the Republican Party has some potent weapons at its disposal. They have the serious-sounding writers like Brooks whose reporting always seems to lean right. They have a whole news organ, Fox, which can be counted on to spread the propaganda messages every day. News radio is littered with Limbaughs and Medveds who are popular. Many citizens let these right-wing radio and TV schmucks do their thinking for them. And none of these media liars need tell the whole truth. They just need to skim a shred of fact that proves their attacks have merit. And when they shout it loud enough and often enough, people listen and remember. Example, 'Ayers is a Weatherman bomber.' Let's remember the election machinery is under the control of Republicans, and they have shown they are not above using chicanery to tip an election. Of course, Barack Obama is black and has a name that sounds Muslim. Some more votes there. All in all, McCain-Palin have a fighting chance to win this sucker, God help us all.
