The epiphany apparently began with Raimondo's personal attack on W.
I realize this guy is wordy but I was interested in the process by which he was delivered from the dark side, insight which might guide us as we try to create more converts.
It is obvious that at some point Bush's personality connected in such a way that Tony couldn't join in the bashing. Watch for Bush's poll numbers to go up after yesterday, he may be halting and lacking verbally, but his conviction and simple logic both resonate with ordinary people, and his exposure to the public in this type of forum is a good thing for our side, IMHO.
Exactly. I was thinking the same thing.
The take that I got was the Raimondo found the public support for Michael Moore and Howard Dean to be more sacred to his "cause" than any public support for the President of the United States. This double standard is what brought the writer's epiphany around.
Raimondo has claimed that he also protested Bill Clinton's wars yet I don't recall the media (local, national, international, underground, etc.) ever promoting a single AntiWar.com protest until after 2001.
If people are not "honest" about why they attack a President, and they are willing to overlook all sorts of transgressions, and they are willing to partner up with unscrupulous agitators it should make anyone "question" just what the antiwar movement really is.
