Falling for bullshit - again?

Okay, now I'm really pissed.

Sarah Palin finally comes down off of her pedestal and condescends to give an interview, she does terribly, the Republicans are screaming their heads off that the interview was too tough, and the media is peddling the meme that American women will consider it sexist.

And over on Daily Kos the most trafficed diaries are ones where people are tearing Obama apart because his ads aren't good enough.

We Democrats apparently love to lose. We let them put us in a box, we accept their rules which are absurd (you can't interview her because that's sexist; you can't criticize her because that's sexist; you can't criticize McCain because he was a POW and that gives him a get out of jail free card for the rest of his life; but you can attack Obama with subtle dog whistle racism and he can't cry foul because that's "playing the race card.")

We need to relentlessly and ruthlessly and viciously attack the Republicans because they are dirty, stinking, lying, murderers (they started the Iraq war didn't they?) and they deserve to be thrown out of office. They don't deserve to be anywhere near power - they say they put country first, but they put the American people last.

Are we really stupid enough to fall for their bullshit - again?
