do we get this to main stream media. No questions from McCain on all these deaths. How do we stop these racist, rethug pigs!!!???? I am so very tired of all these lies and hate! It's beginning to bug me, bad. Maybe it going viral will attract some high powered attention? The demo's don't need to waste a lot of time on this, but during a regular white house news conference, bring this fact up or ask newsies why no balance with this Benghazi thing? But bring all these deaths up under bushmonkey's watch.

They tried the same with Fast and Furious on Holder, and Solyndra as well. "It's not that there's guns being sold, it's the lies behind it." "It's not just the waste of $500 million, but the lies behind it."

Some Obama haters have gone on FB claiming that Obama has been the greatest lying president ever. I find that ironic considering the potential opposition was Romney, who had the audacity to contradict himself with lies within hours of stating one claim. And did this multiple times.

Painting with a very broad brush (from the end of a spectacularly long handle, since he's so high up on that mountain top), Mr. Hedges sez:

Populist movements, from labor unions to an independent press to socialist third parties, have been destroyed in the United States. A protofascist movement that coalesces around a mystical nationalism, that fuses the symbols of the country with those of Christianity, that denigrates reason and elevates mass emotions will have broad appeal. It will offer to followers a leap from the deep pit of despair and frustration to the heights of utopia. It will speak in the language of violence and demonize the vulnerable, from undocumented workers to homosexuals to people of color to liberals to the poor. And this force, financed by the most retrograde elements of corporate capitalism, could usher in a species of corporate fascism in a period of economic or environmental instability.

But even before any of that happens, from the Infotainment + Fabrication + P.R. + Koch Brothers Construction Co. fake news front (see, "Cain, Herman" and "Bachman, Michell and Marcus" from the most recent Leading Presidential Contenders list), I think you're right. They're going to need a fake-Populist "one of us" type that has some other talent besides yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off the lawn, and stop moochin' from the Federal Treasury.

I would have thought they'd go for a distinguished (but warm and personable) military type, but look how that's gone:
