Lies, continued

The popular media sees Republicans as the problem, and hence, the target:


The Center for Media and Public Affairs, a media analysis group, kept a tally of jokes told about the presidential contenders on the "Late Show" and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" in the five weeks after McCain chose Sarah Palin to be his running mate and vaulted the little-known Alaska governor into the national spotlight.
The total: Republicans, 286. Democrats, 42.
"Generally the Republicans get targeted much more often than Democrats, but this election is driving it off the charts," said CMPA Executive Director Donald Rieck.

By relentlessly pounding home the message about the Republicans (McCain is old, Sarah Palin is stupid), they create a cultural environment that becomes a self-perpetuating loop: "Sarah Palin isn't qualified to be VP, even Saturday Night Live says so." "Did you see Saturday Night Live, they really hammered Palin." "Well, everyone knows she's dumb..."

Keep telling the truth. Look at Sarah Palin's remarkable accomplishments. Put them up beside Barack Obama's remarkable political expediency. Then ask who is a real leader.
