Calling things what they are
Barack Obama had the right approach to Fox. They spread the false rumor that he attended a "Madrassa," so he refused Fox any access, and would not appear on any Fox program. For some reason he backed off on this stance, and now appears on Fox Sunday, or whatever they call their Sunday morning show.
As far as Rove is concerned, his "genius" aura is entirely a myth. His talent is for criminality: voter disenfranchisement, campaign trickery, vote theft, fake campaigning, and staged accusations of opponents. This is not genius. It is sociopathy.
As evidenced by Obama's easy handling of McCain today, we will have a historic first as president. As we progress towards the election, McCain's post-traumatic stress from his prisoner of war and Forrestal days will become apparent. He has referred to Vietnamese as "gooks," and has joked about bombing "Iran." He's an intellectual lightweight, and Obama will eviscerate him in debates.
Only a desperate act by the "Republicans" will stop Obama, and I'm sure the thought has crossed their minds. What people using the Web have to start doing is referring to the "Republicans" for what they are: criminals. Raw, psychopathic, completely unscrupulous gangsters, intoxicated on doing the forbidden, the antisocial. This is no exaggeration, not a rhetorical flourish. These are bad people. As long as "liberals" insist on arguments on principle, the fakery and malice of the "Republicans" will have the advantage. Call them what they are and you begin the long path of taking away their power.
