WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO DO WHAT RACHEL JUST DID? She called a liar a liar.

that's why I acknowledged that we can argue that the Republicans are 'worse' than the Democrats, at least in terms of their apparently deliberate and divisive hate-mongering and fear-mongering.

In previous posts, I've likened the neo-conservative, controlling arm of the Republican Party to batterers. Anyone who even attempts to 'stand up' to them becomes a target of derision, just as do battered persons in intimate relationships.

Furthermore, as a species, we have a tendency to blame 'the victim' (a term I refuse to use when discussing survivors of relationship violence), thus even Democrats indulge in judgmental assessments of our members, without considering how difficult it is to stop batterers (aka bullies).

It is time to do exactly what Ms. Maddow is doing: expose every mendacious cockroach to the light of day. Help the poorly educated, easily propagandized sheeple see that they are naught but pawns to the Corporate Megalomaniacs who've usurped our media, our politics and our global economy.

AND, we must stop swallowing the Corporate Megalomaniacs' divisive red herrings. We must call to task anyone who is disingenuous, regardless of the letter behind their name.
