Back
in college we use to joke that as long as someone said something, it must be
true. We were all intelligent people and knew such sophomoric statements were
tenuous at best. There were no facts behind them, no corroboration and usually
no witnesses. In the end we usually knew the statement was false but use to
play along jokingly to its authenticity, usually in jest towards one of our
friends.
Now,
however, I’m not laughing anymore about it. What use to be a humorous joke in
college has turned into both the democrats and media’s method to demonize the
Republicans and Governor Romney. “Governor Romney hates gays and bullied
students as a youth, over 40 years ago.” I heard it on the news. Yet, I found
nothing to corroborate it. There were no reliable sources and the family of the
“alleged victim” denies it. However, the rumor goes on. While at the gym I see
it on CNN. I hear it on the radio. I read it in on Yahoo.
In
the end I’ve been so bombarded with the story that I actually began to give it
some credence. Maybe he was a bully in his younger years? However, as a
responsible person, I looked into the story and found absolutely no basis to
the tale. Since then I’ve since tried to ignore the story but the media
bombardment about it continued. I heard people around work saying things like, “Did
you hear what a bully Romney was?” Or, “That Romney, he sounds like a real
jerk!”
And
that’s exactly what the media and democrats want to happen. They want to pin
the Republicans and their nominees into a corner. They want to define how the
public sees them and dictate what news is said about them. They know that if
they want Governor Romney to look like all bully, the plan is simple. The first
thing to do is release a press statement about it. It actually doesn’t even
matter if there is a shred of truth to it. After a full media bombardment of
the story people will believe its authenticity, despite its lack of any
evidence and an inundation of contradictory facts. In the end, even if the
story was found to be completely fictional, people will still accept as true. As
I said, after hearing it a hundred times you’ll begin to believe it.
This
is not the first time it’s happened this year. Just think of all the negative
stories that the media has churned out this year: Romney hates Latinos, Romney
is a snob, Romney is an elitist, Romney’s wife never held a real job, Romney is
against African Americans, Romney destroys businesses, Romney got into Harvard
by daddy (that’s one invented by the wife-cheater Letterman), Republicans hate
woman, Republicans want to see coat hanger abortions, Republicans hate birth
control and want to see the spread of AIDS and the list could go on forever.
As
I said before, there is no evidence behind these accusations. It’s the image
the media wants to project. It doesn’t need facts. All it really needs is listeners.
When you sit down and look at the facts you see that Obama was the bully. He admitted
it in his own autobiography. Obama was the one helped into Harvard. He again
admitted to excessive drug use and his grades have yet to be released. Obama is
the one who is against African Americans. He wants to expand their dependence
on government and does nothing to get them jobs, financial independence or off
the federal doll. Most importantly, Governor Romney’s wife did have a real job.
She was a mother of 5. My wife does the same, and it’s no life of glamour.
Facts
speak for themselves. Don’t let the media indoctrinate you. Think for yourself or
you’ll become a mindless drone watching MSNBC to hear what you should believe
next.
