They'll spend all day talking about the latest outrageous statement by Rush Limbaugh or Michele Bachman instead of focusing on the vast unelected government that actually runs the country. Even back in the 60s, many "liberals" apparently didn't want to see the enormous power wielded by people like Dulles, Hoover, LeMay and others. It upsets their tidy little world view.
A few months ago, Chris Matthews got into an argument with Cynthia Tucker when she brought up the CIA plots to kill Castro. There was no mention of the Mafia at all, but Chris didn't even want to admit that the CIA had tried to kill Castro. "Oh, I think they were trying to make his beard fall out, but they weren't trying to kill him." Now, if they'll lie about established history, documented by Congressional committees, what won't they lie about to preserve their world view?
Just getting back to you on this. I agree that most of the so-called "Left" on line is nothing other than a front for the Democratic Party. But there are some organizations which consistently criticize the Obama regime, emit petitions in favor of rescinding his Peace Prize or in favor of Manning or Snowden, against drones, surveillance, the Keystone Pipeline, the Pacific trade agreement, assassination programs, whistleblower prosecution, lack of Wall Street Prosecution, austerity and the grand bargain, etc. etc. Nevertheless, what you say about their reluctance to take on the idea of a secret government holds true. They fear even a whisper of this, as if that would entirely undermine their credibility. "Sane" people don't believe in that stuff.
