Democracy Now today talks about Wesley Clark's war crimes in Serbia

i think that kerry has a chance to beat bush. i dont have an opinion on weather dean would or not.

Oh, I don't think you should run a positive campaign! I am explicitly NOT criticizing them for negative campaigning.

What I take serious issue with is what they chose to negatively campaign with. There are PLENTY of bad things about every candidate--including Dean--that are legitimate, and that you can and should bring up, even if people will accuse you of negative campaigning.

Making an issue of the flag comment isn't bad because it's negative...it's bad because it's a stupid non-issue that can nevertheless be viscerally damaging in the fight against George Bush.

The emphasis should have been more on clean instead of positive. It happened that way in my head anyhow. But in substance you're right, I'm just unable to get at all worked up about that in particular.

Mindspell is Americanized! That is, frightened--like Michael Moore detailed in Bowling for Columbine--and manipulated by that fear. Clark instill fear in the American people, telling everyone, in essence, "I know I'm a shitty candidate and a bad man. But I can beat Bush! Aren't you more afraid of Bush than me?! HE'S SCARY! BE AFRAID! VOTE FOR ME!"

I think Kerry can beat Bush. I think Dean maybe can, but it'll be harder.

Well, you don't have a visceral hatred of the South like I, a Yankee liberal elitist, do.

 

[FalseTodd]

"South puts off rising again for another year"

 

[FuSoYa]

I can't believe you hate Edwards so much because of the flag comment.

He's also an anti-liberal centrist combination of New Democrats and old Southern Democrats, the worst two wings of the party.

What the HELL are you talking about?

 

[xfer]

Haven't you seen Bowling for Columbine?

 

[mindspell]

Have seen it, still don't see your point.

Okay. So its central thesis was that the primary means of social control used in America today is fear, right?
