RATM’s rally a year ago was a showcase of extraordinary passion, eloquence and patriotism. Yesterday, while on the Rage Against the Media segment of Talking Treason with Kender & Kilgore (“Conservative Talk Radio uncensored and raw with a dash of sarcasm and a dollop of snark, weekdays 10AM to noon Pacific”) I was reminded of our “Poet Laureate” Kender MacGowan’s heartfelt poem, Rabid Audacity.
RABID AUDACITY
The media dogs the truth, chasing it down and running it up a tree
Until it falls, exhausted and is set upon and shredded
By lies.
Half truths.
Prevarications.
And while the truth lies bleeding at the bottom of a shallow grave in the woods
The journalists,
Talking heads,
And pundits,
Take what little is left–
They sift it, spin it, twist it and run it through a centrifuge
Then cover it liberally with talking points, deflections and straw men
Ad hominem attacks flow like champagne at an Obama fund raising dinner
While the smell of thousand-dollar colognes
And four thousand dollar perfumes adorning those in power
Overwhelm the stench of the utter bullshit that the media
Hands us on a plate and calls gourmet vittles
~
Does that sum it up, or what!
