Following in the footsteps of the 2008 Huckabee campaign, Rick Santorum has a “secret army” of homeschoolers.  Well, it’s not really a secret.  The real question is: how many more times can the same article be written?

    It seems to me that the only possible reason for using the word “secret” in the headline of the WaPo article is to scare people. None of the politically active people make a secret of their activity, or of the fact that the homeschool. Santorum does not fly out in the dead of night in a black helicopter to address homeschool-friendly groups. He’s hardly kept his own family’s practice of homeschooling on the down-low. It is all very public — it is just another constituency that feels affinity to the Santorum campaign. Why on earth the need for the scary adjective?

    It’s time to stop calling these people journalists, and name them for what they really are; propagandists.
