18. Because ignorance is NOT bliss?

So ... it is better that we have no idea what the opposition is saying, arguing, charging, plotting?

My goodness, I listen to a little to Bill Bennet, check-out Drudge, take a gander at WorldNetDaily, sometimes catch Michael Medved --- I know what the Repuglican propaganda machine is saying.

It is rational and realistic to pay attention to your foe so that you can argue and persuade against them effectively.
Maybe if Pres. Obama had been directly exposed to some of the viciousness of the Obama-bashing, he would have understood what to expect at the first debate (instead of just getting it all from handlers and briefing books).

I appreciate DUers that take the time to post what a guy like Scarborough is saying.
