The 'liberal' Media did not report on the Scanlon Memo

"We want to bring out the wackos to vote against something and make sure the rest of the public lets the whole thing slip past them. The wackos get their information form (sic) the Christian right, Christian radio, mail, the internet and telephone trees." - Mike Scanlon, former DeLay Aide and Abramoff Buddy

Guess what one of the underreported news stories of 05 could be?

This memo would be one of them.

David Mark had this to say, "I wonder how conservative Christian activists reacted to the news. Unfortunately, I suspect that very few of them heard or read about what Scanlon wrote. A Google news search found that the incendiary memo made its way into a Salon.com story and a handful of liberal blogs.

But the mainstream media turned a deaf ear. Conservative blogs? Didn't cover it. Fox News Channel? Skipped it.

I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the conservative media starts spinning that the "angry left" is trying to make a mountain out of a memo. It's a lot easier than admitting that, at least in this one case, they were treated like rubes."

This memo is still relevant. We all may not agree as to how much power the 'christian' Right has or what purpose it serves in the Far Right, but it is still a part of the Far Right, and I think we have a responsibility to stop the Far Right, and reporting on this memo is a way we can do it.
