Barking moonbat anti-war “journalist” Justin Raimondo, still ranting about his pet “Israeli spy ring” conspiracy theory, now thinks he’s identified the problem with the Kerry campaign—it wasn’t loony enough.

Remember the Democratic convention — where antiwar signage and sentiment was verboten? — that cravenly sought to mimic Republican militarism? Boston signaled the death wish of the Democrats: after all, why vote for Bush Lite, when the real deal is already in office?

When Bush’s minions defamed Kerry’s military record, smeared his supporters, and implied that a Kerry victory would be followed shortly afterward by the nuking of major American cities, the Democratic candidate … did nothing. Better to lose the election than that the word “chickenhawk” should ever pass the lips of a Boston Brahmin.

And one of the Kos Kidz advocates lying: Daily Kos :: Ralph’s Gift.

Marching order #1, therefore, is this: No matter whom you talk to outside our circles, begin to perpetuate the (false, exaggerated) notion that George Bush’s victory was built not merely on values issues, but gay marriage specifically. If you feel a need to broaden it slightly, try depicting the GOP as a majority party synonymous with gay-haters, warmongers and country-clubbers. Because I, for one, am tired of hearing whiny complaints from conservatives that, not only do I not have values, but that I fail to properly respect the values of people who are all too happy to buy into, no less perpetuate, inaccurate caricatures of the 54 million Americans who voted Tuesday for John Kerry.

Criticizing the GOP ain’t gonna build us a new national majority. But the process is brick by brick, or perhaps, brickbat by brickbat.
