    ...is now The Fifth Column.

    This is a bit much, even for Barry.

    All political parties use these tactics. In all 'question' programs the questions are not picked at random. They are picked/formed to suit the answers.
    You will have to accept these facts Kev, It is now the Democrats turn to use these tactics.

    Were you equally outraged when Fox created and promoted the absurd "Tea Party" protests?

    Yeah, thought not.

    Did the Tea Parties germinate in the White House, take place under White House auspices, or bear the President's imprimatur?

    No, thought not.

    Actually, no.

    Obama has less to do with it than you assume.

    I can't believe you don't have any problem whatsoever with this comfy partnership between government and the media.

    After all, you are a child of the sixties, and indoctrinated to be suspicious and paranoid about such things.

    Have you taken leave of your senses.

    So let's see...the Obama admin wants to discuss/publicize their health care reform plans and ABC is willing to air it.

    Jeez. you're right.

    So you're totally okay with government (historically, your arch-nemesis) co-opting the media (your salvation, again, historically).

    The mark of the true Obama fan-boi.
