rumor

So now the "mavens" who also act as the talking heads for any and all subjects on television, have come to the conclusion that the Republicans have reinvented the RUMOR. That in their ascent to to the higher heavens of hate and harangue, the weapon most likely to hurt is RUMOR.

Say something, anything, say it often, say it a few ways, never missing the point that what you are saying is far from the truth, a far fetched fabrication or something so absurd that the fact it is said could only mean it MUST be truth.

And so from the RUMOR mongers we get the tea baggers who assume Obama will raise taxes and slowly decrease representation. We get the birthers, the ones who find it hard that anyone named Obama could be of American decent, let alone President. We get the death panelists, people so sure that speaking about how to face your life as you age could only mean the only way to face your future is to have the Government kill you. And now we have the 9/12 movement, those who insist we must revert back to the way America was on 9/11, you know fearful, frightened fainting awaiting the end of the world.

And now the RUMOR somehow has found legs to stand on, lungs to breathe with, and muscle to leap tall buildings or to make sure that anyone in disagreement with the RUMOR has the tall building fall on them.

And because this newest tactic is precise, all the Democrats can do now is spend the valuable time of Americans explaining why the RUMOR is not true, why it is lies, but never having any time to tell the truth, set direction, realize the sadness of never making change or finding fact.

Once again evil triumphs over good. No happily ever after unless its filled with lies.
