    The Onion

    I have to agree with one of the fist posters. Surely this is sarcasm; surely no one with HALF a brain could find the insipid, hackneyed drivel that was Noonan's column to be anything other than hilarious...surely...

    Yes, I know I'm wrong. I know that these minds are what pass for intellectuals in the Right Wing Noise Machine. What could be sadder than that?

    I'm Canadian, but I honestly feel sorry for Americans right now. I feel like you are having your democratic process stolen from you. It truly WAS once a beacon around the world, but now everyone can see that the current culture of "fact-free truth" has spawned a government that does not seek to protect and nurture citizens so much as increase the wealth of a few giant conglomorates.

    They are trying to ensure that your voices aren't being heard, your opinions are worthless, and that you continue to vote against your own interests.

    Glenn has done a great job pointing out the hypocracy with which the Right has done these things, but it still boggles the mind.

    "I'm a regular Joe-Six-Pack NASCAR fan! Sure, I make millions of dollars and live on the Upper East Side, but I know what is best for you, fellow NASCAR dads!" GAWD.

    Please please please don't get distracted, and please vote for a Democrat this fall.
