I'd like to ask your help in clearing away some of the b.s. that forms the basis of John McCain's candidacy. As pretty much everyone here knows, McCain's candidacy is built on a web of systematic distortion and deceit, woven over many years with the help of a fawning, all-too complicit mainstream media. What scares the hell out of me, though, is that millions of American voters don't know that much of what they've been sold regarding John McCain is b.s.
Will you help do something about that? It'll cost you about 10 minutes.
I've spent the last month or so working up a single, concise web page (with appropriate ancillary materials) that digs into the b.s. foundations (i.e., "maverick," "straight talker," etc.) on which McCain's candidacy rests. While keeping things as brief and digestible as possible, I've tried to embed lots of links to the highest quality, most credible source material available online.
I'm also featuring prominently and promoting the three currently popular books dealing with McCain's b.s. Authors Matt Welch, David Brock, Paul Waldman and Cliff Schecter have the goods on McCain; I hope their books reach the widest audience possible -- ASAP -- and that the authors start showing up far more regularly on MSNBC, CNN, etc.
Please look over the page -- the URL of which is http://mccainbs.com/... If you think it's a useful antidote to some of McCain's b.s., please email a link to those you know who might be receptive -- particularly those who are not rabidly political. As always, it will be those who are only lukewarm about politics -- the "undecideds" -- who will decide the election. Ask those whom you email to forward the link to people they think might be receptive.
If you post websites, please consider posting a link or links to the page.
I've just devoted the better part of a month to mucking out McCain's stall. May I now ask you to invest 10 minutes of your time wielding a proverbial pitchfork?
