The most effective weapon in the right wing's arsenal is the technique of disseminating deceptive propaganda known as flooding, which consists of burying the voters in an avalanche of bogus information which appears to be factual. This technique is effective because the average person has neither time nor inclination to closely examine the individual components of these overhelming chunks of misinformation in an effort to find the revealing flaws.[...]That same year, the heartless Halliburton employee Vice President Dick Cheney gave 77 percent of his income to charity.[...]
Normally the prospect of dissecting the multiple elements of your often imposing presentations is a discouraging challenge, the ultimate effect of which you might perceive as relative success. Perhaps sufficient success to cause you to think you could get away with portraying a diabolical scoundrel like Dick Cheney as a generously charitable humanitarian. But in this rather audacious attempt to score a point you have over-shot your mark and have succeeded only in completely blowing your credibility.
Dick Cheney -- a good and charitable man? I'm sure even you must agree that is taking it a bit too far:
"Cheney's shady charitable contributions net $2 million refund.

Last week, ***** Cheney released his 2005 tax return, and while this type of thing doesn't generally make waves in the news unless it is a Democrat who is releasing the return, there was something that jumped out at me which prompted me to do a bit of digging, where I found this snippet that led me to do a bit more digging.
Being the tax geek that I am, I noticed something that caught my eye as, shall we say, "interesting." Charitable contributions in excess of $6,800,000 on income of just under $9,000,000? For those who are not familiar with tax rules, let's just say that this is a very high -- an unusually high number.
While this is not illegal, by exploiting a loophole in the Katrina tax relief laws passed regarding charitable donations, Dead Eye Dick was able to obtain a refund of at least $1,000,000 MORE than he would be able to get in any other year.
The best part? None of the charities were Katrina related at all."

Some of your stuff is downright humorous...like:
"The most effective weapon in the right wing's arsenal is the technique of disseminating deceptive propaganda..."
Now, how do we do that, since 90% of the media is left wing, you know, like the one you quoted...
From Coulter:
1. Liberals still own 90% of the information dissemination in America, but are inconsolable over the death of Old Medias monolithic control These people used to become indignant when conservatives attacked the media. But now they wont shut up about the media and act as if the mere existence of Fox News has put them in the midst of a police state.
a. Conservatives have the Washington Times, the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, and Fox News Channel.
b. How, precisely, would a conservative go about eliminating liberal points of view from his life? You would have to be a survivalist in Idaho to escape the liberal sound chamber.
More?
2. The prospect of open debate with conservatives throws the mainstream media into a hissy fit that rivals an Alec Baldwin phone call to his daughter.
3. Arabs have one propaganda book, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Liberals have about forty thousand propaganda outlets. In fact, they increasingly resemble the Iraqi insurgents- desperate and violent because theyre frustrated that they are losing intellectually.
4. In case you arent able to read ACLU press release for yourself, the Associated Press and the New York Times will helpfully restate them for you as important, breaking news.
5. Liberals defend every manner of pornography and filth on grounds that its what the people want. The only material too prurient to let the public read is anything written by a conservative.
6. Have you seen Citizen Kane? You know, Kane marries the nightcub singer and then wants to make her a great opera singer. Because he controls all news in America, even though the audience is booing and throwing paper airplanes [at her], the headline on every newspaper is Susan Alexander Sweeps Chicago!
Thats what its like to be a liberal in America.
I just love Coulter...how about you?
