How do people in the real world usually react when they hear you compare Ashcroft with Himmler? I'll bet you don't talk about that kind of thing with most folks, do you?
They probably don't. Sam is probably a keyboard commando in the bowels of the DNC.
But what the hey, he has tried to whip up animosity against Bush the last few days, and yet in reply #388, he says that he will vote for no one(I.E. a "slick" way to criticize Bush and taking the cowardly demo way out of being publicly "independent").
Sammy is doing the job assigned to him by the DNC the best way he can, and that is to try to take votes away from Bush on FR, since taking a vote away from Bush is a vote for the demo candidate, whoever that may be.
