If not, they're one tiny step from there.

I'm becoming convinced that the Republican effort to whip up mob violence and disseminate the most vitriolic of propaganda will not stop until President Obama has been assassinated. Perhaps they will stop if there is only an attempt on the President's life, but I have my doubts. Their willful disregard for the welfare of the country as a whole and the President in particular is dangerous to a degree that I believe the media has not yet picked up upon, with possibly tragic results.

After finding MSNBC has been muzzled by GE into leaving Fox News host Bill O'Reilly alone to spout lies to the American people without consequence, I have come to the conclusion that it is time for liberals to boycott the station. Not its advertisers, (although feel free if you wish) but the whole station. We can't trust any of them anymore because we don't know what they wanted to say but weren't allowed to say. That makes them worthless as a news organization. Let them know. After all, I'm sure they wont mind losing liberals as a viewing block considering their evening lineup. Fighting back is the only way we have to shape the world in a way that allows truth and reason to replace bluster and propaganda.

Today's New York Times has a landmark article telling in great detail how military analysts were enlisted as stooges, propagandists, and "message force multiplers" to give the Pentagon and White House lies about Iraq to the American people as uninfluenced objective information. The story can be read in its entirety here:

http://www.nytimes.com/...

At least 75 former military officers were wined and dined and offered unprecendented access to briefings from Rumsfeld and his top deputies, along with either offering or witholding defense contracts to these same analysts; who happened to have huge financial conflicts of interests since they were defense industry lobbbyists, or sat on boards or were officers of defense contractors, all of which went unsaid to the American people.

First, read this from the Nation, on rural strategies. It's important, and I wish I'd written it myself.

I live on a small family farm in Illinois. It's been in our family since the 19th century, so I have some very real ties that bind me and mine to this land. I don't want to leave and go back to the city, where I spent much of my adult life. It's a far better place to raise my son, for one thing.

But the farm barely pays for itself. In a bad year the farm doesn't even pay for it's own property taxes. In a good year there is enough money left over to provide one person less than a minimum wage income. I take care of my son and my elderly mother on that land. So I write, and I do other things, and we get by. I make about 70% less per year income than I did when I was a corporate suit in the city. And that big farm subsidy bill? Well, the most this farm has ever gotten in a year from the government is $300. Whoo-hoo, we can really party now.

I'm hardly alone. The other farms around us have either sold off to agribusiness, turned their family farms into noxious factory hog farms, or work one or two other jobs to get by. There are more people by far (including my father and a dozen or so other ancestors) in the local cemetery than there are in the town. Oh, and one more thing: my neighbors are heavily Republican.

This is a test message, but I will see if this diary can be used as a place to put essays less conducive to the quick pace of a comment thread.
