I also despise liars and manipulative people. I’ve been surfing around the friendly confines of the net to find out what people are saying about the McCain-Palin lies and one point that I haven’t seen mentioned is how obvious the lies are. There isn’t any sophistication or strategic thinking apparent. Sophisticated and intelligent liars cook-up stories that resemble free-flowing water. The lie appears to make sense and doesn’t raise suspicions. McCain-Palin, however, present themselves not as independent and responsible reformers, but as cartoon-like maverick super-reformers who, with a wave of their magic light-swords, can vanquish all of the bad guys, save the world, and have dinner on the table at 6 pm sharp without breaking a sweat. This type of lying betrays extreme contempt for the voting public and the media. It’s so in-your-face insulting that it cannot be ignored. Even a cub reporter for the Hooterville Clarion can uncover these lies.

This lack of judgment crosses the line into unmapped territory — improvisational impulsivity without regard to reality.

We’ve been transported into some weird comic book.

Ahhhhh…I see. Getting paid to do the McCain campaign responses in the comments today, or just a true believer?

Perhaps a Cheetos tax would have the effect of cutting back on these trolls.

Which is exactly why my child will be armed with whatever information keeps her safest. And why we are considering some karate lessons for her, too.

Kung fu peanut, I can see it now.
