The whole world is watching

The end of the Democratic convention left me profoundly depressed about the prospects for November. If you want a bunch of people to wear silly hats and cheer for losers, then the Democrats are your go to guys. But if you want fighters, look elsewhere.

It's shaping up to be a re-run of 2004, with the Democrats turning the other cheek while the Republican attack dogs run wild. The swiftboat smears hit home against Kerry because he was so manifestly gutless. Regardless of his exemplary war record he looked and acted like a coward. And got beaten by a drunken draft dodger.

If the Democrats don't want to be cheering another loser come November they need to be breaking out the rhetorical napalm. Why haven't we seen the internet rumours linking Corsi to White Pride; asking Schmidt to deny he's a Klansman, or portraying Coulter as she-wolf of the SS.
