Bush Admin systematically discrediting any possible critics |
|
It started with the Liberals. The attacks on the "Michael Moore" democrats. Then mainstream democrats (Kerry and company) Then the "undelected men in black robes" AKA our Federal Judges The the Professors and educators Now their attack on the MSM
Anyone else see a pattern?

1. This is nothing new. It's an old tactic with a new face. |

7. Maybe not new - but more efficient and deliberate |
|
Seems to me that there was a plan in place. These things take time, planning, and coordination.

down to a science rather than an art. That is why a person should question everything they hear and half of what they see.
Critical thinking, intellectual honesty, and good dose of skepticism is a must in our todays world.

my only criticism is that your comment kind of qualifies as old news.

I share in your frustration. I don't see it as "old news". Just a continuing pattern...
Peace.

12. It's what they do to deflect taking responsiblity. |
|
They muddy the water and expect people to get into a linear response. The way to defeat them doing this is to completely ignore this kind of smokescreen and plow ahead with the issues at hand. It's called holding your space. Then, they just spin in recrimination and more of the same.
