Another alternate universe heard from. . . It seems I have "a serious credibility problem."

Responding to Saturday morning's post, "Hypocrisy and hope, credit and blame in the Gunwalker Scandal -- the long view & a Fanfare for the Common Man. A reckoning coming,"

"Had this scandal involved John Ashcroft and the Bush Administration, does anyone doubt that the story would have led the nightly half-hour "puppet theater"? Or, that it wouldn't have been covered like a blanket by all news departments..?"

You bet your a$$ I doubt that. Moreover, I KNOW the mainstream media wouldn't have said squat because for more than eight years, the Bush Administration gave them volumes of lies, thick dossiers of war crimes, rivers of blood and mountains of dead bodies to "lead with." When they should have been investigating and reporting on all of this and more, our fascist right-wing oligarchy's "mainstream media" remained compliantly "embedded," dedicated to distraction, deliberately misleading and/or totally silent.

You know, it is simultaneously sad and funny to read your charge that TV network "news" broadcasts are "puppet theatre" while realizing that you yourself have never caught on to the play. If the mainstream media was the least bit biased against the political right (as they want you to believe and you obviously and mistakenly do believe,) right-wing pundits would be jobless, no budget-busting anti-tax trickle-down free-trade Republican would ever be elected and the entire Bush Administration would have been incarcerated before the end of Bush's first term.

If you want to talk smack about the mainstream media, Barack Obama or the congressional supermajority (consisting of all Republicans, all "Tea Partiers" and all "Blue Dog" Democrats,) I really think you should open your eyes to the fact that they are ALL on the payrolls of Wall Street Plutocrats who, in case you haven't noticed, are all right-wing radicals. That said, you should also recognize that we shouldn't sweat "Gunwalker" until the entire Bush cabal and their anti-impeachment colluders have been either locked up or executed, as is appropriate.

Until you can recognize these all of these things, you'll continue to have a serious credibility problem.

Ronald Reagan once said "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so."
And I would add ignore any that they could have seen with their own beautifully designed eyes.

All attempts at reason and education have failed.
Hostilities seem imminent.

We have won the coin toss and have elected to receive.
Now we prepare and wait.

For a very long time, the progressive commie pukes have used projection as their main tool of deflection.

As the occupy "protests" continue, I have yet to see any Old Media, FoxNews included, come out wholly against them. It is New Media telling the truth - complete with relenting to the few points about "Wall Street" that are indeed valid.

On the credibility front, some seem to think that it, or a lack of it, can be fabricated, manufactured, contrived. Nah, that is not the case. It is either there as a matter of historical record, or it isn't. It is formed over time, via actions taken and avoided, and it is what it is.

That "jab" is just another attempt to protect The One, by blaming Bush, and nothing more.

99%? 1%? 53%? Hardly.

3%!!!

Its called BDS.

No, not Leor Zolman's famous 1970's implemetation of a C language compiler for Z80 and 8080 microprocessors from Brain Dead Software.

No, not Blower Drive Service although they're very popular with street rod and race car types.

No, this time we're talking about Bush Derangement Syndrome. The condition that forces the victim to seek connections, however tenuous or contrived, between former president George W. Bush and any evil, perceived or actual, that has occurred at any time in the world's history.

What rock did he crawl out from?
And, was that a threat?

That's a fair trade. If we succeed in impeaching Holder, Hillary and Hussein, you leftists will be allowed to impeach George Bush. ;^)

MALTHUS

I've read and reread LeftJab's screed a number of times now and I've come to the conclusion that for him to be this manifestly wrong he must be new here. I wonder what color the sky is in the reality he calls home.
