The battle of the misleading ads.

Another article at MSNBC was yet another detailing the misleading ads that both Kerry and Bush are throwing up now. While the article does concede that Bush has spent this entire campaign focusing on mendacious and negative ads while Kerry started nice, it points out that both of them are now completely tossing veracity out the window.

Strangely enough, I find myself so very happy and pleased that Kerry is doing this. As the article points out, the average American just doesn't have time to check and verify what they hear during these ads - which means that they just assume that the ads are true! Which means that the only people getting upset by the complete crap in these negative Bush ads was liberal lefty obsessives like myself. Which means that a lot of energy was being wasted worrying about an impossibility, i.e. getting the record straight, and getting flustered by the audacity of that crazy poisonous bastard Rove (& Co). So really, thank God the Kerry campaign has decided to fight fire with fire. Sad to say, but when you're dealing with a fucker who will stop at nothing, you've got no choice but to best them at their own sick game. In fact, I have a sick fantasy of my own - a world where liberals run everything and constantly are presenting fiction as truth and vice versa and conservatives run around gnashing their teeth at the insanity and idiocy of the average American citizen, while liberal pundits nod their heads in agreement like trained monkeys at the most ridiculous liberal pap (and there's plenty of that to be found, God knows...)

In any case, Tony, you're right - nothing is quite as amusing as hearing Bush accuse Kerry of using "scare tactics to win the election". I just wish Kerry would start saying that Bush "can't run and hide" from his record over the past four years.
