Reply #33: Yes. I agree 100% down the line.

I absolutely had no guess, no idea, even ten years ago, just how severe our M$GOPM (love that anacronym) imbalance has become.

How it could be done so subtly, boiling the frog by slightly raising the temperature each time.

People don't seem to realize that a portion of the reasons behind the behavior of the Nancy Capitulosis of the world is because of their utter inability to deal with not only the Bush Lie Machine but the Toady M$GOPM Media that trails behind them licking the slime trail and following along.

They didn't see it coming and they have no idea how to deal with it now, even Obama. They just bend and twist inside an ever tightening frame of Bushie and M$GOPM straightjacket, trying to avoid the M$GOPM taser. They get it no matter what they do.

What we are seeing is not remarkable in any way, though it stil astonishes in it's "but the Emperor has no clothes audacity". We have seen it literally at least a hundred times before, probably more than that.

Gleichschaltung, plain and simple. If you don't know the word, Google it.

I am just in awe at the evil genius and long-term planning it took to create, when I look at it. It WORKS. And no one is the wiser, almost no one. Amazing.

The Science of Propaganda, of Lying, or creating Groupthink through the delivery system of Modern Media Saturation is so far advanced from anything Hitler or the Soviets had.

What it comes down to is the M$GOPM, almost every corner of the Cable TV part of it, anyone watching it day after day is getting pretty much a 24/7 anti-Democratic Party commerical. Not as out-front as some parts, like FOX, but as relentless nonetheless.

I watched it for a couple years early on, to see if I could confirm for myself what I was hjearing on the Web. In a very short time, almost all of it was confirmed. I had, for years by then, been watching and not noticing the "warming water under the frog" for years.

Now, as I blinked my eyes, the water was bubbling steadily, so to speak.

And for all our efforts, for all the letters and calls and comments, eight years later and it's as bad or WORSE.

Tipping point.
