For the most part the RW propaganda machine HAS done a good job at smearing the Left. The sad thing is, is what it says about the intelligence of our country to be so easily duped by those smears. If people knew what Liberalism was about or it's policies I'm sure a big majority of people would say "Yeah, I actually do believe in that". All they hear are the RW smears because there is no liberal media, it's almost completely owned by Murdoch and 4 other people.
