3. It was "being discussed" ...
so it was okay.

Well, that's a tactic the right has always used well. Throw something out, no matter how untrue or irrelevant--Whitewater, Janet Reno, Obama's "socialism"--and then everyone is free to discuss it. As if it were true, but still just debatable.

I see a lot of people on our side using the same tactic here, sad to say. And people lap it up like honey. And no matter how much "discussion" takes place around the false meme, facts will never serve to erase it.

It's why I'm getting sick and tired of it all.

6. We could use a bit of socialism.
I wish Obama was a socialist. The coordinated effort to move the nation to the FAR FAR RIGHT is ruining us. I don't want fascism.

8. Networks need to use Peer Pressure on Fox
For too long they've resisted criticizing that station, no matter how many lies Fox spread.

It's like with doctors. Everyone knows the plastic surgeon has a drinking problems and is mutilating his patients but nobody wants to speak out about it.

Grow a spine, MSM!

9. The Chinese general
Sun Tzu knew that the successful prosecution of war is based upon deception and that in order to successfully prosecute war, truth must be its first casualty. The corporatists who are waging war against the American people know this perfectly well. They have waged their war of deception and falsehood so well that most working Americans are yet to even realize they are at war, and if they do realize it they believe the enemy is their neighbor.

11. This is Why Obama Shifted so Right for these 2 Years
He got afraid that everyone thought he was for the left so he decided to go way right
