Unembedding the Victim Hood

Air America's editorial or smoke and mirrors misses(scratch that) covers Un Herd of Change, which I just updated and unembed Ourfuture.org which had two reports highlighting the changes;

CNN and MyDD report 14 to 20 point leaps in approval(Obama on health care reform) respectively. Now is that unprecedented change?

The Victim Hood: Palin on rescuing the media, is now joined by Rep. Joe Wilson. Turn the other cheek becomes pass the other buck.

Pre-South Carolina

Another debate, and the state of victim-hood.

Un Herd of Change

The Heard not the herd.
The unheard-of change.*
Mobilizing progressives and un-precedented change?

The president walked a line that is hard to parse but the two perspectives above might metric it. Inspiring the left and moving the moderates, I don't know if there is a precedence for a 14 to 20 per cent change in polls overnight. Of course there is precedence for news to leap on hypotheticals or rhetoricals anyway. The line was not exactly a leash but in line with our dog metaphor, the feat before us, and should tug at the character of our wagging or blue dogs. This is not our father's hush puppy or soul food.

[9-4-09: As opposed to last week**, I now have a post-post thought on changing the heading. This one should be called: Winding Up / Cracking Down And this really takes the cake. But since some want to have their cake and eat it too, maybe they know what is good for them. These victims and perpetrators of authoritarianism (I formally coined The Victim Hood) just might want and need what they fear. A good cracking down, starting with the media. Freedom of speech is not freedom to buy air time or digital or freedom not to sell it except for lies and hate.]

[**] the flip-flop of a pre-post thought

Victim Hood

Alaska Mythbusters?
Palin charged rape victims? Not Exactly.
Family Values meets Fiscal Conservative?
Is that right?
Reading between the lines, no actually reading the lines, Palin is MIA.
Not exactly a maverick.

You see, that is the difficulty with the media, the right can take things out of context, but the left gets accused when they have it in the least context. In this I mean that Palin has been touted for her executive skills, which is drawing fire from more persistent journalists.

Less than random thought: What is Sarah Palin running for?
November 2011: The New Adventures of Regis and the Old Larry King? Queen of Truth and Balance. A cornerstone: "We should not stand for that, or with that or by that." FYIS: For Your Information Sarah - here are for whom knows started it.
BTW: My language is the victim to the hood of refudiation here. i.e. close enough for government work?
