What The Far Right Does When It Has No Good Arguments

This article describes the campaign developed by George Bush's minister of propaganda, Karl Rove, to counter the powerful effect of Obama's Buffet Rule. Its the kind of response that one might find among children arguing in the school playground. They are taking out ads suggesting that if Buffet and Obama believe that taxes on the wealthy are not high enough, they are free to write a check to the IRS. They probably picked up on this idea by observing some of the comments on the Internet by their supporters, who went back to their childhood experiences on the school playground, making the same argument. This indicates that the propaganda campaign will be successful with the cognitively challenged who have never left their childhood playgrounds.
