few days reprieve to the storms (meteorological as well as political).

3. What they've diverted is the corrupt M$M

and the rancid punditocracy.

6. That's right. To the mechanism that keeps people stupid

while their pockets are picked and their rights are vaporized.
