Wow! Y’all are mean today! Is it simply TOO MUCH to ask if we could try criticizing Ms. Leary based on her — uh — not focus on her physical appear… er — hell, fuck it. She’s hideous.

BULLSEYE! We have a winnah! Get the little lady a Kewpie-Doll!

Some of these folks really do look like they think, don’t they?

Then look at the McCains. There are just 4 emails listed. Only 1 is critical, and it is marked as “undetermined.” The other 3 are true (although they sometimes only tell half of the story).

So out of 22 emails with verifiable claims about the Obamas, 20 are either partially or completely untrue.

If you didn’t know anything else about the two political parties in this country this alone should tell you which group depends on lies, smears, and hate. Even a Backyard Conservative should be able to figure that out…

Of course, by pointing out that some stupid people are black I am in no way possibly implying that this holds true for all stupid people or all black people or anything of the sort. I’m just talking about the intersection of the two sets. Call me an elitist — I am an elitist — and it’s probably un-PC to say this, but the low-information voter is I think the biggest obstacle to a working democracy, and this was recognized by the Founders, who implemented the Electoral College to ensure that such low-information voters wouldn’t get to be the deciders, since they’ll probably decide for the wrong reasons. And yet, they hold the balance of our political system, and I think they hold it mostly to the right, so if we can convince liberals to vote more often and convince these low-information voters to do what we tell them instead of what they tell them, we’ll be in business.

And say what you will about Obama’s merits, these low-information voters don’t really know anything about them. Since usually these low-information voters are biased toward the Republican (since the Republicans say dumb things that make them seem “tough”, etc.), we’re a leg up now that some of those low-information voters can play identity politics. To say that this entire election is about identity politics would be entirely incorrect, of course, but I do think that the battle for the low-information voters depends on it, which is why the nonstupid Republicans really would like to push the Muslim and anti-Patriot rumors at them. Any informed voter can see past it easily.

This blog is a product of over 25 years of biting my tongue…

Shoulda seen an orthodontist.

Well, I don’t know – let’s go to the tape:
Obama smears on McCain – can’t think of one, but I’m sure gin soaked Anne’ll come up with one.
McCain smears on Obama – Hamas candidate.

So I’ll have to go with the GOP guy, barring new evidence.

Oh wait, you’re talking about campaign staff and surrogates, after all you linked a story about where Wesley Clark answered a direct question honestly and correctly. But what of the question about Obama’s Muslimosity – answer here. Or flag-pin-gate or certificate-of-live-birth-gate or Larry-Johnson-is-full-of-shit-gate?

But let’s talk about McCain’s time in a POW camp. That prepares to be Commander-in-Chief how? Because he’s going to piss off so much of the world, he may well end uo being captured again? Anyways, kinda funny how McCain’s point-man to defend himself from these “swift-boat” attacks is none other than Swift Boat Veteran for Lying About John Kerry Bud Day himself.

So who is smearing whom?
At the risk of repeating myself, barring new evidence, I’ll have to go with the GOP guy.

Noooooooooooooooo.

Don’t let Reverend Henry Kane John McSame in!

To quote our esteemed hosts here “Sadly, No!”

And maybe this conclusion has nothing to do with a secret plan to blow up my own country, to allow it’s government to be overthrown, or, in spite of my oft-stated somewhat militant atheism, to allow Islamic clerics to take over my country and administer a system of Shari’a justice, but rather my sincere belief that perhaps the path the bush/cheney administration has us on is unsustainable and destructive to america’s wealth, stature and values and I’d like to see us follow a different path.

No?

Pretty much not possible?

Oh. Never mind then….

sophisticated satire–which is total trash

There. Obviously she thinks sophisticated satire is total trash.

Or maybe…you guys say what Barack Obama wants you to say.

Yes, but the computer chip Obama’s minions implanted in my brain leaves me no choice.

Sure. One side says one and one is zero, the other says it’s two. Why can’t we all sensibly agree one + one = one?

I love these elections. They bring out how close minded both sides are…
