I caught a link to this on Alternet a minute ago:
http://blogs.alternet.org/...

The "Digg Patriots"

Alternet:have just been caught red-handed in a widespread campaign of censorship, having multiple accounts, upvote padding, and deliberately trying to ban progressives. An undercover investigation has exposed this effort, which has been in action for more than one year.

This morning, a Facebook link presented me with a commentary piece from Phoenix' East Valley Tribune, alleging that Obama is showing signs of mental illness. The article is typical disgruntled RW nonsense, settling for any example that fits as support for its flimsy and angry assertions. So what if I picked the low-hanging fruit, I just got up and was having breakfast. Sue me.

Anyway, the original article is here:
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/...
Read it first, it's not long.

And my rebuttal begins here and continues after the jump. Enjoy, and feel free to pass it around.

MY REBUTTALS WILL BE IN ALL CAPS. I HOPE YOU DON'T FIND IT NARCISSISTIC OR CONCEITED!

A recent analysis by Roger Simon of PJTV Media maintains that Obama is showing signs of mental illness.
I WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE ARTICLE REFERENCED. I DID, HOWEVER, FIND ONE WRITTEN BY G.M. ROPER. I GUESS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WROTE IT IF IT TELLS YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, THOUGH.

A wide variety of commentators have observed that Obama displays severe narcissism. Obama is conceited, and he is demonstrating a serious disassociation from reality.
A WIDE VARIETY OF PEOPLE BELIEVE THIS ARTICLE IS FULL OF CRAP.

Poor Barack Obama can't do anything right.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/...
Read the transcript as this poor fool stumbles all over himself.

Barack Obama: "I, I, would say that, er ... pause [I HAVEN'T A CLUE] ... if you look at ... pause [WHO IS THIS NICK ROBINSON JERK?] ... the, the sources of this crisis ... pause [JUST KEEP GOING, BUDDY] ... the United States certainly has some accounting to do with respect to . . . pause [I'M IN WAY TOO DEEP HERE] ... a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system ... pause, close eyes [THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE A CROCK OF SHIT BACK HOME. HELP].

It is so immensely helpful of John Crace to channel BO's innermost thoughts from half a world away so that we can know what he's really thinking...

Keith, you cad, you turncoat, you fair-weather friend!
How could you fail me like this.
How could you fail ALL of us like this?
(...I DO in fact speak for the rest of DK and all leftys everywhere.. no, I wasn't elected. Quit causing trouble.)
Your failure to highlight my cause of the week has left me in ANGUISH.
You have ruined my life and through this omission, you have betrayed everything you have ever stood for or will hope to stand for.
I will never watch your show again (unless you make amends for this lapse, then you're #1 again).
Like Ramses banishing Moses, I will never utter your name again (unless you send me a handwritten apology - 10 pages, single spaced - and an autographed baseball card of YOU).

You have left me in ruins. I have dishes to do. I have to go to work Monday. I can't ... I just.. I can't live my life without you on my side, everywhere, all the time.

Keith... where were you when I needed you?
You despicable traitor. You're no better than Bill O'Reilly. You're dead to me.

"You", you who jumped on this poster for describing his experience wrestling with a moral issue.. you who rushed to judgement faster than a right-wing radio host.. you who put your personal ideology ahead of the facts.. You are an embarrassment to this website and community. You are not a liberal today.

I am appalled at the enthusiasm with which you trashed Elmar, slandered him and misrepresented his intentions.

The tags assigned to this diary are atrocious as well. "Epic fail".. "viagra not vigilantism".. You who tagged Elmar's diary with "my problem is i'm homicidal" are the worst kind of person to have among any organization. You placed more importance on the satisfaction you get from judging someone than you did on anything else such as THE FACTS and the diarist's stated intent. You are as contemptible as the losers who skulk on Redstate and LGF waiting for the next opportunity to attack someone.

Elmar, I have to say that you might have organized the facts in your diary a little more clearly and avoided the melodramatic title. It obviously attracted the anti-gun reactionaries (our side's unfortunate counterpart to the right-to-life zealots). I had to read it twice to get it all straightened out.. which is 1.5x more than the people I'm addressing...

Casual browsing of the 'nets led me to stumble over this bombshell.
It's one of those minor niggling points that escapes notice for far too long (inexcusably long), but once highlighted, makes you feel as if you were awakened by being dunked in a vat of ice-cold peppermint mouthwash. Yeah, one of those moments.

I don't know if we should blame profiteering defense contractors for providing our military with faulty equipment, or if our troops are not receiving their proper training, or if the insurgents have somehow developed some sophisticated new defensive armor, but I firmly believe that addressing this Achilles' heel will provide us with far more than a pair of rhetorical crutches..

What now?
I haven't been active in contacting my Representatives lately; I'm glad that Washington State has its hands clean regarding FISA but I admit that I can't take the credit.
But what now to do with your Representative? And what to do with all of these now-useless copies of 4A sitting around?

It's a tough question. I decided to pose it to dkos after reading this excellent diary condemning the bomb attack against Cheney while he was recently in Iraq. Substitute any philosophically opposed official if you like, it's all rhetorical anyway.

Posted in response to the good Major in a certain infamous diary..
I'm posting the entire rant plus below the fold because I just wrote it in one long stream-of-consciousness in one of That Diary's discussions..
Feel free to tag, and I hope that this is as enjoyable to read as it was to write...

"Our respect for human rights requires us to execute him..."

There's a lot there to jump on, once that ice-cream-headache reaction to outrageous bullshit recedes a little..

I could jump on the obvious paradox of how to respect human rights while violating them. What was it that was said during Vietnam? "We had to destroy the village to save it"? Bull-oney. Fighting for peace, fucking for virginity, honk if you love peace and quiet.

I could rant and excoriate al-Miliki and the usual gang of idiots for profaning the very concept of human rights, or I could launch a satisfyingly frustrating debate about the death penalty. Or..

"What I lack in political sophistication I make up for in moral clarity." - OPOL

"You're just as bad as George Bush, leading from The Gut!" - various respondents paraphrased

The worst OPOL is guilty of is Echo Chamberism.

We all "know wrong when we see it." No matter who you are, one thing is certain: Something, somewhere, is wrong and Something Must Be Done About It. It doesn't matter what's wrong, we all have the capability to learn about some event or condition and simultaneously judge it.

George Bush is one such person.
I am one such person.
OPOL is one, and so are you.
