Those Koch brothers just spent millions on a new ad campaign full of slander about green jobs in this country. See for yourself http://front.moveon.org/share-the-truth-dont-let-these-guys-get-away-with-lying-about-obama/#.T6fpBbNESrt.facebook

What facts? That most individuals like yourself are so brainwashed that you WON'T see the truth or are you just so frightened by the ridiculous television shows and radio programs you listen to actually care about what is correct? You are being lied to by institutions that care nothing for you. I feel so sorry that you are so stuck in the muck that the conservatives have created that you will vote against your own interests.

If you can't refute the story, attack the people.

The other side would say EXACTLY the same when it comes to right-wing conservatives, but most of us learn in kindergarten that name-calling isn't the same thing as rational argument.

What 'facts' had you in mind? Cite a few, and you can start an informed argument, rather than a slanging match.

On a separate topic, I find it interesting that both 'liberal' and 'progressive' are used by the right as insults. The opposites, surely, are 'illiberal' and 'reactionary'. Who is happy to be called either?

Cheers,

R.

You are just a frightened old man on his way to meet Jesus...you hope and the fact that things are not the way they used to be with women, minorities and "those" people anger you. I feel sorry for you.

Unfortunately Mr. D, these are facts. You see the Koch brothers are evil. They will lie, steal or if necessary kill you and your children by polluting your planet. All so they can make even more money. Money, by the way that at this point in their lives they have absolutely no use for.
Don't blindly support them because progressives dislike them. Learn the facts about them and then learn to hate them all by yourself.
They remind me of an old Cree proverb: Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money

I think 'learn the facts' is a great idea. How do you suggest we do that?
The administration is a bunch of damn liers.
The media only tells us what the administration wants us to hear.
We, the people, know nothing and what we think we know is a damn lie.

Decide what you want to know.

Start looking for information outside 'the media' and 'the administration'.

It really isn't that difficult.

Cheers,
