The GOP's cheerful viciousness

Yet again, the GOP launches brutal personality and cultural attacks on the Democratic candidate. Yet again, Democrats seem determined to allow it to do so.

    Cheerful, vicious trolls

    I think Arne has a point. It is entirely possible these Rove clones are paid to be here. Other ones of the same ilk certainly have overrun thenation.com and other sites. And these RWAs HATE Eugene Robinson at the Post. Gene gives them a verbal smackdown every so often. Same with Harold Meyerson.

    On topic, I take heart from the polls that Palin's perkiness and McCain's windy bluster are not converting non-GOP fans to the Republican camp. Fact free is still fact free, no matter how loudly one rants.
