perfidy

Buckethead, my typo is duly noted, and my post on McCain now reflects his stance for the war. Apologies. I'm working on a long piece about the portrayal by the internet punditocracy (viz. The Emperor Misha in your post below) of the anti-war movement as uniformly stupid, and it's tainting the other things I write.

The best argument I can come up with on that front is, if I'm agin' it, and Windy City Mike is agin' it, does that mean that we too are puking, filthy, Stalinist, anti-Bush, ill-informed, blinkered, one-worlder, giant-puppet weilding, anti-Capitalists? Um.... I doubt it.

Granted, puke-ins, shit-ins, giant puppet heads, ANSWER, and the rest of the usual suspects cheapen the debate incredibly, but so do folks who suggest that, now that the war is on, that the unitarians, college students, and patriots in the anti-war crowd are somehow committing treason and providing aid and comfort to the enemy by exercising our right to dissent and (for some) gather peacably. More on this later.
