I'll try again - IF every Freeper was totally aware - and voted against Obama, it would NOT have stopped him from being elected.

Nothing in my post indicated that I thought that was the case.

We CAN BLAME the media - they are the information gatekeepers for the vast majority of citizens - and they worked together against us.

The media is not to blame for the ignorance of the people when the information is easily available. That is just a lame excuse for them.

So your position is that the MSM is totally irrelevant? They offer lies and conspiracy - BUT it doesn't matter because people can find the truth if they LOOK FOR IT?

Silly - almost "liberal" silly... you've been hitting the liberal 'group-think kool aid' again, right?

So a company is putting out tires that explode when a car hits 65 MPH - but it's OK because IF you know where to look you'll find information telling you NOT to buy those tires? Tough luck for those without your research skills? Charming. Totally charming...

I'm thankful we don't live in the same world...

This highlights my objection to McCain-Feingold, and various ‘election reform’ laws. Private individuals and organizations were precluded from running ads, etc. for 30 days before the elections, but media had free rein.

Dreadful laws. But, equally culpable is our ignorant voting public, who base their opinions, and their votes, on what they read or hear/see in the MSM.

Whatever planet you’re on I hope you enjoy it. Apparently the reading comprehension courses there are pretty lousy and the mind reading courses are a complete bust.
