33. Oh the sweet irony
Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 11:13 AM by jpgray
So DUers are silly for thinking media bias is a serious problem that makes even a good Democratic message ineffective, but you have your own uniquely baseless and paranoid fantasy that the DLC waved its magic "Dean-be-gone" wand to explain how he lost? Did they use a mind control ray on every Iowa caucus-goer? The DLC simply does not have the kind of power you attribute to it--but as many have pointed out, if the bumbling and myopic DLC could destroy Dean, what chance did he have against Bush? If the vascillating, flip-flopping and pandering Kerry beat him, why should he have a chance against Bush? Remember--your argument was that the media will report faithfully on those who are relevant, unexpected and meaningful. Dean was such, and they eviscerated him.

I notice each time your assertions are defeated by real life examples, you retreat and make yet another assertion. I have plenty of time to swat them all down, but if you would start using evidence and facts rather than your own fevered imaginings of how things work, it would speed things up.
