Eye on Winer

Dear Dave,
Get real. I suspect that there isn’t a single Republican on the planet who gives so much as half a damn what you think. For starters, this paragraph is pretty blatant ass-kissing:

I know some of you are honorable people, good Americans, taxpayers, people who love your families, pay your taxes, do your best to live by the Golden Rule. People who try to do the right thing, whatever that is. It’s to those Republicans that I wish to have a few words.

After all of the screeds we’ve read about your disdan for Republicans, how they’re stupid and evil, to then turn around and try to butter them up is just absurd. If you believe what you wrote, you owe those Honorable Republicans a gigantic apology for the way you’ve maligned them for simply having a (R) next to their names in the past. I suspect, though, that you don’t mean it, and that’s fine, because someone has to off-set the crazy Republican partisans, and that job falls to crazy Democratic partisans.

Now, as to the substance of your open letter to Santa Claus Honorable Republicans…

Honorable Republicans do not believe everything that comes out of Palin’s mouth. Those that do are not going to be found with 100 miles of your blog and, if they did happen across it, would dismiss you as a radical leftist anyhow.

As to whether or not McCain is “safe from Democratic counter-attacks”, please do not insult the intelligence of your readers. Your blog is one giant “Democratic counter-attack”, as is the rest of the leftist blogosphere. This to say nothing of the pathetic “OMG McCain can’t send email” ad. This is politics… the left is giving as good as it’s getting here.

Feigning impartiality isn’t going to impress anyone. You might not be a member of the Democratic party, but you sure do make a great lap dog for them. We’ve covered that in depth here. Pretending as though yours is a vote that could be won is also silly. Nobody believes it. Go back and read your own blog, you probably won’t believe it either if you’re being honest with yourself.

I only have one more thing worth thinking about, Dave:

Deliberately misleading like this is bad politics.

Does this extend to Obama’s hyper-exaggeration of his role in the Illinois legislature? Or like Biden’s two cases of admitted plagiarism? Or the whole infanticide issue?

Lying an politics isn’t a good thing, but let’s not pretend like Obama’s a saint. He and Biden are every bit the politicians that McCain and Palin are.
