Reply #3: Supplanting the GOP [View All]

think tanks? It strikes me that if this is the upshot of these various groups having a real effect on what people learn and think then a significant battle has been won we had not been particularly noticing.
In silence the GOP think tanks have been nauseatingly, somberly quoted and sourced. Although this is the heavy side of the Noise Machine our assault upon the still RW dominated media is taking a toll. The think tanks are discredited and drowned out. The raising of passion and volume has turned the pious blowhards into lather lipped fascists, looking for anyone weak enough to still bully around(usually the DC Dems).

The ACLU is no longer quaintly isolated and irrelevant but part of an army and in lashing out the RW shows their hatred is only bounded by fear. Fear of all truth and all opposition and all sources of thought and honest conviction based on truth and the highest ideals of civilization.
