UPDATED – 2009: The Year of the Failed Narratives
The list so far:
1. Global warming.
2. The postulates of The Hamsherist Manifesto ( 1 minute and 15 seconds into this video) in its many iterations, a narrative which was obliterated – along with Hamsher’s credibility – by Jane Hamsher herself.
3. American oppression breeds terrorists. Seems that the enjoyment of “wealth, privilege, and education” breeds terrorists as well. Who knew!
4. Janet Napolitano is looking out for our nation’s security. This one actually failed at Fort Hood. But you knew it was going to once the bumper sticker wrote itself: “I’m a National Security Threat, And I Vote”.
5. Obama has a plan. On one side, an FDL writer thinks Obama’s out to lunch on this one. On the other, so does Jim Geraghty at The Corner. Nuff said.
UPDATE: 6. The system worked like clockwork. Narrative debunking courtesy of Robert Gibbs himself, with a little help from Jake Tapper.
