I wondered, now that it looked like Dean was in the running and had an excellent shot at being the next DNC chair, what the powers-that-be that don't want to see this happen would do to DERAIL his candidacy.
Could it be that this whole "Dean paid bloggers money" (a true non-issue if ever there was one . . . kind of like the "Dean scream") is just the appearance of that about which I wondered?
Call me paranoid, but it's gotten to the point that I will never underestimate the power of corporate/mainstream media character assassination to destroy anyone who the powers-that-be in this country see as a threat to their absolute control over the political and economic processes in this country.
Hell, Gore Vidal said the same thing about anyone who challenges the political order over thirty years in an essay called "Hommage to Daniel Shays." So, why should I be surprised?
By smearing Dean, no doubt, the powers-that-be can create doubt in the minds of the DNC member/voters about whether he REALLY WOULD be the best choice for the position.
Fuck. This country is really fucked ---WE are really fucked--if this should work a second time.
