Dear George: "Unpleasant" does not equal "Dishonest"

[PurityOfEssence]

Obviously, the real problem is that Junior's mob fucked up and didn't use the 527 laws effectively. Well, conservatives don't adapt well, and their grassroots supporters are more followers than organizers.

Just because Junior's pissy because he's been accused of poisoning mommies (an absolutely legitimate point, and true) doesn't mean that this is equivalent with blatant lies about there not being any hostile gunfire in Kerry's Bronze Star incident.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best: "Everyone's entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts".

Not liking hooded Statues of Liberty or other characterizations is unfortunate, but lies are lies and facts are facts; once something is shown to be absolutely factually distorted, to not repudiate it is collusion. Boo-hoo if you fucked up on utilizing the 527s, and any that use lies should be called out, but Junior thinks that anyone with the disloyalty to oppose him deserves any filthy lie and illegal retaliation possible.

Then there's the law: if there's coordination between a 527 and a campaign, that's a crime. O'Neill is George W. Bush's brother-in-law's lawyer. Perry is a major contributor, longtime associate, and friend of Karl Rove. Ginsberg was a shared lawyer between the campaign and the Swifties. One of the "witnesses" was part of the official Bush Campaign. Time to subpoena some phone records.

I hope the little loser sticks to habit and stonewalls; it just makes him uglier and uglier. I'd prefer to win on the morality of caring for our people and being decent world citizens, but I'll settle for a victory based on revulsion at the hate-filled unscrupulousness of the most powerful nobody since Louis the Sixteenth.

1. They thought they woudn't need 527s

because of the mountains of hard cash on hand - thought they could "control" the campaign better that way. They do love control.

Now, if they could just get those pesky 527s out of the way, they would be back to their 4 to 1 money advantage.

Progressives have leveled the playing field and while Kerry doesn't have as much control, none of the 527 ads have gone over the edge on his behalf. Some close to it though.

Interesting (and predictable) none of the media have pointed out this fact.

2. The rule of law

means we rule; we're the law. How dare you guys try to rig the playing field we've spent so much of our Daddies' hard-inherited money to rig!
