Reply #94: I really wish this guy would get some publicicty [View All]

But, because of "liberal media", he doesn't.

Recently, especially after reading Thomas Franks terrific book What's the Matter With Kansas?, I have started becoming aware of the most underlying reasons for why we lose.

And, this article is a great example.

If the media were truly liberal, this guy would be all over the place.

All I see on the news is conservative commentators chosing fringe issues pushed by a very small group of people on the left, and then using it to paint the entire progressive/liberal mindset with a very broad brush. Some things aren't even true. (Liberals want to ban the Bible. Liberals want to do away with Christmas. Liberals want to make it illegal to eat meat. etc...)

Imagine hearing even a small fraction of fringe right-wing positions discussed in the media, and having them painted as "conservative" positions, as views espoused by the entire Republican Party.


"Conservatives want to ban any mention of Santa Claus in the public sector"
"Conservatives believe that Timothy McVeigh was a hero and a patriot."
"Conservatives want to make interracial marraige illegal."
"Conservatives believe that we deserved the 9/11 attacks, because it was God's way of punishing us for homosexuality."

For Christ's sake, didn't the right just elect a Representative that believes in eugenics???

Why aren't these fringe issues discussed, and painted as Republican positions???
