talking points" and other tools the GOP uses? Why all of a sudden?

We are adults. We fight like adults. With the 'speaking truth to power', with strength, with discernment & empathy, and with responsibility and might. That is how adults fight for what is important. That is how WWII was won.

We have nothing to learn from them.

Their patterns of disinformation have gone on so long that the patterns are obvious. Why - just when people are finally seeing all that and getting angry and frustrating and the Rove machine - do some DUers insist on apeing the monsters? And their behaviour?

We do not teach our people to be adolescents and take pleasure in twisting the truth or the issues? This is not a game.

Am I alone in noticing a sudden DU threads with "tools of manipulation" in the title threads?
