Crooks and Liars comes through with an outstanding post!!

The Joys of Living in a Fantasyland

FANTASY # 1
Event: A CBS News poll shows Bush at an all-time low approval rating of 34%.
Response of Bush followers: The poll is biased, unfair, and therefore we can happily ignore the results.

FANTASY # 2
Event: Multiple other polls released in the next two days after the CBS poll also show Bush at or near all-time low approval ratings.
Response of Bush follower: All of the polls are biased and therefore we can happily ignore the results.

FANTASY # 3
Event: Sectarian violence reaches an all-time high in Iraq as all signs point to the beginning of a civil war.
Response of Bush followers: There are no real problems in Iraq. "Hysterical news coverage" of the violence was "exaggerated". Things are peaceful and great in Iraq. The whole "civil war" thing is just a fiction invented by the Bush-hating media.

FANTASY # 4
Event: Multiple polls show that a majority of the public opposes warrantless eavesdropping and believe the President broke the law by implementing the NSA eavesdropping program.
Response of Bush followers: From the always-fact-ignoring Bush follower John Hinderaker:

"How did the secret wiretapping program 'tarnish' the administration's 'tough-on-terror image'? It didn't. It enhanced it, and the public has solidly backed the administration's position" (emphasis added; no links provided by John for this claim).

Fantasy # 5
Event: A Zogby poll reported that even the U.S. troops in Iraq believe we should withdraw this year.
Response of Bush followers: The poll is biased, unfair, and therefore we can happily ignore the results.

It may not be the healthiest or most honest way to look at the world, but that really is how our country has been governed for the last 5 years, and counting.

It shows how they just disconnect from reality. The news is not really the news. O'Reilly is truth.

They truely do live in a Fantasyland.
