Check out the RNC's reality-based website

OK, I was being snarky; but unlike Ken Mehlman, at least I was doing it up front, instead of putting a tiny little disclaimer at the bottom, like this RNC site:
America Weakly
America Weakly is a satirical publication containing fictional news stories of a fictitious future.
Unless otherwise specified, the content of this publication should not be viewed as a depiction of actual events.
What a terrific use of Republican campaign money.
The inflammatory articles on the site are clearly intended to muddy the web waters with so little time left in the election. Ken is undoubtedly hoping for some of the bogus articles to get viral quickly in the hopes that some people will take it at face value.
Just like a Republican to turn a good idea like the Onion and manipulate it for last-minute sleaze.
The best (or scariest) part is how I found out about it. NH State Republican Party chair Wayne Semprini (who is facing a disastrous loss for his state party, which is near bankrupt from the phone jamming scandal legal fees) was praising the site's new online ad, where scary pro-tax democrats pull dollar bills from the hands of babies being born. No, I'm not kidding.
