Me too Outraged..

That is, I’ve tried this thing with deciphering fiction from fiction..and all I ever wind up with is..fiction. And, it’s always the kind of fiction that somehow converts to horrific and terror-filled realities.

More and more, I love Jon Stewart. There is more truth on his show than anywhere else in the MSM.

To a certain extent, the job of these shameless mercenaries who make a great living by spreading outrageous lies, is a form of terrorism.

It is up to all of us to make sure that we don’t let these dwellers of the swamp dictate the future of our country.

Making fun of their ridiculous positions is one of the best antidotes against their poisonous minds and voices.

Somebody better start education the Neo cons in the Effects of Oversatiation -but it is already too late.their deserate attempts at playing the same ‘Stimulus/Response’ game has already gotten the inevitable response of being Bite by their subjects.
Quick Lesson- if you keep ofering spoiled meat and yanking the Pitbulls chain- it will eventually snap and come after You.
At the heart of Media is the fact you must have an audience- otherwise you are talking to yourself. The media personalities should wake Up -the Neo con machine can not sustain them, so they may want to start working for the Mases- better rating, leading to more advertisers , leading to better revenues and Profit shares in the market.
The Passing of Tim Russert and the national and international reaction to it, should provide enough evidence that lies and BS, do Not Trump the peoples desire for real Conversation and the opportunity to decipher the information on their own.
Keep shoving that Rotten meat down our throats and Yanking our chains and You Will get bit.Didn’t Hitlers minister of Propaganda get convicted for perpetuating such Misinformation and Deceptions?
Maybe we should prosecute some of these ‘mouthpeices’ for complicity in the crimes this admin has committed (Treason, War crimes, crimes against Humanity)- maybe they’ll stop talking (regurgitating) and Start SINGING! I bet Hannity, Limbaugh & O’Reilly would look great in Orange jumpsuits and shackles.

Re: Cyrena

I agree. This was a great shot in the arm. Hopefully to immunize us against those.. well… “twisters” in cyberspace. 

Thank you Jon Stewart.  Obviously.. the “responsible” MSM is watching our backs.  Wow, thank god for that, since otherwise we’d be put in the postition of deciphering fiction from .....fiction.  And I gotta tell ya, that is tough to do, trust me.. I’ve tried.

Oh my! This is really good! The examples with Hannity and all of the others are exactly what we read here at truthdig everyday, from the IED mongers.

In short, TD has been taken over by Hannity and O’Reilly clones.

This is HUGE! wink
