Unfortunately, I think they were very effective against Bush, especially in relation to the politics of personal destruction.

The “no blood for oil” meme was something I started to hear even from [misinformed] Republicans.

We lost the senate and the house and then the oval office so I think they did pretty well with memes and mantras of paranoia and division.

I know lots of otherwise sane and rational people who *still* believe that “9/11 was an inside job” crap.

I wish it weren’t so but now here we sit with an Alinsky disciple ruling the country.

Pure BS.

Talk about behind the curve! That was the left's slogan in the first gulf war. It was barely even used during the second.

The left mouthed mantras of paranoia since 2000. It did them no good in the 2002 and 2004 elections. We lost Congress in the 2006 election because the Iraq war was going badly. We lost the presidency in 2008 because of the financial crisis and recession.

If you think the left's paranoid mantras convinced any voter who was not already a die-hard leftist, then you are an idiot.

I know lots of otherwise sane and rational people who *still* believe that “9/11 was an inside job” crap.

Yeah, and I'll wager that every single one of them is either a die-hard lefty who will never vote Republican in his life, or an ideological purist with a habit of wasting his vote on third party candidates.

Every conspiracy theorist needs a boogeyman. Alinsky seems to the the one of choice for birthers.

I agree with you...and just recently, I have been confused by Coulter’s response, as I have been a real fan of hers. But, in times like these, I can’t help but question whether these hard times are not “FUEL” for those who only wish to write and sell books-——knowwhadimean? We’re all glued to the FoxNews tube and, honestly, much of what they “hawk” is books written by other “conservatives” that they have on their shows. I’m beginning to think that THEY are using the ‘crisis” to make money, as well, with little concern for the damage that is being done to the regular Joe that no publishing company would publish, if, indeed, he wanted to publish a conservative book.
Google publishers Regency (sp? Coulter’s and Malkin’s and other conservative writers’ publishers) and you’ll find that they won’t publish anyone who doesn’t have an already recognizable “name” OR agent.
Keep up the “birther” fight-—there’s something there that EVERYONE wants hidden, until the time is ripe.....for THEM!!! The rest of us that believe that there is info being hidden on purpose, will not stop, until true transparency is seen.
