Notice Wingnuts' Language Manipulation

I glanced at certain wingnut's (H*'s) front page and saw this as one of their headlines. How long did they take manipulating the wording? My comments are in parentheses.

"(Republican) House Speaker (remember 'we' are in control) Dennis Hastert is getting backup (team players with no concern about the truth) from President (not ours) Bush and other Republican (a hijacked party) luminaries (we think we're so important), while one (only one?!?!?) of the party's Senate candidates calls (expects) for him to resign over the (not 'the' but Republicans') congressional page cybersex (not molestation!?!) scandal."

You know when I write pretty much all I think about is grammar and spelling, not about how avoid exposing what is true. When I see a party that screwed up America that's all I need to say. The way they spin language only suggests that they care less about moral and integrity than they do about their corporate paychecks. It these hacks had any integrity they would just abandon their right wing affiliation and show some integrity by joining a party that actually cares about the public. Maybe they would even gain some public respect and trust in the process.
