Framing

Even if I sympathize with those who are most upset about Timmy G. and the Banksters, I strongly disapprove of the way this is being framed across much of the left Netroots as some kind of analogue to the blatancy of the WMD lies or comparable Bush Administration in(s)anities, and I disapprove even more strongly the way all this framing feeds discourse that looks to me to whomp up generalized cynicism and disgust rather than rally progressives to the support of Democrats, very much including Obama, trying to do difficult good things we want.
