One quibble. Really a substantial disagreement. Idiots like her aren’t to blame for “all the confusion.” They’re to blame for some if it. But some elements of the right wing corporate media, and many government officials are also VERY MUCH to blame, too.
And give the original poster some slack. She may not know better, though it’s hard to imagine. But you absolutely know that the liars in the administration and the corporate media knew better, but lied fir the most base reasons. Not because of poor education and overwhelming stupidity.

The Rules
"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Never go outside the expertise of your people."
"Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
Faith in institutions was destroyed by the 60's counterculture movement.
So you get what we have here - and I don't like it anymore than you boys do.
