The Right-Wing Meme Generator: Their Most Dangerous and Effective Weapon!

[Moonwalk]

7. Of course creating such memes is way older than Bush 2. Hell, I'm sure we could go back....

to cavemen and find it. However, the modern meme machine that works so efficiently in getting out such lies and sustaining them started with Bush 2. That's when Fox news announced Bush the winner and all other media outlets, who had been proclaiming Gore the winner, ignored their own facts and went with Fox's flow. That's when the right knew they had the perfect weapon against anything democratic or progressive.

Hence, I stand by my point. Creating such memes may be a very ancient thing, but disseminates them quickly, efficiently, and lingeringly is not. Modern news outlets don't even fact check such memes before they report it, which they used to do prior to Fox. And that is my point, not that doing this is anything new: now any right-wing meme creator has a well-oiled machine he or she can use, working, gratis, for them and working against us. That wasn't always true.
