About being "fair" to the other side [View All]

[CreekDog]

I see a thread about how perhaps McCain has Alzheimer's and I see responses saying essentially, that's not fair, accurate, etc.

Meanwhile, McCain's goons are spreading scurrilous and unfounded smears that Obama is a Muslim (even though he's not, and even though there's not a damned thing wrong with being Muslim...).

So here's my conclusion about this need to be "fair" or not jump to conclusions.

SCREW THAT.

They are not going to make a fool of me for having a sense of fairness. If they want to play fair, then I'm happy to say the McCain/Alzheimer's thing is unfounded, but they aren't playing that game. They want me to criticize that statement and they want to go under the radar and say more untrue things about Obama.

Forget it. I'm not stepping in to defend McCain. Obama was plenty willing to run a campaign that didn't engage in any of this sort of stuff, but he finds himself in the boxing ring with a guy throwing a chair at him.

If McCain wants to allow this sort of crap to be a part of his campaign, then he RIGHTLY should expect unfair attacks on him. I won't engage in them, but I won't lift a finger to stop them.

"Don't hit the bully, he's had a hard life" :wtf:
