What are moonbats? I assume dittoheads is another word for "yes men" but I've never heard either expression before.

These remind me of when the expression "spin doctors" first came out. Suddenly the news was assaulting us R,L and centre with the expression and we were expected to know what it meant, without anyone explaining. I've never figured how propoganda became "spin" or where doctors come into it.

Another one, was "unilateral disarmament". Now it's OK for us with a smattering of Latin to figure this but the average Joe must have been wondering where the country of Unilatera was :-) Why they couldn't have just said "one-sided" or "solo" I don't know

>>Mike, I don't give anyone a "pass". If I did, I would be derelict in my responsibilities as a citizen and voter. The right-wing "dittoheads" and left-wing "moonbats" equally piss me off. Anyone who espouses a "party line" unthinkably is a bad person in my book.

>>>In a general sense I agree with you. And I have not seen the show. But it's hard to disagree with the title in this case. We were told lies in abundance before the invasion of Iraq. And after, for that matter. How can you give them a pass just because you belong to their party? Do you appreciate being lied to?
