    If the press had been doing its job, we wouldn't have seen 70% of the American people believing in a lie.

    It might be interesting to entertain the notion that they are doing their job, but its just not what you think it is. Or, it just so happens that all those people that did do really bad on their SATs had to get jobs somewhere. I guess its possible for so many people by random chance to do a poor job :)

    I think you should read my post then see why I didn't address the lies of SBVT especially since several people have online on other websites. It takes initiative to actually see BOTH sides. I encourage you to do so. You can also keep drinking the cool-aid. Here I'll help you out: go to www.google.com and begin your voyage.

    What a stroke of genius in your statistics - you are an official propagandist. Let's use your logic. Consider a slave plantation with 49 slaves and 1 master. Now do a study on wether all 50 want emancipation. Assuming all slaves want to be free that means that 98% of the plantation wants to be free, right? However, emancipation was probably not the political climate of slave plantations. The point is that polling the grunts has no validity when it comes to making decisions or reality. By the way the study that your quoting, one of the few attempts at right-wing quantitative analysis, used business execs as the null model. The study was designed to produce that result.

    "The end of the Big Media News monopoly on the news business, and the beginning of grass-roots checks and balances." - I don't know what your talking about. There are fewer news companies today than every before; just look at the ownership. And as far as "Big Media hates people like Matt Drudge and the bloggers in their pajamas". If they hated it so much why was the story propogated so much, and helping them earn so much revenue in advertising dollars. Yea, the media obviously hates scandals and such because they report so little of it.

    "Argument through fallacy is always the recourse of the weak mind" could also be "Argument through fallacy is always the recourse of the propagandist".

    Wow, keep drinking the cool-aid because your brainwash-meter isn't all the way up. Your points serve as evidence in how the whole debate is twisted. Your talking about a war 30 years ago over statements Kerry made when he actually served in Vietnam as opposed to the Champagne squad that George "I'm no fortunate son" Bush deserted to work on a republican campaign. Keep going with your points and be sure to get the times accurate and other such time consuming irrelevant details because you only have to blow crap until november to obfuscate the unmitigated catastrophe that is our foreign policy. Keep Distracting Yo!
