How democrats getting mad are spun

[rniel]

After watching the Max Cleland thing. Just realized every time the democrats are the offensive about the horrible things done wrong in this country. Seems like the first thing spun in the press is adjectives like: wild eyed, crazy, loony, whining, complaining, out of touch.

When a republican is on the offensive it's all about decisive leadership, stregnth, leadership, character, integrity, etc.

When democrats get mad it's a sign of weakness, when republicans get mad it's a sign of stregnth.

When the reality of the situation is the complete opposite. For example can you imagine anyone in the world more (wild eyed, crazy, loony, whining, complaining, out of touch with reality) than people like an Ann Coulter or Rush Limbaugh.

Someone please help me the propaganda is going to make my head explode. I'm so sick of it.

1. Remember Harry Truman

"I don't 'give 'em hell.' I tell them the truth, and they think it's hell."

2. Oh, you mean like the Dean Scream?

Ruin the man's career over nothing, but "go cheney yourself" is decisive progressive leadership. Clearly, the media needs to be regulated with the Fairness Doctrine.

3. Please remember that corporate mass media

answer to same master as Bush--both bow down before Mammon.

Take heart--depending on when you date the start of our involvement in Vietnam, it took many years for a politically significant anti-war movement to emerge. By contrast, the NYT called the current global anti-war movement "the world's second super power." This anti-war movement persists globally and locally.

For example, I attend a weekly peace vigil at our local Federal Building in Westwood, CA. That peace vigil has been going on for almost 2 and a 1/2 years now (altho I've only been attending for the past two months). It occurs at a very busy intersection in Los Angeles and, judging from honks of support now, most people have seen through the media bullshit.
