The Right's Tactic

I feel strongly that there MUST be going to be things wrong with Obama and the all-Democrat Hill, but the problem I have with the so-called right is that they have so failed to actually discuss anything meaningful.

Unfortunately, I had the same problem with the left in the early Naughties, when they started making Bush jokes. It's really not political process when the job of the "other side" is to simply cast the worst possible light on the first side.

I actually turned off the "left-wing media" for several years because, to me, jokes about Gitmo are not funny. But throughout the presidential campaign, the Right filled their airtime with ridiculous accusations (because Obama wrote a grant with Ayers, he must support the terrorist destruction of the American government? because his father is from Kenya, he must be hiding his Muslim beliefs, and those beliefs indicate his sympathies with terrorists on another (third) continent?) and bitched that the media loved Obama so much that they wouldn't cover -x- story. Ok, Fox, when you complain that -x- story is not being covered, but fail to cover it yourself, that indicates there's NO STORY TO COVER. (Without really finding a bias, there are too damned many headlines that read "[Rumor] Denied," because you know people believe [Rumor] and remember [Rumor]... "Have you stopped beating your wife?" )

The latest thing I see is that the Right will apparently take the problems that the Left has been complaining about for the last 8 years and say that they're Obama's fault. Today, I got this:



My immediate response was to think this was about Terrorism suspects or Airport security. No, it's the Right's prediction for the police state under Obama.
