Set em' up, take em' down. Did you ask yourself why Obama, Biden, Axelrod, and leftists of all stripes appeared to side with the pro-Ann Romney camp? Did it make you stop and think? Or did you buy into the distraction?

Crazy headlines like "Obama Throws Hilary Rosen Under the Bus" make you wonder why he would do that to someone who visited the White House 35 times since he became president. It's because he isn't really throwing her under the bus; he's just saying he is.

Consider this excerpt from the poem "Child of Europe":

Let your lie be even more logical than the truth itself
So the weary travelers may find repose in the lie.

After the Day of the Lie gather in select circles
Shaking with laughter when our real deeds are mentioned.

Behind the distractions, the Left, socialists, communists, Marxists whatever you want to call them have been "pushing centralization and collectivism" (see AT's editor Thomas Lifson's blog post) of the government right under our noses through lies and propaganda.

Republicans wonder why Obama's buddies keep getting to set the narrative. The answer's obvious -- the Republicans keep taking the bait.

Throwing out chum to the chattering classes is right out of the Democrat consultant and Mao admirer Anita Dunn's strategy to sidetrack us from the destructive transformative policies this administration has put in place.

Dunn's name keeps popping up. She visits the White House regularly, and her PR firm SKDKnickerbocker was behind Sandra Fluke's media firestorm; now we find Hilary Rosen works at SKDK.

Let's recap the last three months just to get a handle on team Obama's modus operandi.

In January Obama media reporter George Stephanopolous throws out a line about whether birth control should be covered in Obamacare at the Republican debate. Three weeks later what has all the conservatives in a tizzy? Sandra Fluke and her ridiculous call for free birth control and how she was wronged by a congressional committee who wouldn't hear her case.

Non-stop media coverage ensued, but while everyone was looking at this nonsense, the administration continued to toil away 24/7 on creating and implementing socialist policies.

Next comes Trayvon Martin. His death came on February 26, but the chum throwers didn't place it in the news cycle until March 19. More non-stop media coverage; more underground workers making the overthrow of capitalism a goal within their reach.

Now that Trayvon's case has calmed down after the George Zimmerman arrest, enter stage right, Hilary Rosen, leftist media pundit. She makes an incendiary statement about Ann Romney "never working a day in her life," and all hell breaks loose.

Not only are conservatives attempting to compare the illogic of this woman's words with past remarks by feminists, but leftists are talking like they're so above the vitriol Rosen spewed.

As a result of the Rosen affair, we're all focused on antiquated mommy wars which were settled 50 years ago; nobody thinks stay at home moms don't work. But that doesn't matter. All that matters is conservatives just keep swallowing the Left's brain candy.

And the driven-to-distraction narrative goes on...and on. We don't have to jump every time Obama and his minions try to play us like fiddles.

The Hannitys, Becks and Limbaughs don't need to comment. Instead they should highlight the egregious policies being practiced in the health care industry right now. They need to hammer away about the bad economy; Obama's Achilles Heel. They need to instruct us on how centralization and collectivism happens on the street level.

They should point out how education reform is being spearheaded by Obama operatives (Anita Dunn pops up here as well; SKDK represents StudentsFirst and a mayoral candidate in NYC whom StudentsFirst is also backing) in conjunction with Republican sympathizers.

Wouldn't it be cool if the next time the Left entices us with some manufactured crisis, we just ignore it and continue on with exposing what's really going on?
