re: #388 Talking Point Detective

You continue to miss the point — I really don’t care about ‘strategy’ here, and I’m not writing about Sarah Palin in order to cleverly cause her defeat in 2012. Your contention seems to be that I’m somehow ‘wrong’ to characterize her as dumb, despite the fact that she’s really really dumb, because it’s ‘counterproductive’.

Two points: 1) I don’t agree that pointing out stupidity in a political opponent is ‘counterproductive’, and 2) even if I did, I still wouldn’t hesitate to do it when the stupidity is so blindingly obvious.

And point #3, from which points 1 and 2 stem: I repeat, I’m not shilling for either side. I’m trying to write honestly.
