In the mail today was a large envelope labeled 'Photo Inside - Do Not Bend'. I opened it, and found a large quantity of typically vile propoganda from Vernon Robinson's congressional campaign. I was just about to trash it, when I noticed a real gem: "Brad Miller's San Fransisco Soulmate", next to a picture of Markos, and above a long diatribe about how horrible it is that Rep. Miller blogs here.
A scan and some comments below the cut.
It is a very well-crafted piece of hate speech. My first reaction was amusement at lines like this:
"Markos publishes Brad Miller's diary on his Internet website (along with other things such as nude pornographic photographs of a male homosexual prostitute named Jim Guckert."
But then I remember that the average voter doesn't know who Guckert is. They can't read between the lines. They'd see no humor, there. As propoganda, this is quite an effective piece. This is one hell of a dirty campaign he's running.
And that scares me.
That scares me enough to finally make me get off my rear.
Rep. Miller, I'm putting in my application to volunteer for your campaign just as soon as I post this diary.
