Deluding Voters 101

Glenn Greenwald has a good, link rich post on GOP hypocrisy and the right wing sleaze machine. The money quote:
We have been barraged with laws, programs, sermons, demagoguery and all sorts of moral demonization from a political movement whose most powerful pundit is a multiple-times-divorced drug addict who flamboyantly cavorts around with a new girlfriend every few months in between Viagra-fueled jaunts to the Dominican Republic. It is a political movement whose legacy will be torture, waterboards, naked, sadomasochistic games in Iraqi dungeons (or, to Rush, "blowing off steam"), with all sorts of varied sleaze and corruption deeply engrained throughout its DNA -- all propped up by a facade of moralism and dependent upon the support of those who have been propagandized into believing that they are voting for the Party of Values and Morals.
You have to wonder how they can continue to sell that image. But then again, I suppose it doesn't hurt to have Fox News spreading false propaganda for you. I mean, how simple. Make a little "mistake" on the prime showing of Bill O'Reilly and identify the pedophile as a Democrat and then quietly drop the banner with no attempt at correcting the record. How many people are going to watch both the orginal airing and the repeat to catch it for themselves?
