MORE BETTER CONTRADICTIONS! :-)

(Via Atrios)

Glenn Greenwald points out the "heads I win, tails you lose" strategery of the Noise Machine. I think I first came across this on one of the talking head shows when a GOP pol said something like Osama being caught would be bad for Kerry and Osama being free would be good for Fredo.
I'll try to find a link to this but here's some Glenn:

So, to re-cap the rules: (1) When a pro-war politician gives a pro-war speech as part of a graduation ceremony, and students in the audience heckle and boo him, that shows how Deranged the Angry Left is -- because they heckled a pro-war speech. (2) When an anti-war politician gives an anti-war speech as part of a graduation ceremony, and students in the audience heckle, walk out and even riot, that also shows how Angry the Left is -- because they "provoked a near riot" by pro-war students.

Virtually on the same day, Bush followers are arguing that the Left is deranged and angry because: (a) they boo Republican commencement speakers and because (b) they cause Republican students to boo them and riot at commencement ceremonies.
