61. i hear what you're saying but we're at a point where we're losing huge time discussing and analyzing

myths and non-existant facts. with rw radio especially they've created alternate realities and histories (along with all the straw men and red herrings) that force their way into the national dialogue and all it does is waste time and distract.

if that alternate reality enters an historical discussion of the pros and cons of reagan then it's a waste of time, IMO, unless the purpose is to identify and determine what is bullshit. that may be possible in a classroom even if some are unconvinced but on a national scale it's impossible as long as 1200 radio stations get away with lying all day. we spend huge amt of time on left leaning blogs talking about crap that only exists because the left gives 1200 stink tank coordinated radio stations a free speech free ride (to deny global warming, rewrite history, etc). lately it's benghazi, irs, and whatever other molehill they want to turn into a mountain this or the next week.

for me it's also a waste of time for a debate in which religious beliefs are given equal time with science unless it's billed as such. science and religion should have those debates, but not when the religious POV is legitimized as merely another way to analyze the data (and getting brushed off by david gregory for instance on national tv with "the debate continues&quot - or becomes a front for oil industry denialism expressed in a major political party platform. we have problems and we've lost 25 years dealing with many of them because the right has the ability to distort our national dialogue at will. and we let them.
