Vent, please to ignore (but the link is good)
Keith Olbermann's been on fire lately, such as with this video about the Bill of Right s . (Link from jwz)
This is great, but often I feel that things like this are futile, that blues who watch it just say "har har you tell em", while reds will just shriek "TRAITOROUS SCUM! GOEBBELS!" until the bad man stops talking, at which point they will jack off furiously into the LGF message boards or wherever those people go.
Is there a land in between with people who can be swayed by these messages? Or are the only things that can move mythical middle america high gas prices and hot man-on-boy sex scandals? Granted, I think both of these are relevant in that they're among the most drop-dead obvious indicators that the government is being run not just by warmongering hypocrites but incompetent warmongering hypocrites.
I feel right in saying that Bzuh, where are all these insurgents coming from and Bwuh, what do you mean you can log instant messages come from the same root worldview.
Anyway, things like the Olbermann stuff serves more purposes than convincing the undecided. But every time I see another ingenious argument my first thoughts are along the lines of "now they'll know how it really is," and then my second thoughts are "yeah, right".
