Hitchens to GOP: don't try this shit again
I found it pretty easy to cast a vote that told the Republican Party, for which I recommended a vote last time, not to try any of this shit again. No more McCarthy tactics; no more stumblebum quitting of the campaign trail and attempting to pull out of the first presidential debate in order to wind up voting to save Lehman Bros.; no more driveling Christian fundamentalism; no more insinuation that only those silly enough to endorse them are "real Americans." No more sneers at San Francisco as if it weren't a real American city. McCain and his preposterous running mate will just have to believe in an afterlife in which they can live down the shame of what they attempted this year.

I do believe, MFT, that Mr. Hitchen's "The Horror, The Horror" at McCain's musty and milquetoast campaign was posted well before. I'm too lazy to track down who posted it, but someone here on FCP has just earned hissel' a nice VCP.
Yes, this has been posted and debated. At any rate, Hitchens is blowing smoke, and trying to peddle the pinko urban legend that somehow McCain's campaign was "dirty". Oh, c'mon, gimme a break. It was mushy and unfocussed and doomed, yes. But aggressive and dirty and unfair? Bs. Hitchens should stick to his single malt.
It doesn't matter if it was posted before: if MFT was out of internet range for a while and didn't see it, then it didn't exist in the first place.
I don't feel I'm out of line with this kind of logic, especially on this board.
