The “liberal” NY Times was instrumental in drumming up support for the wars

[quote=permabear][quote=urbanrealtor]Kind of like the first time I saw Rob Halford at Subway or when I asked Jewel to move so I could make a pool shot at the Casbah.[/quote]

So… Rob Halford frequents Subway??[/quote]

Seriously.
Go to the Subway at 4th and University in Hillcrest.

The older dude with a baseball cap and a predator tattoo on his leg is Rob Halford.

Very mellow.

I have seen him there like 10 times in the past few years and the staff know him by name.

And yes he is a homo.

Exactly. In fact, they and many of the other so-called “liberal media” kept the Clinton-Lewinsky thing going on for months and months, and jumped on every Clinton administration “scandal” that popped up during his administration. For the first several years of GWB’s tenure, they rarely questioned his decisions and actions. They watched without comment while a largely Republican Congress (with the aid of an only-too-happy-to-help Democratic faction) blew through the budget surplus left from Clinton, and proceeded to pile up another huge deficit (and that didn’t include the war costs, which were intentionally omitted from the budget).

In fact, the press were asleep at the wheel for 8 or 10 years at least, and didn’t stir until Hurricane Katrina made it impossible for them to look away. IMHO they were trying to prove that they weren’t liberal and biased, and went overboard in the process. What they fail to realize is that those that truly believe that Fox is fair and balanced are never, ever going to believe that the NYT or WaPo or any other outlet not owned by Rupert Murdoch is unbiased. So they need to forget about reaching that part of the population, and get back to actually doing their jobs. When they start doing that, maybe comedians won’t feel that they have to bring the shortcomings of our lawmakers to our attention, or have to organize rallys where people who are shocked and dismayed by the vitriol being spewed by the wingnuts can get together and realize that they are far from being alone in their concern for our nation’s future.

You know, I’ve been hearing a lot of unsupported figures and dubious claims thrown out by the far right recently, among them pronouncements that 80 percent of the country feels as they do. With the amount of air time and column space that their theatrics earn them, who would believe that those figures weren’t accurate. Well, perhaps the driving force behind the organizing of Saturday’s rally was the desire to show Washington that these claims and numbers are far from accurate. I’d have to say that the attendance figures appear to support that hypothesis.

The American left is a phantom. It is conjured up by the right wing to tag Barack Obama as a socialist and used by the liberal class to justify its complacency and lethargy. It diverts attention from corporate power. It perpetuates the myth of a democratic system that is influenced by the votes of citizens, political platforms and the work of legislators. It keeps the world neatly divided into a left and a right. The phantom left functions as a convenient scapegoat. The right wing blames it for moral degeneration and fiscal chaos. The liberal class uses it to call for “moderation.” And while we waste our time talking nonsense, the engines of corporate power—masked, ruthless and unexamined—happily devour the state.
The loss of a radical left in American politics has been catastrophic. The left once harbored militant anarchist and communist labor unions, an independent, alternative press, social movements and politicians not tethered to corporate benefactors. But its disappearance, the result of long witch hunts for communists, post-industrialization and the silencing of those who did not sign on for the utopian vision of globalization, means that there is no counterforce to halt our slide into corporate neofeudalism. This harsh reality, however, is not palatable. So the corporations that control mass communications conjure up the phantom of a left. They blame the phantom for our debacle. And they get us to speak in absurdities.
The phantom left took a central role on the mall this weekend in Washington. It had performed admirably for Glenn Beck, who used it in his own rally as a lightning rod to instill anger and fear. And the phantom left proved equally useful for the comics Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, who spoke to the crowd wearing red-white-and-blue costumes. The two comics evoked the phantom left, as the liberal class always does, in defense of moderation, which might better be described as apathy. If the right wing is crazy and if the left wing is crazy, the argument goes, then we moderates will be reasonable. We will be nice. Exxon and Goldman Sachs, along with predatory banks and the arms industry, may be ripping the guts out of the country, our rights—including habeas corpus—may have been revoked, but don’t get mad. Don’t be shrill. Don’t be like the crazies on the left.

The liberals laugh. And the country is taken hostage.

The Rally to Restore Sanity, held in Washington’s National Mall, was yet another sad footnote to the death of the liberal class. It was as innocuous as a Boy Scout jamboree. It ridiculed followers of the tea party without acknowledging that the pain and suffering expressed by many who support the movement are not only real but legitimate. It made fun of the buffoons who are rising up out of moral swamps to take over the Republican Party without accepting that their supporters were sold out by a liberal class, and especially a Democratic Party, which turned its back on the working class for corporate money.
Fox News’ Beck and his allies on the far right can use hatred as a mobilizing force because there are tens of millions of Americans who have very good reason to hate. They have been betrayed by the elite who run the corporate state, by the two main political parties and by the liberal apologists, including those given public platforms on television, who keep counseling moderation as jobs disappear, wages drop and unemployment insurance runs out. As long as the liberal class speaks in the dead voice of moderation it will continue to fuel the right-wing backlash. Only when it appropriates this rage as its own, only when it stands up to established systems of power, including the Democratic Party, will we have any hope of holding off the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party.
Wall Street’s looting of the Treasury, the curtailing of our civil liberties, the millions of fraudulent foreclosures, the long-term unemployment, the bankruptcies from medical bills, the endless wars in the Middle East and the amassing of trillions in debt that can never be repaid are pushing us toward a Hobbesian world of internal collapse. Being nice and moderate will not help. These are corporate forces that are intent on reconfiguring the United States into a system of neofeudalism. These corporate forces will not be halted by funny signs, comics dressed up like Captain America or nice words.
