How Many Times Do They Have to Say It Before The Media Recognizes That It's a Coordinated Effort?
http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2010/01/08/how-many-times-do-they-have-to-say-it-before-the-media-recognizes-that-its-a-coordinated-effort

Dana Parino, former White House Press Secretary: "We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush's term."

Mary Matalin, former Dick Cheney adviser and GOP talking head: "I was there, we inherited a recession from President Clinton and we inherited the most tragic attack on our own soil in our nation’s history." (They did not inherit a recession from Clinton—they inherited balanced budgets and surpluses, which they squandered.)

And now Mr. 9/11 himself gets in on the act...

Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor, failed New York senate candidate, failed presidential candidate: "We had no domestic attacks under Bush. We've had one under Obama."

Let me see... under Bush we had the anthrax attacks, the shoe bomber, and... what was that one again? Oh, right...

4. Some brave citizen will step up at some point
one or two will open the floodgates, and we'll finally begin to get out from under the media oppression.

7. They say it with a little implied asterisk * (after 9/11) like it's said but really not said
They think they can sneak it up on us that way over a few years. And I bet they get away with it too. Those tactics are very hard to fight, when they are in charge of the media.

9. The media knows it's coordinated because they're part of the effort too.

10. They've finally lost their minds. Repugs Poll numbers down worse than Dems and they are FREAKIN'
They can't understand why Americans aren't rushing into the arms of the Repugs as Dems Criticize Obama for the Rightward Turn he's taken. They are falling all over themselves in angst not knowing which way to run anymore.
