      Need we say anything more about how bad the media is? Even this piece focuses on the success of the Right wing lies--rather than focusing on the fact that they are lies.

      Let me repeat: this admission angers me more than anything else. The media are a bunch of clowns, the type of fools that cheer on a fight. There is no way we can have a serious discourse when the media plays by these rules. The right wing only has to pick a fight every single time, and the other side loses. When will the media see they should not be rewarding that type of behaviour?

          Nothing. The media angers me because they thwart democracy.

      It's all well and good to say you need to be prepared but, honestly, no one could possibly be prepared for and handily deal with the sheer amount of garbage that has been thrown at this man.
      It is not just opposition.
      It is dangerous and vicious. It is so vitriolic and hateful that it is downright overwhelming in its intensity.
      It's off the charts.

        Totally agree. And the bottom keeps falling out. And MSM keeps reporting the right's insanity as if it's "seemingly" valid.

          Instead of reporting that there are NO DEATH PANELS. They report: Sarah Palin says, there are death panels. The Right wants the death panels removed. Townhallers are upset at death panels. Obama says there are no death panels.

          It seems as if they don't have their own independent research department which can come up with anything on their own.
