Via TPM's Zachary Roth, here's a story about how Adam Serwer, a writer for The American Prospect and his own blog, Too Sense, (update: Adam writes exlusively for The American Prospect these days) won a dispute with National Review's Jim Geraghty without ever lifting a finger.
We start with step 1, in which Adam Serwer blasts Jim Geraghty:
It looks like Joe the Plumber, the Republican Party's new mascot, had he registered recently, could have been disenfranchised by the very error-prone databases the GOP has been championing to prevent the virtually non-existent problem of voter fraud.
...Jim Geraghty, meanwhile, concludes there's "no reason for paranoia" surrounding error-prone voter databases. ... While it's been proven time and time again that people have been purged erroneously from voter rolls, there isn't a single instance of organized voter fraud that Geraghty can actually point to, despite being up in arms about it. That's "paranoia".
Now it's on to step 2, and Jim Geraghty fires back:
Now, unless A. Serwer thinks that there is actually a registered voter named "Duran Duran" in New Mexico, he ought to refrain from sputtering that those who disagree with him are 'racist' and 'paranoid.'
The person who is "Duran Duran" almost certainly voted under their real name, and thus got two votes in the primary. God knows how many of those 27 others exist; for all we know, one person might have cast all of them. Anybody who voted once had their vote diluted by the guy who cheated to vote two to twenty-seven times.
And we wrap things up in step 3 as Jim Geraghty admits defeat:
UPDATE: I am floored by the fact that the white pages for Albuquereque, New Mexico has a listing for "Duran Duran." Mea culpa.
Now, if we could only get Geraghty to admit that he's wrong about all the other garbage that he spews...
