Hillary can't run for office because the Clintons trashed the White House
Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 01:14 PM by blm
and I know this because the entire media TOLD me for almost an entire year that the Clintons trashed the White House.

And I believe any lie that the RW media presses into the mainstream automatically eliminates any Democrat from running for president.

Actually - I don't believe this - I never did, even when it first happened, I KNEW it was a lie. So why don't MORE Democrats reject the lies of the RW message machine and start defending each other against those lie machines?

Why do SOME Democrats accept and FURTHER the spread of the lies instead of standing with their own by rejecting the use of the lie?

There are REAL things to criticize each other on policy positions and votes, and I am not shy about pointing out serious differences, at all - but accepting and furthering the most BLATANT right wing lies should not even be considered for a split second.

And we all know the difference between blatantly spun media lies against Democrats, and actual SERIOUS differences between Democrats, so let's start showing it. The primaries are going to be one long battle, but let's not let the RW message machine control that battle.

1. Of course, few people will bother to remember that GAO found this story to be totally false

3. I remember ...
I KNEW we were in trouble when this moron won the primary, and I KNEW we were in BIG trouble when the election went his way ...

I have visual memory of being at the gym one day and hearing Fox News report on this supposed trashing of the white house ... And, I thought ... Jesus, these guys are going to be worse than I thought ... I KNEW they were going to run graft off of the government ... But, for them to come up with this bizarre story ... You have to be absolute freaks to think like they do, to even think of making something like this up, must less actually carry it out ...

4. They couldn't have done it without the media complicity. What surprises me is when
Democrats KNOW damn well that the media is lying about a fellow Democrat and instead of showing good character and supporting the latest target against the lie, they use the spin as an opportunity to join the RW and convince Republicans that they deserve their vote.
