Both sides do it but the levels of BS on the right and their ability to create a boogie man far exceeds the left, imo. Fox, Rush, Beck et el have been pounding away at "the liberal media" for years, which is any thing that doesn't come from the right. Beck's now really hammering anyway at US higher education, whats he call them "reeducation camps?" Really the point is to get as many people as possible to dismiss anything that doesn't come from the right. You can't have people believing in stuff like facts or university studies. If they do that they'll see stuff like every time the right is in charge the debt increases, spending increases, the wealthy get more wealthy and the number of actual middle class families that sink into poverty swells.

For years the right has managed to get people to vote against their own interests by using wedge issues. Gay marriage, abortion etc... That's not working well now that the economy has tanked. Need a new wedge, a new boogie man. Now it's Obama. He and his policies are the boogie man. He's a Muslim. He's a socialist. He's really not born here, he's Kenyan. He believes in some odd Kenyan anti-colonial agenda. You're out of work? It's because of Obama and his socialist programs. It has nothing to do with the fact the economy was in a free fall and we were in 1.? trillion dollar debt after 8yrs. of GOP control. Bush and his folks spent 8yrs digging the US economy into a hole and now that Obama hasn't been able to turn it around in 18 months or so it's his fault.

It's all be design. It's all to get as many people as possible not to look at the facts. The GOP and right were in charge of just about everything for most of Bush Jr. 8 yrs. The result was a tanked economy and a massive debt. The right screams the debt is too high, taking zip responsibility for their role in creating that debt. By pushing their boogie man theory they're able to get people to protest against the debt while pushing to raise that debt by continuing the costly Bush Jr. tax cuts across the board. They hate debt... unless it's a result of their spending agenda. Really pretty amazing... and disgusting all at the same time.

If the right actually did what they say and made smaller more effective government I'd be happy to vote for them. But not once have they done that. Some how I doubt they're going to do it now.
