Rove leaked false documents to the 60 minutes reporter. Suddenly, the issue is about the fake document, and not the fact that bush went AWOL. Bush skated in the republican dominated press, and the reporter got fired.
The republiturd attack on Pelosi is the same logical structure. Suddenly, it is not about bush and torture, it is about Pelosi and her thoughts about the CIA
To the public: False AWOL document = false AWOL claim. Reporter fired. To the public: False CIA information about torture given to Pelosie = False torture information today. Speaker fired. In both cases the underlying claim against bush is true.
Dont forget the context of political climate either. Wounded Vets were called unpatriotic in the republican press for questioning the Bushtapo, and there was a get behind our policy or get in front of our guns mantra propagated by the bushtapo.
It is important to speak clearly, and dont let these fuckers use the same trick again.
I smell Rove, and he don't smell nice.
