...to use the internet properly.

The order Jeb Bush signed

(Hint the state of Fla has made it available as the first link on Google so you can't miss it if you even halfways try and verify these things)

All that effort to repeat a bunch of lies in a flash movie. The DU, truthout, rense, and countless other sites that are just a waste of bandwidth repeat the lie even when offered the truth. If something really happened don't you think Democrats would have been all over it back in 2002? I mean...come on!

Here's an example of the lame chain-propaganda for the gullible that gets this sort of thing started:

"My brother-in-law saw an over turned truck and it had hundreds of signs with "polls closed due to martial law" written on them. He was driving near the projects and I thought I should pass this along."

"I work at a large printing company that makes road signs for construction crews and other government contract work. We just received an order for thousands of huge "Martial Law has been Declared" signs. It could cost me my job since I'm not supposed to talk about our contracts but I know people need to know about this."

The gullible, with the drool dangling off their chins, follow these pied pipers across the internet and repeat the message because they so desperately want it to be true. They need an excuse for why their lives are miserable--an escape mechanism of a grand conspiracy that is turning them on the screw. Pointing the finger at Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell and others keeps them from having to look closely at their own choices and lives.

If imagining George Bush is the 'Grand Poohbah of the High Conspiracy to Rule the Planet' relieves the pressure of the real world, there isn't much harm in it. But when folks actively use these propaganda pieces as the basis of their political outlook and interpret their reality through this marred lens of lies--it is bound to cause problems for lots of folks.
