Who's Got the Biggest Fallacy?

The MississippiforMcCain Web site is truly acting like a cyber-moron at the moment. We just turned up this general swipe at "another lefty"—who, it turns out, is a guy with radical, inconsistent (at best) views at best who wrote a letter to the Ledger the McCain crowd doesn't like. George Lambus wrote to the Ledger complaining that:

Carroll County in Mississippi has been from its inception a hotbed of Klan activity, now if Sen. John McCain's great-grandfather was once a sheriff there, what does that say? Apples don't fall far from the tree!

So, the McCainians apparently did a Google and found this letter from the same wacko in the JFP, in which he shocked our sensibilities with his lambasting of young, black males, even as he stated that he is himself black. This letter is one of the more notorious that we have ever received here, and even drew a response from our former assistant editor, Natalie Collier, who is black.

The fun part, though, is to watch the Mississippi McCain crowd try to use these whacked-out letters to paint the whole "lefty" crowd (presumably anyone not supporting their geezer).

Listen up, Mississippi Republicans: This kind of illogical, ignorant witchhunt for "lefties," coming from the party that perfected the southern race strategy in Mississippi, is why your party is in trouble with younger generations. This is not real; it is stupid, and it is reminiscent of the "communist" and "liberal" bashing of past years.

Try something new, please.
