The point though, is that when a guy like Michael Moore represented the same kind of iconic character on the left, there is NO WAY the GOP plays this game. (not that they wouldn't, just that they couldn't) The allies of the GOP in the media are simply too outnumbered and bullshit like this would be called exactly what it is. This is the perfect storm right now. DNC President, DNC Senate, DNC House, DNC Media. It will definately be a rough ride for anybody supporting the GOP or providing alternative opinions.
