Reply #51: Just a bit off topic here...but the 'goose hunt' and earth tones'... [View All]

[Q]

...were brought up by the corporate media in a negative light in order to harm the candidates. Gore's great crime was to wear a different color suit at various events. That he happened to like 'earth tone' suits was used by the RWing Talking Head Pundits to ridicule him during a campaign in which they felt very threatened. The point is not that Gore wore earth tone suits...but that the other side was petty enough to make it an issue. That you're arguing it here is just as petty. You make it sound as if it were a campaign tactic instead of what the corporate press later called their 'hatred for Gore'.

But all of this nicely points out that the GOP has utterly lost their way. They can't run on their far right, fascist issues...so they distract the opposition and the American people with 'shark attack' stories that mean absolutely nothing. But you'll have noticed that there was no ridicule from the corporate media when Cheney went hunting with his buddy on the SC or Bush* awkwardly clears brush on his 'ranch'.

I'm not sure how you got so far off the thread topic. The issue is NOT about how candidates campaign or their strategies. It's about weeding corrupt or enabling Democrats out of the party so that we can get back to the business of governing of, by and for the people.
