Surfing the radio stations on the way to work this morning. Some Talking Head was on. She said that "Obama's Poll Numbers were "Reaganesque" - Reagan's were about the same at this point in his administration, he faced much the same problems as Obama, blah blah blah".
I changed the channel, too much spin. Completely different Talking Head on Station #2 was discussing Obama, and how his poll numbers "Mirrored Ronald Reagan's, 6 months into his administration".
I Said "AAAIIAIAIIIII!" and flipped the channel again. This time, two morning news jocks were interviewing each other. Topic of discussion? "How Obama's poll numbers look just like Ronald Reagan's".
Lies are bad enough, but these are DUMB lies. At least, stagger the talking points a little bit throughout the day.
The good news is that Libs won't get much traction comparing their dear leader to Ronald Reagan. Conservatives will call "BS" in a heartbeat (as I did). Liberals hate Reagan. So, I guess, overall, it's not a bad idea. :-)
The manipulation is pervasive and obvious—to us. However, it serves to reinforce the mush that occupies the vacuuous craniums of dembots.
