Real vs Fake Controversies
The Right is great at drumming up fake controversies, Obama's birth, Climategate, Acorn and they have no qualms about making them into big issues, their media AND politicians harp on them long after the are proven to be bullshit.
But then there are real controversies, Diebold voting machines, the ongoing efforts by Republicans to suppress the vote, Clarence Thomas' income. And while there are those in the media on the left who bring attention to these. Our politicians sit on their hands and recoil at the thought of pursuing these acts.
WTF.

2. 20 years ago
The Republicans went after Bill Clinton for ever bullshit lie they could make up. Travelgate!?! Really?
The Dems sat on their hands while Bush lied us into a war and stole two elections.
