How can a lie be useful?
05-Jan-10
[I]f Obama’s online movement was fueled by a myth … then why bemoan its loss or puzzle over reactivating it?
I assume [Sifry’s] answer is that a “useful myth” (a term he uses) that results in such mass participation and enthusiasm is worth maintaining or salvaging. It is.
No long term good can come from a movement based on a lie, even if you call the lie a myth.
