   If someone took a poll of Muslims, they’d think Obama is a lying, butchering, dyed-in-the-wool, hypocritical American politician.
   And they’d be right.
   What does it matter if Fox News listeners think that?

   Frank Luntz is amazed. That plan is working even better than they predicted.

   Clear Channel website shows only 23 stations in Iowa! 10 in Minnesota, 11 in Missouri, 7 in Illinois, 8 in Nebraska…

   Listed in Iowa is WHO radio which employed Ronald Reagan for four or five years in the 1930′s.

   The democrats should boycott the Iowa Caucases. Don`t think for one minute the democrats of Iowans are any smarter than these corn fed clowns.The farce known as thew Iowa Caucas draws a rip roaring 15% of registered voters. Watching decent candiates have to plant wet and juicy kisses on the rumps of those morons makes me sick.Quit campaigning ion Iowa altogether and while you are at it add those jerks in New Hampshire.

   Obama is not an openly religious person. I don’t know or care what he believes in or doesn’t believe in, other than his policy positions and actions. What I don’t care for is for him to “cave” to pressures to prove that he is “Christian”. Leave religion outside the WH doors. As for those Fox phonies…screw them.

   Of course these rightwing dittoheads believe that Obama is a Muslim. Why is Luntz *surprised* about that? It’s what they’re spoonfed 24/7/365 by the corporate-owned rightwing media, and David Koch’s various rightwing thinktanks. Wasn’t that the *goal* after all?? Booga booga scary scary moozlinz… Sharia law is coming after you… booga booga etc lather rinse repeat…

   took me all day with this story in the back of my mind to come up with this but,

   maybe they were paid for the privilege of maybe being on FOX, for the price of a rented sound stage, “…make it a gym, oh – you got volunteers ?– they say they’ll say whatever we want, just to be on LIVE?” well, for the money that Hannity makes, this couldn’t be easier and he doesn’t have to do squat. Just think if this kinda presentation catches on, manufactured like reality tv … they could do it for the next year and a half, convincing the audience their numbers out there are huger wherever they go — heck, call it unprecedented…

   Meanwhile at the drawing board,
   Can we get more content thru Rupert’s Daily News-on-a-pad? The blogs and the left may be able to compete for now but what will it take to close the market, so we can set up new ones like the eternal Don Imus and Pat Robertson sites for Western Christian Goodness and Ammo Inc? Isn’t that an APCO subsidiary?
   long live Edward Bernays, right?

   Let me see, what has the most deleterious effect on my life?

   A) The people who believe Obama is a Muslim, or socialist, or communist, or fill-in the blank, or all-the-above?

   B) Obama, a duplicitous corporatist neocon, who despite promises to reverse Bush has used his administration to institutionalize and expand on Bush.

   Answer Below
   ============

   A? Nah, they may be good for a moment’s worth of head-shaking amusement, but they can’t come close to wreaking the damage caused by Obama and the Dem pol majority that supports him. While these people are cultivated as a profit center by Fox News, even the Repub establishment, which doesn’t hesitate to use them for its own purposes, does everything it can to avoid being in the same room with them.

    We have a winner. It is way past time that the “professional left” started showing this crap, instead of pointing out how evil the opposition party is at every turn. Hey people, why not focus on the people that are REALLY originating legislation? Would that be too much?
