Reply #14: The media portrayed Cindy and the rest of us as radicals and anti-American [View All]

They acted as if we were too stupid to understand what was going on and were just doing it to be doing it. They didn't understand that much of the left has been monitoring and questioning this administration from the beginning. We remembered how they portrayed the Clinton (non-)scandals and how they let Bush slide in their quest to legitimize him. After the media propped him after 9/11 and Bush et al. draped themselves in the American flag those of us on the left were further marginalized.

Funny how they refer to those of us who think as radicals while they let those radical RW who act without thinking (Bush, Falwell, etc.) as pillars of our society.

I do hope she reads the book and understands that thoughtless rhetoric (in all the information media) is just that and it is spewed by those without a clue and without the willingness to stand up for their own convictions.
