Speaking of Rottenness (see below post)-

One of my first forays into the "Democratic Underground", and it reminded me of shovelling manure- the deeper you dig, the worse the stench.

One of the surefire ways to evaluate a political movement is to analyse how they would react to the death of their opponents. That spectre (or prospect of joy, if sufficiently twisted- and they are) was raised today by the revelation of a al-Qaeda scheme to assassinate a leading political figure in the US- the prime target being GWB.

And the DU's reaction? To smell a Republican scheme to take out Kerry while blaming al-Qaeda. The originator of this "brilliant" theory apparently drew most on the inspiration of the darker characters of the Harry Potter stories to enrich his understanding. I think it stinks. (via LGF)
