The names change, but the formula remains the same.

1) Libertarians and Constitutionalists are beginning to pose a significant threat to the Neoconservative base. Meanwhile, 9/11 Truthers have convinced over a third of all registered Democrats that Bush at least had foreknowledge of the attacks.

2) Co-opt the libertarian Tea Party movement into a pro-war, Christian fundamentalist movement that obsesses over a historically illiterate narrative of Obama as a socialist. Throw in some patently xenophobic memes about him being a secret Kenyan Muslim to completely discredit the original movement. Meanwhile, poison the well of 9/11 Truth with ridiculous and racist memes, along with using every other disinfo trick in the book.

3) Have John Stewart and Stephen Colbert denounce the crazies on both sides and announce a rally to restrict restore the dialogue to a sane narrative that average, mainstream Americans will be made tobelieve in. 9/11 was an outside job, and Obama is doing the best he can in hard times.

Yeah, my friends are all wondering why I'm not psyched.

Indeed.

For those not working within such artificially confined ( and essentially global ) parameters WRT consensus reality, I just listened to the ever articulate Neil Kramer telling it as it really is ( IMHO)

There is no easy way out. But there is a way out.

This is why I come here. I've been looking for a frame grab of JS holding that sign reading "9/11 was an outside job. " Can't find it yet.

Yes, this is the other "brand", isn't it?

Yeah. I couldn't stomach actually watching the Clinton interview, because I knew what a sickening fellatio session it was going to be. 500,000 dead Iraqi children, but nothing to see here folks. Just keep voting Democrat, and we can go back to the 90's when the middle class was on the way up and we didn't have to think about the rest of the world at all.

This is from a comment at that same site. I haven't looked into this myself, but FWIW:

Kevin Bleyer Bleyer joined the writing staff of The Daily Show in 2005, where he has worked on over 1000 episodes. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Bleyer has also scripted material for Bill Maher and conservative comic Dennis Miller.

Since 2008 Bleyer has contributed to a number of U.S. President Barack Obama's speeches, including the President's 2010 address at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner.

Yeah, at first, I was going to hit "I'm attending!" on facebook, then I thought about it for two seconds, and I realized they're not doing anything. Actually, much less than two seconds.
