Reply #94: The mob metaphor is appropriate... [View All]

[Q]

...to use in this case. But the problem remains: they don't LOOK like a mob because the media is always there to label them as 'patriotic' or 'righteous'.

- A case in point is the 'mob' that roughed up and intimidated the election workers in Florida. They were identified as staff members of Republican politicians...but the media portrayed them as 'concerned Americans' from the Florida area just standing up for their rights. But few if any of them were actually from Florida and were there to disrupt the recount. I would bet that many Americans still don't know the truth about who sent this mob and why they were there.

- I agree that we need to 'clean house'. But first we must ALL agree that the 'house' is dirty and that it needs cleaning.
