This entire AIG out rage episode is nothing more than a carefully staged diversion to hide what’s really going on in Washington. The current incarnation of modern liberalism (as opposed to classical liberalism, which actually cared about things like liberty) needs to constantly have foils to hurl mock out rage against. First is was Bush & Cheney. Then it was evil Wall street. Then Rush. Now AIG.

I believe the left’s intention is to keep their voters running on righteous outrage and moral indignation. Strong emotions, but necessary to keep their base from calming down, and using logic and reason to evaluate the true situation.

I guarantee, the second their polls show this issue is no longer at blood boiling level, they’ll pick another target.

They probably thought they would get more mileage out of Rush, except they forgot, he fights back.
