Based on my own experience it is *definitely* this.
They are obsessed with "controlling the debate" which is, in itself, a decent strategy. Their problem is that they lie. And then they believe their own lies and think that everyone else does, too. That is their weakness and our strength because we can stick to verifiable facts and bring them down just as Glenn Beck did with a-hole Jones.
Makes you wonder WHY the MSM went with this story...
and then got pissed when Jones resigned...
Jones is a SMALL minute’ part of their huge schemes.
But they are blinded with the power thay don’t see they are the minority and they are busted all-around, RED-handed.
