Bill Moyers & Michael Winship: The White House-Wall Street Revolving Door Just Keeps Spinning Along

[TheKentuckian]

17. I don't think anything is being debated. Generally, what we see is an all out assault on messenger

accusations of love of TeaPubliKlans, a few call outs of members, "The List", eyes rolling at "The List", defense of "The List", a few sermons that acknowledge Obama's inperfection/humanity while pretending anyone thought otherwise, some crap by Andrew Sullivan, David Brooks, or some other Republican is lauded, a round of attacks on FDR, random lash outs at an old institutional bigot with no shot, and about 14 posters give shitting on our rights and liberties standing ovations and argue the TeaPubliKlans would be worse so suck it up and hope for the best in silence, and of course a few rounds of McCarthyisim with a side of hippie punching and screeching like spoiled brats for purges because their numbers and weak assed arguments cannot carry the day.

It is hard to lament the movement of conversation when a certain faction is outspoken in the aim to shut down debate and swarms writers with an almost rock solid refusal to discuss the points made.
