Given that Markos and all of us are here to provide victories for Democrats, one of our main obstacles over time has been the gigantic RWNM (Right Wing Noise Machine) that cranks incessantly like the out-of-control beast that it is. While started up in the 1960s(?) and developed over time with deliberate malice and tremendous effort, this RWNM has taken on a type of life of its own, with vast parts of it running on autopilot. Media writers, producers, advertisers, executives, pols, wonks, hacks, and preachers of the Right have been so buried in this dishonest crap for so long that many/most probably have no sense of what is Truth anymore.
If ABC is not mightily challenged by us, then the burbling, clanking, behemoth Machine will roll on and while we may make great headway with our organizing and backing of our candidates, we will be fighting as if each of us has one hand tied behind our back because we will be up against this bullshit-spewing Machine.
In my opinion, we must attack, attack, attack the purveyors of lies. It may take a while to make a difference. We may not "win" this particular fight. But inevitably, we will prevail. The Truth will always win eventually, as long as courageous people keep defending it. This RWNM will fall in disgrace and be despised by the people. When it is discredited, our political battles will be easier for us because people will see us as genuine in our beliefs.
I've had a great week here, on a rare vacation home from work and plenty of time to read, rate and comment on my beloved DKOS. Tomorrow I'll be back at my office full time so will only be able to stop by now and then. Keep up the fight! I did as much as I could here in the isolated boonies: letters, emails, signed petitions. I will watch football tonight, I will boycott any products I'm aware are advertised on my local ABC affiliate, and let those folks know why, and I'll pray and pray during the time TP911 is being broadcast. I'll pray for God to allow the truth to be revealed and for peoples' eyes to be opened.
Take heart! Take heart! We will prevail!
