A politician dishonest? NO! I'm shocked! SHOCKED I tell you!

Here we go again with the assertion that some flag waiving ex-military rightwing gas bag is somehow inherently more honest than everyone else.

Where does this bullshit end?

From Col. Allen West (who I think would make a fine presidential or vice presidential candidate) and the New York Times....So, the protests and the rage and the looting and burning were not totally a snowball effect from mad, disillusioned horrified citizens? The situation was (at least in part) a conspiracy by MORE and ACORN'S successor to produce anarchy, destruction and mayhem?

Maybe it's just me but I find this dishonest.....but I'm not surprised. It takes some wind out of the sails of the Progressive argument....
Dawg. Allen West is mentally ill. Trust me on this, it's my business.

The way that sounds so true and compelling is exactly what's wrong with metaphors.

Metaphors are one better than metathrees, but bested by metafives and those above that.
