The Anti-McCain Propaganda Is Already Starting

One of the nice things about having a blog is that you don't have to follow the "politeness" rules that constrain mainstream journalists. Which is how I can say those dicks at Moveon.org are already at it.

I'm on MoveOn's little listy-list and I got the first of what I'm sure will be many anti-McCain smears. It's no surprise. These schmendricks know how Americans will react when they see a substantive, seasoned, mainstream American leader standing next to a junior legislator whose achievements seem limited to attending radical anti-American religious exhortations. You can almost hear the talking points getting ticked off: on Fox, Kerry made them a little too obvious ("Nomination McCain" vs "Senator McCain" - sounds like action figures).

McCain is not the radical here; McCain is not the guy who's listening to whacked-out religious leaders. Maybe the fact that a big old atheist like myself is a rabid McCain supporter should be a hint?
