In Seattle's bleeding-edge alternative weekly, The Stranger, liberal pundit Neal Pollack vents his spleen at fellow Dems for not playing tuff enuf against Bush-ite manipulators capitalizing on the dismaying stupidity of the American electorate.
A note to the leadership of the Democratic Party: Wake the f*** up, you pathetic wuss-bags! They're kicking your ass!
Pollack is worried. Seems his wife's friend's aunt heard a snarky GOP rumor that:
....John Kerry killed babies and raped women in Vietnam.
Outstanding use of sources, Neal! There goes that venal Karl Rove, once again!
Alternatively....great post-ironic bogus simile, Neal, exposing (in an unnervingly sophisticated manner perhaps not immediately clear to lumpenprole conservatives) the vicious extremes of the brutal Republican Lie Machine!
Pollack's call to arms goes on:
Americans may well be 'good, hard-working people,' as the Democrats claim, but they're also 'easily manipulated farm animals.' Democrats! In the name of God, attack! Here's what you need to say: Thousands of people are dead because of Bush! Bush is a traitor to America! And so are his supporters!Attack! Attack! Attack!
....Attack! Get dirty! Dick Cheney (obscene sexual reference) in hell!
Senator Kerry, you are all that stands between us and the (?) theocratic fascism. I don't care if it diminishes you. You have to stoop to their level. You HAVE to f****** win. You HAVE to. Do you understand? Attack!
Attack!
Attack!
ATTACK!
Yes. Please. Put this guy in charge of the anti-Bush "attack" message.

Given the level of invective from the Kerry camp and his band of brothers, er supporters; Mikey Moore with his peaceful kite flying pre-liberation Iraqi's and deserter claims, Move-on.org and the Hilter references, Hillary Clinton and her paper she brandished in the well of the Senate asking what Bush knew about 9/11, Former Senator John Glenn trouting out the Hitler analogy, the endless CBS hit pieces of descredited witnesses trashing Bush (Joe Wilson et al) and their latest this week with Barnes and it now appears phony documents, the efforts of ABC, NBC, CBS to avoid the Swifties story until forced to only after Kerry responded, the endless focus on Bush's National Guard Service through nunerous news cycles without any similar focus on John Kerry and his refusal to release his military records, the confession of the print press by one of it's own that they intend to portray Kerry and Edwards as youthful and positive and this effort should be good for at least 15 points of the vote totals, James Carville suggesting Zell Miller was druged by the Republicians............. and the other endless examples. The Stranger has gotten it's wish.
Other than the use of the f word (the Democratic underground excepted), this has been going on for the entire election cycle. Isn't he paying attention?

How do these people actually make it into adulthood believing that kind of aberrant dogma?
Posted by: Mike Christianson at September 10, 2004 01:25 PMYou mean there's something in The Stranger besides concert listings and ads for whores with big asses?
Who knew?
Posted by: Ken J at September 10, 2004 01:48 PMThis isn't new to me; the left has always demonstrated a Neal Pollack like contempt for the voter. If one truly feels that the ordinary American can't intelligently choose between a smear and the real truth, one is inherently anti-democratic. Please note the small d!
That old timey Republican A. Lincoln had an aphorism about "fooling the people." If you really believe that the American electorate is made up of malleable fools, you are on the side of the jihadists, plain and simple.
