The attempted smear was a big flop. Now they will be preparing to swoon and gush and tingle over the speech Dear Leader will deliver today. I predict they will drop all the nonsense and switch to the genius of Obama. Obama will be presented as a wonderful centrist peacemaker. The gushing will continue for a day or two as they prepare the media onslaught of health care sob stories leading up to the repeal of the rotten health care act. They are going to go in to the ‘Right Wing Extremist’ routine. Just guessing.
In surveys taken immediately after the vote, a third of the population believed Anita Hill was telling the truth, while 2/3 believed Clarence Thomas. a year later, after the media had 12 months to present their bias to the public, the numbers reversed: 2/3 believed Anita Hill, while only a third believed Thomas.
The same could happen here.
