		<description>Thanks.

As synchronicity would have it, saw a similar description posted by the host on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.malibulist.com/mt/mt-commentsantispam.cgi?entry_id=6528&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;another blog site&lt;/a&gt; shortly later:&lt;blockquote&gt;To me the difference appears to be that those on the left shake their heads and wonder how people can be so benighted. Whereas those on the right already &quot;know&quot; the reasons why those on the left disagree. It&#039;s because we&#039;re unAmerican and Godless.

I&#039;ll take questioning what could motivate people over claiming to know, and in the most negative and divisive way possible, any day.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>JT: &lt;i&gt;Conservatives think liberals are stupid.

Liberals think conservatives are evil.&lt;/i&gt;

Which doesn&#039;t speak to highly of either side (as long as we&#039;re dealing in generalities).  But,

&lt;i&gt;Conservatives think liberals are stupid&lt;/i&gt; because liberals don&#039;t agree with them; they dislike liberal &lt;b&gt;ideas&lt;/b&gt;.

&lt;i&gt;Liberals think conservatives are evil&lt;/i&gt; because of what conservatives have done; they dislike conservative &lt;b&gt;acts&lt;/b&gt;.

Many of the ideas/principles spouted by conservatives aren&#039;t that bad, actually.  It&#039;s that conservatives rarely actually behave conservatively.</description>

		<description>Yeah, well, I get urgent fund appeals from McCain. Now that ought to be illegal!

[Calm down, trolls, it&#039;s a joke.]

A form-letter appeal for funds really should not go to the ambassador, but then a letter ought also not to go to me, because that financially pinched campaign can&#039;t afford such a waste. Dumb. That explains a lot. 

Pending more specific (and checkable) information, the letter to the ambassador interests me about as much as one spurious Mickey Mouse registration in the mass of work ACORN is doing.

This could be fun, though: McCain&#039;s campaign sending a funds appeal to Mickey Mouse.</description>

		<description>JT: &lt;i&gt;The first law of spreading lies: make the lie at least plausible.&lt;/i&gt;

... to your intended audience.

And when aiming at the base of the Republican party, well, those folks will believe just about anything just because you tell it to them.</description>

		<description>On the other hand, Obama collecting $31,000 from a couple Palestinian brothers in the Gaza Strip is entirely plausible... and documented.

		<description>This doesn&#039;t pass the smell test. 

McCain is an old cold warrior, and has been one of Putin&#039;s harshest critics. He rebuked Bush by saying that he looked into Putin&#039;s eyes, too, and saw not his soul, but three letters -- &quot;KGB.&quot; And when Russia invaded Georgia, McCain reacted most strenuously, even saying that &quot;we are all Georgians now.&quot;

The first law of spreading lies: make the lie at least plausible.

This is about as likely as Obama collecting the endorsement of Operation Rescue. And I like the comparison with the bogus Michelle Obama interview.

		<description>makes me remember Lady de Forest Rothschild and her outspoked support of McCain....   

Looks like McCain is pretty up-front about his chasing illegal dollars for his campaign.  Just ignore the words, and watch the action, since they&#039;re not hiding it....

I knew the Rethugs were owned in fee simple by foreign interests, and Corporate America (lumping the lobbyists in here), but the constant reminders are getting tiresome...</description>

		<description>Politico has the letter on their site. It&#039;s just a standard form letter asking for donations of $35 and up, which probably went out to a gazillion people.</description>
