Now that’s a message for McCain. More Bush!
Dave Johnson, a friend from my Patriot Project days where we reported swiftboating and other nefarious right-wing acts together, reveals an interesting reality:
Here’s one of the ways the right’s smear machine works. Far-right blogs post something. Then a site higher up their food chain picks it up, like NewsMax, CNSNews, WorldNetDaily or Politico. Then the Drudge Report or Moon’s Washington Times gets it from there and spreads the story further. Somewhere in there Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity talks about it on the air. Finally the corporate media picks it up and uses the excuse that “the story is circulating.”
You see, someone (guess who) leaving a comment at the Obama site proves that Obama is anti-semitic. You’ll be hearing about it from every direction very soon. …So bloggers – watch out. Right-wingers are posting vile comments at blogs, and then claiming that blog’s readers are saying vile things.
