See why media is the overriding problem?

Edited on Sat Sep-12-09 02:40 PM by SoCalDem

1) buffoonish, racist idiot disrupts president's address by heckling him

2) tepid,. forced..insincere "non-apology" follows

3) gracious president accepts it and "moves on"

4) media trumpets the success of sympathy-funds pouring into the offender's coffers

5) buffoon becomes a media darling..an instant folk-hero

6) further reports follow, about how the issues that "upset" said buffoon, have been removed from the proposed health care plan

7) buffoon vindicated..checkmate

1. I *AM* wondering if there is *ANYTHING* in this bill that we WOULDN'T trade for A "NO" VOTE.

I mean, with whatever that thing was in the bill to 'offend' him so much - IS HE *NOW* GOING TO VOTE FOR IT??

WHY THE *FUCK* ARE WE CAVING IN FOR *NOTHING*???

2. Control the message.

Manipulate perceptions. Remove the ability to make a "free" choice. Drive the flock into whatever environment you choose.
