GOOGLE THIS
A politician will always tip off his true belief by stating the opposite at the beginning of the sentence. For maximum comprehension, do not start listening until the first clause is concluded. Begin instead at the word "but" which begins the second, or active, clause. This is the way to tell a liberal from a conservative -- before they tell you.
Thus: "I have always believed in a strong national defense, second to none, but ... " (a liberal, about to propose a $20 billion defense cut)

An adjunct corollary to Mankiewicz's meme is  Democrats will almost always accuse Republicans of that which they themselves are doing, and when caught will heap ridicule on the evidence.  A little bit of all this can be found in Gawker's The Right-Wing Nut’s Guide to Egypt.  This attempt at sarcastic put-down actually provides a pretty good road map to what's going on.

  • Bill Ayers taught the Muslim Brotherhood how to protest
  • President Obama secretly facilitated and/or encouraged an Islamist takeover of Egypt
    • Players: President Obama, nonspecific Islamists
  • Escalating anarchy in Egypt is merely a prelude to revolt in the streets in the U.S.
    • Players: President Obama's obvious authoritarianism, the people, guns, Facebook
      • (No mention of Code Pink's history of rabble rousing; George Soros not mentioned at all)
  • The Egyptian revolution will result in a dictatorship
    • Players: The secret Egyptian desire for despotism, the inexorable march of history
      • (no mention of Muslim Brotherhood)
  • The Muslim Brotherhood is attempting to enact Sharia law in the United States
    • Players: The Muslim Brotherhood, "front organizations," Homeland Security Adviser John Brennan, Allah
      • (Ain't that too cute?)
One of the things Gawker misses (along with George Soros)  is Google's involvement, very important now that "Activist's tears may be game changer in Egypt." That "activist" is Wael Ghonim, Google’s head of marketing for the Middle East, and who flew into Egypt to join the opposition to Mubarak.  Ghonim is now reported to be the “spokesman” for the opposition. Ahem.

Remember when the Washington Post became "the newspaper that brought down a President"?

Google wants to be the company that brought down a government. They see a story where the internet brings freedom and democracy to Egypt, and Google is right in the middle of it.

If the Egyptian debacle continues according to plan, at some point the islamists will determine Wael Ghonim is no longer useful, just an idiot, brand Ghonad a filthy capitalist and hand him his head.
Even if he escapes that end, if he stays past the end of the Uhbama regime, he won't be allowed back in the US, which would be fine by me. We've got to at least shine a light on the enemy within, and preferably, disable them.
