Beware the "Different Impressions" Meme... Email Print

This morning I heard a man call in to my local AM radio station, and he had an interesting but dangerous argument.

What this man said was that he "believed that this whole Wilson story was just a matter of different impressions".

read on..

He explained by saying that Wilson had one impression of the story, and that the Bush Administration had another impression. He also went on to say that it was wrong of Wilson to write his story on the Niger incident because he had "no knowledge" of whether or not the Niger information was true or not, since 'nobody' knew definitively!

Please, this was no misunderstanding, this was not a 'mixed signals' issue. This Administration knew  damn well what they were doing, and it is why they are fighting so hard to keep it covered up. The truth needs to come out at every turn, and obfuscating the main issues with so much smoke up everyone's ass is just not acceptable. This needs a solid refutation.

Don't let this pathetic argument circulate in the mainstream without answer!

This seems like its just different (none / 0)
framing of the "policy disagreement" argument.

Party over country.
Ideology over security.

It basically is.. (none / 0)
I found it a bit disturbing in how insidious it really is though. I looked at it as a way for the disaffected, uninterested, or people who are just plain in denial to easily accept this trash argument and use it as a way to ease their minds about the situation.

It is easy to get complacent when you have this type of garbage excuse spoon fed to you I imagine, so we all need to be very aware of what is hitting the stream and be ready to call bullshit when we hear it.
