It begins by asking viewers if they are <em>&#8220;tired of politicians?&#8221;<\/em> Behind this narration is a picture of Bishop, Obama and Ford. Demos has an peculiar definition of politicians in that it includes substance abusers in Canada, but not himself, even though he is running for political office.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s the juxtaposition of the repulsive Rob Ford with Obama and Bishop, who have nothing in common with him, that is such a heinous act of character assassination. Demos might have been a little closer to the mark had he used a picture of freshman Tea Party Republican Trey Radel of Florida, who was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=10924\" target=\"_blank\">recently arrested<\/a> for cocaine possession.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly Demos is more interested in slandering his enemies than in being honest or ethical. His behavior reeks of the bitter, tired politics he pretends to denounce. In that respect, he makes a perfect Fox News-style candidate who projects his own flaws onto his opponents. Although Fox has gone even further to mastering the tactic of labeling Republican miscreants as Democrats.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/..\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-dem-label.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10925\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There really is no bottom to the well of indecency that Republicans dig for themselves.
