Poll question: Who is really behind the "Dean paid bloggers" story

[Walt Starr]

1. My guess is there were more "journalists" being paid by the DOE

not to mention what the FOIA requests to all departments will yield in the way of propoganda movements.

[Walt Starr]

2. and another thing

I wonder how much Defense and State spent propogandizing the leadup to war, and how many mediawhores got cash.

4. LOTS

I think this story has legs-and we can hit the Pukes and the SCLM in one shot.

6. I have been so discouraged lately. I wonder if enough people will care

even when it is discovered that bush*Co has been using tax dollars to spread propaganda since day one. I really need this vacation I'm off on tomorrow.

3. If the DLC isn't behind this

I'll kiss a Republican.

Ew. Gross.

7. nice job

the pessimist in me say that the average American's (below-average human?) pittance of and attention span won't allow them to listen long enough to get the critical points:

1. Dean never tried to hide anything, while bush*Co/Williams did
   
2. bush*Co used tax dollars, while Dean used political funds

8. The fact that the Internet Bloggers Smears have begun show that someone's

running scared. And, it isn't us "Internet Folks" who are the problem.
But, it's designed to take the heat off MSM and Williams just like the "Swift Boat Liars" were designed to diffuse the fact that Kerry had served honorably and Bush didn't.

The Repugs use the same "Manual" for every operation. It's our job to call them out on this fast. Sign the "Free Press Peition" for FCC investigation of Williams and others who've gotten our Taxpayer dollars for promoting Bush Propaganda over our "Licensed Airwaves."

Let's not let them compare the Internet to the Department of Education giving funds to a MSM Commentator.

The Internet...is not regulated Main Stream Media and doesn't pretend to be.

9. Signed petition with the following comment

I am particularly disturbed that a government controlled by the Republican party, the party that portrays itself as fiscally conservative, for small government and morally righteous, would use my tax dollars for political rather than public benefit.
