Good Morning,
When we start to worry about what Fox "News" and the Right Wing media "reports" and then actually react to the so-called moral majority, by ignoring our own left leaning values, then it will be an America that will be in the decline.
We simply cannot let these people dictate what's right or wrong, we need to think for ourselves, and dig a little deeper to find the truth. I believe in your blog, you stated something like 'You can't blame Fox for this one" Actually I DO blame Fox for this one ENTIRELY, they, among others are all part of Right Wing Talking Points. Issues become Toxic because Fox makes them toxic, and they repeat lies all day long. Is it a coincidence that Rush, Beck, Fox News etc. etc. etc., all day long, all "reported" the same thing? They just keep hammering, and unfortunately some 'fall into their trap and actually start believing their crap.'(hey that rhymes) "The more you repeat a lie the more it becomes believable"
Therefore I applaud Michelle Obama for inviting Common to the White House. Controversial?...only if you believe the Right Wing Media, who at this time needed to find SOMETHING after the boost to Barack. Further, I actually believe this all HELPS Obama's re-election, I'm sure a poll of young hip voters, would verify. The White House really does know what it's doing.
Keep up the good work on your blog Bill, most of everything is right on, but on this one you may have been a little intimidated by the Right Wing media. That's not going to happen with me.
....a little too early for me to be in a bar...maybe later
