How the right-wing sees us

[CoolOnion]

Someone on Daily Kos asked why the rightwingers always think everything we do is part of "an agenda" or that everytime one of us speaks our mind, we're doing the bidding of Michael Moore. Here's my reply:

You have to think of it from their perspective

Imagine your brain shrinking down to the size of a pea. You can't handle a lot of facts and figures, and you never read the newspapers. If did, you wouldn't use the internet to read the overseas press. That would be anti-American, you know.

So you get all your information from the right-wing noise machine--either direct from the source (FOX News) or from the echo chamber (everything else).

You believe the President is honest and that everyone who disagrees is a traitor. You love Bush with a misguided patriotism bordering on idolatry.

You can't understand where all these other people are getting this anti-war information. They must be part of some left-wing conspiracy.

You've never heard of reading independently, using the blogs to meet like-minded people, attending rallies and "meet-ups."

Naturally, you assume it's that loud-mouthed Michael Moore who's coordinating it all, 'cause you assume everyone else marches in lockstep with their leader, just as you march with yours.

"It's that liberal media," you think, as you turn to Bill O'Reilly for the real news...

1. How Bushler sees the world if we do not OBEY.

2. They can't see us at all. They see only the vision pundits paint of us.

They are blinded by their own assumptions and willful ignorance
