Here’s what I mean:
Joe the plumber has become a right wingnut hero and a liberal socialist pincushion, all within one 15-minute interview. But his fame has far extended the allotted 15 minute time frame.
To the right he’s a hero because he has exposed Barack Obama’s tax plan as a socialist scheme. To the left, he’s just a whiner.
And if you listen to either camp, the problem is “the media” of those other guys. The right wing media - the left wing media - the chicken wing media. Puhhlease.
The part that just bites my rectum is the us vs. them mentality, only a part of the ‘us’ is also a member of ‘them’ and we are pretending that it ain’t so. Come on, guys. You talk as if Fox News and MSNBC are in cahoots. Get a grip!
