It's a deplorable situation when the "tweets" of Sarah Palin get extensive media coverage, but that mainstream media is utterly unconscious of this thoughtful and insightful article by Lisa Graves. Though the kinds of dirty operations have been going on for decades in all areas of politics and culture, even the more intelligent of the ordinary people have been largely unaware of the "conservative" machinations. I agree with you, Lisa, that the repeated "turning of the other cheek" by progressives and moderates to the slapping by what I call "corporatists", is counterproductive and not even Christian. One slap, and one turn of the cheek, maybe, but after the second slap it's time to slap back or at least step back.
