Reply to post #8: Even so, we need the hypocrites. Without them there is no one to look up to.

>If he hadn’t done anything wrong then why would anyone investigate him.

*** We have a Constitution that addresses reasoning like this.

MM:

Too true. Provisional morality and selective memories are a wonderful thing, aren’t they?

What truly gets me is just how many people unreservedly believe anything and everything the MSM sagely informs them of. I have quite literally had people informing me, rabidly, all about the 9/11 conspiracy of Bush arranging for the WTC to be taken down. It makes no difference that I can refute any “proof” they might state, they reject it out of hand and return to their MSM talking points.

What the author did not take into account is this: People who do not have morals cannot be hypocrites. Democrats are not pretending to be beacons of virture. Therefore, one cannot hold them to a standard that doesn’t exist.

How wonderful it must be to be a Democrat.

Now I can comment. Phil, good article…my mother could have written parts of it based on her comments as I was growing up.

We live in an interesting age where nothing is what it seems to be. I don’t remember ever being able to accept a source as accurate until I did some due dilligence to verify the content. Someone much more trusting can get their news from TV or newspapers. Even on the internet it takes multiple sources to provide enough information to squeeze out the slant and get to basic underlying facts.

If you make a study of propaganda you will note that White Hours press releases are using new terms designed to resonate with the uneducated masses and knowing that these masses will not question anything that sounds good. Repackaging of old tired and failed ideas gets a new life when called investment. Remember the old marketing approach that it is a new product if I say it is. Greatest example was New Improved XXXX. What was new and improved? The box. Welcome to America in 2009!

Single sourcing makes you a parrot not a scholar.

bubybl, is your post a case of mistaken site? This is not the Daily KOS.

I find your comments objectionable primarily because they have nothing to do with the article that was posted or comments made on the article.

Obama is mass murder! Obama family owned slaves! Obama’s kids are cute.
All of the above statements are true abortion, forebears of his white mother owned slaves, according to genealogical research and census records, at least I think so.

It a shame that the MSM has distorted the results of past election, their conspiracy started in the primaries.

I think Stevens lost by putting himself in a questionable situation. If he hadn’t done anything wrong then why would anyone investigate him. DO NOT LET HIM continue the corruption.

Another team of investigators should be assembled to do the job right.

Did STEVENS LOOSE DUE TO HIS FAILURE TO REPORT THE KICKBACKS FROM THE OIL COMPANY OR DID HE LOOSE BECAUSE THE INVESTIGATORS DIDN’T INVESTIGATE PROPERLY?
