"The Republican Noise Machine" by David Brock
Is there any particular reason that every book you present here comes from the far left side of the spectrum?
Thanks Cow, you fell right into the trap I was hoping you would. You and your holier than thou bullsh*t about everything coming from this side of the political spectrum or the other. Maybe you should know a little something about David Brock and his background before spouting off.
David Brock is a very well known CONSERVATIVE writer. He's written for the Washington Times, The American Spectator, been a research fellow for the Heritage Foundation. He has even penned a couple of must have books from the Conservative Book Store. This guys knows the story because he was part of it and used it to his advantage to disparage Anita Hill. You don't get much more right wing than David Brock. Or are you saying that because he decided to expose what he felt was a threat to democracy that he switched teams and went to opposite pole?
"Has someone got control of your head there bub?"
Naww, bub, but it seems like you are one of the suckers that the media counts upon to continue the echo of mis-truths. What's funny is that Brock actually explains in great detail how the spin is spun and how people become unwitting accomplaces in the spread of disinformation. So please Cow, tell us how YOU have not bought into the mass media control mechanisms. Maybe you can explain how you didn't really believe that Iraq was a den of murderous terrorists and that they were financing and spreading their WMDs to what ever organization would take them. Come on, you've obviously been aware of the truth all along and saw through the media garbage. Maybe explain how you haven't been a media lacky in repeating their lies as promoting them as truth? Its all part of the strategy and you readily accept your role. Just admit it. You'll feel great, trust me.

That's a trap? It says right on his bio he's a conservative writer who flipped sides. So what? Those are a dime a dozen. I presented the opposite view, something you're incapable of, which apparently caused your brain to explode. You have absolutely no answer for it because there isn't one.
Your position is so full of holes and contradictions that you look like a pretzel most of the time.
You continually claim we're being sapped by Bush yet you continually post mainstream media articles to bolster your anti-Bush position. Meanwhile, more than half the newspapers in America are endorsing Kerry.
It's laughable. I love it when you talk. Keep digging. You're something else.
By the way, I posted this in another thread a minute ago in case you miss your blanky.
"Conspiracy theories are one way to make sense of what happened and regain a sense of control," Barkun said. "Of course, they're usually wrong, but they're psychologically reassuring. Because what they say is that everything is connected, nothing happens by accident, and that there is some kind of order in the world, even if it's produced by evil forces. I think psychologically, it's in a way consoling to a lot of people."

By the way, I'll be busy transporting cats around the snowy steppes of Alberta in the next while so I won't be able to reply. Not that I should bother anyway.
