deliberately as I think they're seen by democrats as non-partisan. but inside the conservative bubble, they are seen as rabid bolsheviks who lie and distort.

what an independent flibberdigibbet thinks, who knows. i doubt they'll ever see it.

. . . my money says that this little event was a tipping point. It's incredible, to me, just how many folks have come up and wanted to talk about Romney's remarks. The fascinating thing is that the context and impetus of their view is right where Democrats have worked over the past hours to cement it; virtually ignoring the reverse spin by the Romney camp, and, accepting as gospel, the most devastating narrative.

From what I've seen, most folks outside of our net-informed bubble don't really have enough sources to judge the accuracy of their individual media choice. Those folks watching FOX, for instance, usually assume they're all about the facts.

I'll say this though, our local reports have been very rough on Romney. I think that's where most folks are informed. Nice to hear this spelled out on radio news, yesterday, as well.

Well done! Using the words of people like David Gurgen, a republican, is VERY effective, imo.

I personally like him. I know some people don't.

I thought it was very telling when he opened up about his own family being on food stamps at a time when his father was ill. John looks pretty angry to me at that point in the video.
