America: Are You F**king Brain Dead?!
Posted December 10, 2007 | 06:16 AM (EST)



Before the ink on the "No WMD" NIE report had a chance to dry, neo-conservatives hit the talk show circuit and the broadcast Lords of Loud radio right went into overdrive to spin the information into a full scale intel overdrive...

"Who are you going to believe...the NIE intelligence or the President's?"

Neoconworld sent out the hit squad of Podhorertz and Bolton to attack the reports and the firm of Limbaugh, Levin, and Hannity echoed the message: "Sham!"

-Sixteen intel agencies are in collusion to embarrass and undermine the President.
-The report was not fact, but agenda, driven.

Alan Dershowtiz called it "Stupid Intelligence," which would seem to be the present condition of the American voter.

In a Rasmussen Poll,
only 18% of voters are buying the report's conclusion with 66% believing Iran is still building WMD. You say that they must have only polled Fox News viewers? Think again while I splash cold water on the idea that a Democratic administration is a Jan 20, 2009 slam dunk.

Only 29% of liberal voters believe the report. ......(more)

1. The neocons tried, but they were not nearly as successful as they were in 2002/3.

Several of the Sunday talking heads called them on it.

2. Short answer: Yes

Knowing what we know makes oneself crazy! Better not to know.

3. ONLY 18%.... ARE YOU SERIOUS ???

Yes... Obviously Americans are f*** STUPID !

4. Before he leapt to prejudice against Americans, he should have looked at the methodology

In reading the poll response, it's clear that an overall deep suspiciousness regarding all forms of government
intelligence (remember the Iraq war build-up?) is the problem -- the NIE isn't even referenced except in passing.
