Can we sue the media for criminal abuse of the First Amendment? Can we impeach them for lying about the WOT in an attempt to have our troops withdrawn?
Fortunately, no we can't. If that sounds odd, then we have to step back a minute. If lawsuits for lying were allowed, Michael Moore and Al Franken would never see the outside of a courtroom.
What we can do is to expose lies whenever and where-ever we find them. This is where Freerepublic has been exactly the right forum, in exactly the right place, at exactly the right time.
As to whether people refuse to see the lies for what they are... well, that's where our destiny lies. If the MSM win, and 51% or more of the people's minds are pablum... then we suffer. Worse, though, is what our children will suffer.
Do not go gently into that dark lie. Rage, rage against those who would pervert the truth. Semper fi.
