Regarding Glen Greenwald's Great American Hypocrites, I admit it, this is me alright...
"most have dodged military duty, have strings of broken marriages and affairs, and live decadent, elitist lives, which they so ruthlessly condemn Democrats for doing."
Well, only one broken marriage, actually, but I did dodge the draft (sort of) and I am surely decadent (love those Culver's malts) and elitist (I am reading three books at once now, ain't that somethin'?). But if we Republicans are to be condemned for leading "decadent, elitist lives" now, does this mean this anti-Republican agrees with us that these are not good things? Or is he praising us, as in "hypocrisy is the complement vice pays to virtue"?
Seriously, what does any of this have to do with anything? I love it that this blurb, after spewing out the usual litany of ad hominem attacks on GOPers, tells us it's the GOP that is letting its "time-tested marketing ploy spin itself silly while avoiding debate on real issues." What issues does the blurb ask us not to avoid? I must have missed those.
This GOP attack machine line of attack lately has taken on truly preposterous dimensions, given that the anti-Hillary left has employed all the "time-tested" invective against the Clintons that the Republicans ever manufactured, plus a LOT more and a LOT worse invective all of its own making. Or am I missing something, and it is actually true that the "right-wing propaganda machine" (god I wish there were one) really does exist and really has taken over Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Moveon.org and all the other actual and really existing expletive manufacturing hate machines?
