A week ago, Obama Democrats were telling us that a vote for a Republican was tantamount to a vote against modernity. Never mind the fallacious simile, suggesting that McCain was the kind of Republican to whom such charges applied. Obama Democrats are anti-intellectual by definition, or at best “fake” intellectual, and I don’t expect them to use their faculties of recall or historic reference. Implying that a vote for the most centrist candidate in the Primary, is a vote for the most retrograde Creationists and Anti-Abortionists, requires you be deliberately oblivious to the fact that only four years ago John Kerry was seriously considering nominating John McCain as his Democratic Vice Presidential running mate.
