At What Point Does This Become Unacceptable

I see this, and many of us who make the netroots our news home see this on a nearly daily basis across the nation. I am deeply troubled each time I hear it, and say a prayer for the soldier and his/her families. I've cried watching the roll call on Nightline. And the 10 second blurbs on the local news when a soldier, resident of a community in Ohio makes the first few headlines. I realize I am not doing enough. I am outraged, but as yet, am not doing enough.

And yet, I think I am worlds ahead of a good chunk of the population who are immune to this view, and wonder what will it take for the realization of what is happening to sink into the consciousness of the population at large. Is there such an immunity, or aversion to seeing the truth, or stark revulsion of the truth that they simply are not willing to acknowledge this reality? When does the tipping point come that we believe we've had enough?

We all know it's there, but to actually see the rough draft of the arrogance of the their efforts is quite astounding. You just have to hope that there will continue to be a stream of this stuff coming as a result of the president's poll numbers continue to drop through the floor.

The question that I keep pondering is that will there be a tipping point in the MSM where the those in positions of authority realize that the majority of Americans are not comfortable with the bullshit they are being served. In essence, wil there be a time when they say, for economic reasons, they decide that it simply does not make sense to kow-tow the administration's line.

Evidently, it isn't happening any time soon. Hearing David Broder cite Walter Pincus' article on the front page of the Post this morning as an indication that the MSM is, and has been doing there job bordered on the absurd. We will just have to wait and see whether in fact it will happen, but the trending is working in our favor.
