Bobo's insanity aside (isn't he proving everything the original post says?)

Late;y, I have been watching more of the shows where there is a couple of cons and a couple of libs and the throw out a topic and each person addresses it.  I quit watching this crap about a decade ago but my hunger for info is so great these days I have slummed on occasion.

Here is what I see happens.

1) Topic is introduced (usually with Republican framing): Despite what is apparent on its surface, what are Obama's weaknesses? (actual topic from last nights Race for the White House).

2) Republican throws out ridiculous, often unrelated talking point.  Example: Obama is going to be in trouble because he is too much like Bush.  (Actual response by some Indian neocon last ngith).

3) Democrat argues insane point made under biased framing.

4) Show turns into discussion of exactly how much like Bush Obama is. 

5) Thirty minutes later, the public has been "informed".

AS Colbert says, "George Bush: great president or greatest president?"  Love that line.

The problem is Republicans (at least the pundits) have no problem lying, deceiving and pushing their talking points regardless of reality.  Democrats have this undeniable desire to find some objective truth.  If you put nonsense in front of a Dem pundit the attack the nonsense and get all caught up in it like a tar baby and it becomes the story.  They should probably learn to just keep screaming their talking point over and over.

"McCain knows nothing about the surge!!!!"

Instead of getting into some discussion about the exact date some obscure outreach program in some province people don't really know much about.  Then the GOP can make the conversation a little confusing and throw up their hands and claim it just some political bullshit.  There is no way to know what is true and what isn't.
