Above: The billionaires' millionaire propagandists who hate you. 
Barack Obama starts website to fight rightwing smears. The rightwing has found that Rovian smear tactics work...true or not. They don't want to talk about important issues like health care and the Iraq War. They don't want you to think about the fact that Repubicans just voted to stop an extension of unemployment benefits from 6 to 9 months and that they voted to stop a windfall tax on Big Oil and repeal taxpayer welfare for Big Oil. They don't want you to know that John McCain and the Repulicans consistenly vote against womens' rights.

● Leading hard-right conservatives, led by their talk radio "shock jock" troops, have been worrying aloud about the supposed return of the long-defunct Fairness Doctrine.
