Reply #3: I know, I really do [View All]

I have the luxury of seeing and hearing those twerps only through the Keith Olbermann prism, which is good enough for me. But it's irritating to realize that their votes count the same as ours, is it not?

One of the facts that I found fascinating (forgive the unintentional alliteration) (wait, did I just say "forgive"?) was that these right-wing shows are part of the basic package of things like Dish TV and other cable providers. So, they get a built-in audience, and, sadly, too many of those people think their ill-founded words are gospel.

I have a good friend, Jewish, educated, white, affluent, life-long Democrat, who told me she can't vote for Obama because he's a Muslim. Even when I provided her with all the correct information, she refused to shift her decision. That's just an example of the inbred racism we're about to encounter in the coming campaign.

But it will always be dressed in clothes of another cut, and it will be subtle. You can be sure that Fixed News and their ilk will do their best to propagate the hatefulness I already anticipate.

Always room in my happy place for nice folks like you ..................
