What we have here is a conspiracy to divert attention from dem corruption and negativeness by attacking the leaders and thinkers on the side of truth and light. The ultra-left wing, neocommunist media is happy to carry the messages.
Pick the leaders on our side. Bush, Cheney, Rush, are some already under attack. But others, Rice, Powell (yes, they'll even attack blacks who are not leftists), Clarence Thomas, lead senators and governors, industrail leaders and a very few folks in entertainment will take fire between now and national convention time. The dems can't advance their own issues or people and must blunt the influence of the good guys.
BTW, these are Willie's White House sewer dwellers. We know where Begala is, but where is Craig Livingstone and the other really nasty types that McAuliffe and the DNC use?
