I'm sick of the conservatives playing "victim"!
I'm so sick of the conservatives/republicans playing victim to everything! For example Brian Williams tonight on the daily show was saying it wasn't his fault for the story. Oh no! It was someone from the government! He couldn't WAIT to tell the story and get his facts straight! But Dan Rather it was his fault so he gets fired! Also tonight on Joe Scarborough he had this professor from the University of Colorado who was being fired for statements he made in his classroom. He claimed they fired him because he was quoting conservative African-Americans and Joe was saying how the "leftist really hate that"! How convent this professor was from the same place as Churchhill. I may not agree with what he said but you don't see Scarborough sticking up for him!!!!! Then on Malloy he's talking about this boy who's gay was getting beaten up really badly at school everyday but they haven't done anything about it. A bunch of kids brought posters in support for him but they got rid of them because it was against the school rules to have political signs and whatnot. I'm so sick and tired of it! The republicans control EVERYTHING in our government, our media, our schools and religious rights. But they still find SOME WAY to get to be the "victim"!!!

1. Agree completely...I'm amazed to hear Rush complaining about the
control that 'liberals' have on society and government - it is just not so anymore, if it ever was. I think they'll find it was easy to take the moral high road when they were powerless but now they will have to own up to the ills of this country because they are the ones controlling it all.

4. Civil rights = Politics
Something is very wrong with this country. Advocating for equality SHOULD NOT be political in a country that prides itself on freedom.

8. They have to send out propaganda that Liberals act like brown-shirts
otherwise our accusations against them and their use of 'sociopathic tools and baiting ' will be accepted. Because it is true.

But why do you call Brian Williams a conservative? He pretty much said that his Repuke resources made the mistake. I do not think that the press knows what to do or say about the news during a war when they will get nailed for 'breaking through the propaganda'. One thing for sure, propaganda will be looking into and studied.

Neocons have given us so much to do.

9. I disagree
conservatives have no real "control". Sure, they own the govt right now, but society is becoming more LIBERAL. It is slipping away from them day by day. They are fading away, and what we see is their last desperate grasp at power. It will be painful for us, but the next generation won't have to deal with them...at least not in the numbers we see today.
