  • I feel like I should collect videos of hypocrites contradicting themselves, and create a new web site...

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Working Title: <i>The Media Hypocrite</i>. The site would collect videos of politicians (and politicial motivators) saying one thing on tape, and then lying about it afterwards. I think video is the best medium to capture these events, because you can debate about quotes from newspapers all you want, but once a video clip is shown, the proof is definate and the opposition shuts up. There is no better way to prove the hypocritical nature of politicians than to show video proof of their actions.

Stop me if somebody already has this idea, though I would be surprised if I haven't seen this one. I feel that it's important to have an archive of this kind of information. Sure, we see clips of these happening on The Daily Show, or floating out on the Internet, but it's all short-lived and not at one place. We have a short-term memory, and we need reminders of the sheer quantity of evidence against them.</div>
