The myth that Bush has ever lied to the American people is Goebbels-like Big Lie propaganda at its most refined. It fools the illiterate low-income segment of the black community, who the white left treats with an out-of-hand contempt that would make the Confederate slave holders and traders flush with outrage. It fools the half-man thumb-sucking eastern liberals who's only goal is to make themselves FEEL GOOD by hating their country. It fools the deadbeats who suck the blood of our nation through entitlements. It does not, however, fool the vast majority of the American people who have come to realize, since the Clinton disasters, that their continued existence depends on their diligence, and, if they are destroyed as a people, they have only themselves to blame...

Media's falling all over itself to avoid the "L" word. The backpeddling of the pro-war editorial contingent is quite amusing: <<Funny thing: The Post's editorialists were mocking Gore's bamboozle argument on the same day that its reporters were documenting the bamboozlement. In the Aug. 10 news pages, reporters Barton Gellman and Walter Pincus laid out the utter mendacity of the Bush administration's nuclear case. Amid new revelations about how the Bushies misled the public about Hussein's nuclear capability, the reporters noted, "The possibility of a nuclear-armed Iraq loomed large in the Bush administration's efforts to convince the American public of the need for a preemptive strike." Yet over on the editorial page, a different worldview—an ass-covering worldview—prevailed: The Bush administration didn't frame the debate for war. In fact, argued the Post, the case for war came from the Clinton administration. "In the end, most members of Congress accepted the logic that President Clinton put forward in 1998: that, if Saddam Hussein was not stopped, he would 'rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal,'" reads one editorial.>> washingtoncitypaper.com
