That’s why I argue that the facts aren’t always the point. A BS “scandal” can undermine a campaign. I take no solace that we spent four more years with a hopelessly incompetent and maniacal administration because of a bullshit scandal. John Kerry let us down in 2004. Bullshit or not, it was his fucking job to win that election. As bad as those four years were, the next four promise to be far worse. More than four years if the Republicans pack the Supreme Court. It’s Clinton’s job to win this election. It isn’t out of line to expect her to do it right. She fucked up in 2008 and she better not do it again.

And do tell, did you spend 2004 worrying about the swiftboating and beseeching other liberals to take it seriously because Republicans insisted that it was a serious issue? And make arguments that Kerry had done something wrong, so the issue was genuine and something he had to address in order to make it go away? And the fact that it didn’t go away was proof that he didn’t do enough?
