[Overpaid Slacker]

Best Thread Title This Week.

Take a deep breath, k. Just reflect on the hyperbole used every time someone takes a shot at W, "Nazi" is a favorite. "Oil for Blood" is another bumper sticker, teenager logic staple. W is certainly not perfect, and he's screwed up his share of stuff ... but the unprecedented granularity and severity with which he is reviewed alone should tell you your sources are not telling you everything (read: what they don't want you to hear).

Just relax for a second and survey the various deceits and flagrant mischaracterizations that have been presented about W, and that you and many millions of others have fallen for, willfully or otherwise. National Guard, Joe Wilson/Uranium, "Imminent Threat", Richard Clarke, "9/11 Panel finds NO Iraq-al Qaeda link" -- etc. You're being duped, plain and simple ... and we're more upset on your behalf than you are, it seems.

The Strombergs are a direct response to the major information conduits -- the severity and rank partisanism of our information sources provoke equally dramatic (though not nearly as broadly communicated) responses.

Casting a spite vote is not noble, but there's very little that's noble about Kerry to encourage a principled vote "for" him, so I guess I understand.
