Don't give me that crap! Tell me a lie.

I guess the conventional wisdom in political campaign is if you lie enough it will become the truth. “Obama is bad for America.” At least this is the Republican model for the Romney campaign. Distort and slander your opponent enough and people will believe anything you say. And the more campaign money from unknown sources you have the more vagaries and generalities you can put out there in TV and Radio land.

Where is the proverbial “Buzzer” that goes off each time a person blathers a falsehood. “BUZZ!” Well, fantasies like that only exist on game shows and late night TV. However, we depend on the mainstream media to be the so-called “Whistle Blower.” But, these days, the media is asleep at the wheel. Maybe comatose is a better description. Where is the electronic and print media when a buzzer moment occurs? Hands in their pockets? Outdo lunch maybe?

Well, more like hiding in a closet afraid to speak or print the truth in fear of being labeled liberal. Telling the truth is liberal? Since when? Since George W Bush and Fox news.

Since September 11, 2001 anybody and everybody questioning the president or his administration was labeled unpatriotic and liberal. This was pounded on over and over again that it became accepted as the so-called truth.

The truth? Yes, exaggeration and prevarication is the accepted norm. Accepted norm? Are you lying to me? Am I lying? Why you freaking liberal! You can kiss my buzzer! You unpatriotic elitist
