As I read diary after diary regarding Magical September, illegal arrests, California electoral shams, Rove's B.S. on PlameGate, and of course anything on Cheney and/or NewsCorp, my outrage grows exponentially.
What I haven't figured out yet is why our "Leaders" have yet to organize a united campaign, not just "for President" or for Democrats, but more specifically, "against" the vile, billious and un-American aspects of what it means to be a "Republican." (Or at least one of the 60% of those who still support Resident Dumbass).
If you're as angry and fed up as I am, please read on....
What I'd like to see is a slow-building combination of history lessons and contrast statements about us and them.
The VRWC did not start with Bill and Hillary. Indeed, it started in response to the littany of Left wing causes and celebs produced by the 60's. Hence the need to either kill them (JFK, RFK, MLK, John Lennon) or silence them (Lenny Bruce/John Kerry/Jane Fonda). Remember that Rumsfeld and Cheney both got their start under the odious Richard Nixon and were raised by H.R. Haldeman.
Our leaders need to call out the angry, selfish, racist right wing hate-mongers for being exactly what they are. Why in the Hell can't we get somebody with some cajones to actually call people what they really are? Why is the word "lie" omitted from EVERY news program or pundit forum in America?
Why can't Bush and Cheney be called out for Lying instead of simply "misleading" America into a war of choice? Why do pundits insist on observing the "niceties" of the 50's when Republicans long ago figured out they can act as maliciously as they wanted to provided they used the language of the state department to explain away their actions!!!
I know one of the first rules of dKos and other lefty blogs is personal responsibility. I do as much as I can afford to do (both with donations and with time donated) however, this requires someone at a VERY high level to agree to, coordinate and engage other high level players with.
Examples of how media are manipulated, how completely without backbone our WH Press Corps really are, and how the Mainstream media (including TV and Written Press) are being made irrelevant by the Fox Noise, Talk Radio and everything in Right Blogostan.
I don't hear anyone outside of Left Blogistan talking about this as either a problem or presenting a united solution to it? Has anyone of consequence mentioned this as a key problem to address outside the campaigns of our top tier of candidates?
If anyone has done anything other than bitch and moan (as I'm obviously doing) I'd love to hear about it!!! Also, examples of how Republicanism as it currently exists needs to be called out for what it has become, and not just admonished as the fault of the Bush administration, I'd love to hear that as well.
