operation mockingbird in full swing
None of the "reports" are directly quoting Dem's re Alito Filibuster. They are however trying to cut and paste quotes and using unnamed staffers.

What the hell is Buzzflash doing saying things like...

"if the senator doesn't get back to us we will assume the rumors are true and report them" (paraphrase)

wtf is that?

Mr. Obama if you don't call me and tell me you have stopped beating your wife I will report the rumors I have heard that you haven't!!!

The MSM has a vested interest in foiling this effort because they have pimped the "done deal" meme for weeks now. If the Dem's pull off this filibuster some people might ask why they hadn't seen this coming and reported on the glaring concerns the Democrats and sentient Americans have had.

Fight Fight Fight.

5. To filibuster or not - that is a Sophie's choice. Rove loves to give those
Edited on Fri Jan-27-06 03:06 AM by applegrove
to opponents. You loose either way. That is what GOP does to diminish their opposition. To make their opposition smaller in the eyes of themselves and all those around them.

To Sophie (in the novel by William Styron or the movie) she gets off the train with two kids at a concentration camp. And the nazi sadistic guard tells her only one of her kids can live with her in the camp (whatever that means) and the other has to die. And he tells her she has to choose.

She tries not to choose. When he starts to take both kids, she chooses her youngest to be sent away. And of course the older child went with her and died in the camp. She survived. Only to live a diminished life for the choice she was forced to make. And that choice was given to her with the intent and purpose of making her pain more.. and of destroying her whole soul. She was beyond a victim of manipulation at that point. She was complicit in the murder of one of her children.


How is it working? In this case?
