Just A Coincidence? Major Media Talking Point That RW Activists Are Just Like Left Wing Activists..

...Under Bush. Time Magazine, CNN, LA Times, etc. have all run various permutations of the current media narrative that the right wing under President Obama is no different than the left wing under Bush.

Except for the fact that the left wing activists were absolutely correct about the fact that Bush and company justified the Iraq war based on a lie, the presence of weapons of mass destruction, whereas the right wing activists are motivated by a whole series of incoherent beliefs such as telling the government to keep its hands off of Medicare, and accusing President Obama of being an Islamic, Fascist, Communist, who is being controlled by Israel.

Yet, as the newest Time Magazine article shows, the major media always forgets to mention the crucial fact that the liberals were 100% right about the fact that the Iraq war was based on a complete fabrication.

I guess the goal of the batshit crazy right is to make sane sounding right wing extremists look moderate by comparison.
