Aren't you glad I infiltrate Facebook groups so I can expose stories like this?
If you were waiting on the edge of your chair for undeniable proof that the Cincinnati Enquirer is in cahoots with the Tea Party, the suspense ended today.
I've been checking out the Facebook group for the local Road Atlas Brigade that posts banners on bridges demanding President Obama's impeachment. Although there were only 3 people at their Fort Thomas rally when I saw it, the Enquirer covered it extensively and tried making it sound like it was bigger than the Occupy events they've ignored. (One local resident reports having to call the police on the protesters because they were climbing on the fence and blocking traffic.) Today, this rather enlightening message from the event's local organizer was posted...
"The Kentucky Enquirer is forwarding me numbers/contacts of people who have inquired about our Overpasses!!! It just keeps gettin' better and better!!"
In other words - instead of acting like a real newspaper - the Enquirer is secretly aiding and abetting the Tea Party. What's amazing is that this individual is dumb enough to think I'm not keeping an eye on the Facebook page where she blurted out this info. Granted, that group shows less than 300 members - and most of them are either from out of town or haven't actually accepted the invitation to join - but it's hard to fly under my radar. I've built a paid career on keeping an eye on idiots like this. It's never made me rich or even middle-class, but it's O so satisfying to catch 'em red-handed.
To actually impeach Obama would hurt the Far Right's cause. The real significance of the impeachment plea is that it moves the window rightward for what the Really Serious People will accept. The Enquirer knows this, and that's why they're klandestinely (sic) promoting the Road Atlas Brigade.
Unfortunately for them, it's not "gettin' better and better", if you go by the new poll that shows a 16-point swing against the Republicans among older voters - who are the most Republican age group.
