15. It's Called Avoiding The Filter...

CU means the airwaves will be filled with non-stop lies about the President and amplified by faux noise and hate radio. But that is a small but very insular parallel universe. What gets said inside that bubble echoes far and wide...into everyone's crazy uncle and then onto the corporate media. The game here is to create an alternative where a different narrative can be stated and the lies refuted. Yes, I think its a brilliant move that will get a lot of awareness and one the Obama campaign needs to do to be able to rally and organize and try to conteract the Kochs, Roves and others throwing all their money around.

Cheers...
