The Left Has Found It's Secret Weapon

The Left has discovered its secret weapon – the media.  

Highlight any wrong, real or imagined, that your opponent does.  Cry out from the mountain tops that your opposition screwed up/is wrong/is stupid.

Conveniently ignore anything your opponent does that’s good, correct, neutral, or anything other than something bad.

Then, rely on Hitler’s media principle – repeat a lie long enough and people will believe it, the bigger the lie the better.

The Right has no counter to this secret weapon, and the Center isn’t a palpable entity.

So we’ll continue to be fed the lies from the Left, and more people will believe those lies to be the truth.

This is why Bush’s approval rating is low:

Iraq – Big Lie: it’s a failure.  Reality: converting a totalitarian dictatorship to a democracy in 2.5 years, building infrastructure, schools is nothing short of incredible.

Reasons for being in Iraq – Big Lie: US Imperialism/Big Oil/Bush Hubris.  Reality: Strong evidence of WMD’s in Iraq; Clear support for terrorist organizations; Iraqi Violation of the Cease Fire from Gulf War I.

Economy – Big Lie: Tax cuts for the rich, the economy sucks.  Reality: The rich got no tax cut at all, and the US economy has never been larger and stronger, even under Clinton.

Hurricane Katrina – Big Lie: Federal Government is responsible for shortcomings.  Reality: Federal Government has never been in the role of evacuating people in natural disasters, and at best, historically only provides funds to help with cleanup.
