12. All three are lies. The 2nd two have been around long enough to become "Big Lies"
We have heard them repeated so often by so many sources that we have come to accept them as inevitably true. Why would so many people say something like that which was false?

This is how Germany learned to accept the lie that Jews started all wars. It sounded pretty stupid at first---like Obama is a Black Muslim. But give the MSM time. Pretty soon, some people will say "That sounds like an opinion." And "So many people are talking about it. There must be fire where there is so much smoke."

Edwards is NOT a phony and Hillary is NOT a bitch . I am sorry if this removes an advantage that the MSM seems to have conferred to other presidential candidates (not Edwards or Hillary). But I warned the others that they would not remain untouched. The MSM simply had not gotten around to them.

Maybe if Obama and Hillary had come forward and spoken up in Edwards defense when the MSM was telling the lie "Edwards in a phony" and later when they were telling the lie about the "Two Man Race", then "Hillary is a bitch" would have been harder to sell. Maybe if the three candidates had protested "Hillary is a bitch", Obama would not find the MSM so full of confidence now that it launches its latest attack. Unfortunately, we have seen each camp stand back and enjoy the temporary advantage they have been given. Hillary and Obama never challenged their front runner status, even when it was assigned at a time when Edwards lead in Iowa. It was good for their campaigns, so they did not ask themselves the difficult moral question about why the MSM objected to Edwards populist candidacy. When the MSM officially unveiled Hillary is a Bitch in November (it was actually working on it all summer)

Obama probably cheered his own good fortune. Free publicity for him.

Well, like those who did not speak up for earlier the victims of fascist oppression, Obama is now in the cross hairs of the corporate media with mo one beside him. Hillary did not put him there. Edwards did not put him there. The corporate media put him there. It is not a fun place to be.
