Republican Dirty Tricks

This will be my last post before leaving for South Carolina to campaign. I said in a previous post that the shit was going to hit the fan and that it was important to stay cool. I have just discovered that I can’t follow my own advice. My blood pressure is probably off the wall, I’m afraid to check it. I can’t watch the news anymore and I stopped going on line and surfing the blogs. My daughter Amy believes in a vast right-wing conspiracy to control this country (viz. Hiliary Clinton). In the past I have tended to dismiss this idea as hyperbole at best if not outright paranoia. Guess what: she’s right. The Moderate Independent has a good piece of the right wing’s attempt to dictate the Democratic candidate through manipulation of the media. I expected this from Fox and Limbaugh but what I didn’t expect was the mainstream ("unbiased") media would buy into this and spread the lies without doing due diligence and checking the facts themselves (see previous post about the media. It’s very hard to break through this media blitz of lies and innuendoes, but if anybody can see through it it should be New Hampshirites. Let’s hope they do.
