Propagandarama: Fear of Tea Parties
The myriad Ministry of Truth sub-branches have been busy this week!
Seems that because Fox News is getting on the Tea Party bandwagon, somehow that’s supposed to diminish the whole Tea Party movement. All of a sudden, any perceived support or sympathy is outright sponsorship. Even if it were, so what? Fox News is getting in on the Tea Party action because they’d be stupid not to. Their audience must dig it (television is a business, after all) and I bet you many of their anchors dig the movement itself, just like Jane Hamsher must dig anti-war demonstrations.
But you want to make inferences that automatically discredit a cause? How about this: global warming/climate change must be a hoax. Why? Well, it’s Time Magazine’s cover story for the week and Time Magazine is part of the same organization that owns CNN. The same CNN that suppressed stories of Iraqi atrocities for years just to keep its Baghdad bureau open. See? We can all play this game!
The important thing are these facts: Tea Parties are multiplying like rabbits; lots of people are showing up to them; and the utopia of one nation under Obama is not happening. I know. This is chilling news to some.
I’ll tell you why the Left is angry and scared about the Tea Party Movement. The Left has always been about changing what it is into what – in their view – should be. There is a way the world is supposed to work, there is a place where it’s supposed to be, and you can only get there if the masses make it happen. Revolution! Change!
Now the masses seem to be organizing and they are demanding change, but they are standing athwart history yelling stop. And that’s not how the revolution was supposed to go. That’s gotta suck if you are a Leftie.
