and the second is to be able to write something like this:
… nothing says “closed-minded conservative bubble” like a right-wing racist sexist loon worrying about the murders of brown women. Mark Steyn
Don’t worry Mark the left will catch on as soon as Gays are discovered in Iran.
The attempts to dodge the Mosque for what is it, reflects poorly on them, but I must confess I’m getting really sick of the story, so lets cut to the chase.
1. The Mosque’s supporters hold every legal card at the moment.
2. Moral suasion is unlikely to have any effect unless the developers have something to lose.
3. Whatever the solution it will be spun for propaganda purposes by Islamists.
4. This didn’t become a national issue until the president choose to make it one.
5. The issue highlights the media’s separation from the American mainstream. It’s inability to understand the people it wishes to inform is its doom.
6. This issue is a loser for democrats and no amount of spin will change that, but it’s not the primary issue in the election.
Ok that should do me for a while on this issue
I was speaking to a police officer a bit ago and he said something that frankly never occurred to me. When dealing with accused criminals and the like police officers remember that their convictions only reflect what they have been “caught” doing.
This is in fact what has happened with the media. It’s not that the media hasn’t played us for their own purposes in the past, it’s that now we know about it.
A mantra of the left is that in the 60’s our naivete concerning government was lifted from us, the truth is that naivete about the media is what the internet and the web and blogs has been destroyed forever.
How we use this knowledge is up to us. Hopefully we will use this perception better than the left perception did.
Update: I can’t help but visualizing the AP head editor asking the question: “Can we call it a Tallywacker?“
It seems to have gone from: “The courageous stand of Barack Obama” to “What is the face saving compromise that will solve this problem?”
Apparently the old template is not doing the job anymore.
You know if we had just rebuilt the towers with AA guns on top 5 years ago I bet nobody in the country would care where the Mosque was.
