"Practically everything that the RW noise machine says/writes/blogs is some kind of a false choice."
This gets to a key point. In a more rational society, we would not be wasting time having to repond to the noise machine and it's echo chamber in the mainstream media. The conservative movement operates on a level that is transparently idiotic. So much so that it shouldn't require more than hearing its pundits talk to no how wrong they are, kind of like how you don't need to be an art critic/historian to tell that a five year's sketch of a stick figure isn't comparable to Van Gogh's starry night.
Bill O'Reilly as been leading his S-Ps are liberal/communist/atheist god-hating Soros funded socialist radicals who operate via organizations that are more dangerous than al Qaeda (Media Matters and the ACLU). Why, oh why, does that even need a response? Has the moronic Bill O'Reilly ever heard of William Jennings Bryan? You know, the cross-of-gold fundamentalist anti-evolutionist Populist party presidential candidate. That right there just shatters O'Reilly's binary world view.
But he won't notice that. No. Point it out to him and he'll yell at you or cut your mic. Then he'll put you on his enemies list and say you're a Soros funded anti-American S-P who is waging war on Christianity.
It's so frustrating.
