McCain is not too bright, but sometimes manages to hide this fact. Sarah Palin is dumber than a bucket of hammers, and can't hide that fact no matter what she does.
When McCain realizes that he's lost, and that his *only* chance is to go "all negative all the time," he's too cowardly to do much of the negative smear- ing himself. Instead, he brings in Sarah Palin to sling the mud for him, because she's too dumb to realize that it IS mud, and that all she's spouting is desperate, angry, racist bullshit. Meanwhile, back here on FFL, we've got two posters whose only interest in this political campaign seems to be that it provides them a way to focus the anger that is the essential core of their lives onto someone they hate. In both cases, the person they hate is Obama, because he committed the unpar- donable sin of beating the pants off the candidate they had a crush on. *Ever since that happened*, both of these women have become essentially *unhinged*, crazy as loons. Even former supporters here of one of them have noticed and commented on it. But isn't it fascinating that these two angry harpies managed to work out a "tag-team" act that is *remarkably* like the McCain/ Palin tag-team act? Judy can barely hide the hatred she feels for Obama, but she manages to try, because she's so cowardly and afraid of damaging her supposed "credibility" here that she's afraid to come out and say what she really thinks. So she was ecstatic when Raunchydog -- dumber than a bucket of hammers herself, but just as driven by hatred of Obama as Judy is -- arrived on the scene. Now Judy can allow Raunchydog to "take the point" in their shared "go negative" campaign, and post the smears that Judy would otherwise have to post herself (and in fact, did post herself, before Raunchydog appeared on the scene to do it for her). Macrocosm/microcosm. As above, so below. On a national level, one candidate who has nothing but fear and ignorance to sell giving the everyday dirty work of smearing the people he wants to smear to his tag-team partner, because she's too stupid to realize that's what he's doing. If, after the election, anyone "takes the fall" and is remembered for being able to do nothing but spout lies and venom, it'll be stupid Sarah, not coward John McCain. On the FFL level, same thing. Note that the person who *poses* on this forum as the "defender" of those who have been wronged *hasn't said a word* to defend Obama against Raunchydog's dishonest smears, even though she knows that's what they are. Not a word. Why? Because she wants to be posting the same smears, but is too much of a coward to do it herself. And besides, she's got this dumb bitch of a sidekick to do it for her.
