Among the primary reasons political discourse in this country has been reduced to the dissemination of lies -- very loudly -- is the ubiquitous right-wing Rethuglican media and its handmaidens in the "both sides do it" / President Grampypants McCain Rethuglican - wired press. We want to show you just three recent examples of the way the right-wing media works to amplify its false and destructive messaging.
If they can't hear you, they can't hear you: Fox "News'" Roger Ailes doesn't like it when one of his hired hands gets off-message. They love to be absolutist on the Second Amendment, but on the First? Not so much.
Go ahead and smear, the truth will never catch up: Obama Derangement Syndrome sufferer and frothing sociopath Charles "Kraphammer" Krauthammer would like you to know that the Kenyan Usurper has ordered his minions to deliver maximum sequester pain to John Q. Public, except, uh, not so much.
Don't worry about innocent people when you have a political ax to grind: Fox "News" contributor and right-wing hate radio bimbo Andrea "Assy" Tantaros thinks it's appropriate to drag Malia Obama into the Plan B contraception issue - with a bonus bank shot on the Obama girls' recent Spring break vacation. Stay classy, Assy!
And we're not even going into the miasma of lies, distortions and slander that the right is pumping out of its media orifices concerning gun control.
The inbred courtier Beltway media? Good luck with those dumbasses.
Is it surprising, then, that so many Americans who get their hate-fix from these nasty people think it's perfectly reasonable to contemplate armed rebellion against the elected government of the United States?
