I remember this story about when LBJ was running for office years ago and he was going up against a goat farmer. LBJ decided to accuse his opponent of carnal relationships with said goats. His campaign manager at the time said "sir you can't say something like that. Its a lie. Where is the evidence." LBJ responded, "I know, I know, but let's watch the sumadabitch stand up in public and have to deny it."
I am reminded of this little bit of obscene political manipulation today as I read articles such as this one where Blair confronts filthy anti-war hippies and media blaming him instead of the terrorists for the deaths of Londoners a week ago. " A growing number of voices link the London bomb attacks with Britain's role in the Iraq War."
