the bush squad has been fmaous for this kind of handling of cowboy george's appearances pretty much from jump street. it is obviously a scenario according to which the handlers think that the illusion of unanimous support on camera lends some credibility to what is being said there. kind of like riefenstahl's trick in "triumph of the will"..usually the bush squad has some actual defense of these kind of tactics--above you get the bottom-feeding variant ("they" do it too...)
of course this amounts to an abrogation of free speech.
of course the right does not care so long as their boy is doing the abrogating.
so it goes.
