We have record levels of poverty and inequality in America. Our armed fores are still engaged in two wars. Nearly fifty million people (myself included) are without health insurance. So what is the message that conservatives had for small town America this weekend via the right-wing small town media market that is Ogden publishing?
The more we learn about President Obama's childhood, the scarier he becomes.
That's the final line of "columnist" Ben Shapiro's opinion piece entitled "Barack Obama's Secret History." I first read it in the pages of the Wheeling Intelligencer, the "flagship" paper for Ogden Newspapers (in 39 cities) on Saturday morning. I'm sure it popped up in most of the other Ogden papers. And it's part of a concerted effort that has taken place since day one of the Obama presidency to portray him as "other" and "different" and "odd" and scary.
C-Span has been running the videos from the Tea Party Convention in Nashville all night, and I started watching when I got up in the morning... and, believe me, this is scary stuff. I especially was taken by one Joseph Farah, who is the Founder, CEO and Editor In Chief of WorldNetDaily.
