[Peace-discuss] Why the Democrats covertly support the Teaparty

[C. G. Estabrook]

  Glenn Greenwald on Democracy Now! on Tuesday:

"...if you ... just turned on television news and watched, you would think that
Christine O’Donnell was by far the most powerful person in the world, because,
especially on stations devoted to maintaining Democratic power, like MSNBC and
other cable shows, it’s twenty-four hours nonstop about Christine O’Donnell,
because that way ... you don’t have to talk about ... what we’re doing in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, the continuation of Bush-Cheney terrorism policies.
You get to talk about Christine O’Donnell and comments she made fifteen years
ago on some late night television show as a way of mocking her and deriding her
and distracting people’s attention from what a failure this administration has
been. That’s why she serves such an important role./ It’s a way of manipulating
and distracting the voting base" /[emphasis added].
