Exactly! It has hardly been a fringe element fomenting the divisions and unrest in this country. Nearly all the major media has ignored the truth and poured fuel on the fire by doing so. They carried the water for the "Bush lied" meme. They published national security secrets. They refuse to vet 0bama just as they refused to expose the Clinton's lies and crimes. Even Bill and Hill aren't immune to it and got trampled by the media's willful complicity with 0bama's lies and lack of resume.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Kennedy is one who denigrates our troops with lies.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Kerry denigrates our troops with lies.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Durbin smears our troops with lies.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Cong. Murtha denigrates our troops with lies and false accusations.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Cong. Murray denigrates our troops with lies and praises the good works of Islamic jihadis.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Sen. Reid declares the war lost just as we make good progress. Or tries to use the power of the Senate to silence Rush Limbaugh with a lie.
It is hardly a small fringe element when Speaker Pelosi falsely calls the President a liar.
It is hardly a small fringe element when the NYTs (the most recognized newspaper in America) allows an ad to run that calls an American hero and patriot, risking his own life and limb to accomplish a herculean feat, "General Betrayus."
It is hardly a small fringe element that bankrolls a half dozen or more radically anti-American groups like Moveon.org.
It is hardly a small fringe element when no serious condemnation of these things is heard. Or when it is condemned it is buried or the one who condemns it is mocked and savaged by the press.
It is hardly a small fringe element when a working guy asks "The One" a simple question then finds over 100 reporters on his lawn and his entire life exposed in the national media.
It is hardly a small fringe element when a radical and criminal group like ACORN is funded with hundreds of thousands of tax dollars by our Congress and hundreds of thousands more from the campaign of one of the Pres. candidates.
It is hardly a small fringe element when a major network and their longtime leading talking head fabricate a story from whole cloth to derail the Republican candidate.
The unrest and division is no anomaly confined to a fringe of hotheads and kooks when all of this and more is promoted and encouraged from a wide swath of our national leadership. This division is not arising in a vacuum. It is being encouraged and spread from Congress, from the biggest media outlets and from universities across the nation.
Great list - thanks!!
