Yup – that is wingnut darling supporting Salt Lake City mayor Rocky Anderson. This is the same Rocky Anderson who called Bush a war criminal this week and said he should be impeached. Kos has a bunch of Rocky’s diaries highlighted.
Hear that? It is the meltdown of the wingnut bloggers. Just when they thought it was so neat about the Hillary 1984 ad on YouTube. The maker of that ad has summed it up perfectly:
I made the “Vote Different” ad because I wanted to express my feelings about the Democratic primary, and because I wanted to show that an individual citizen can affect the process. There are thousands of other people who could have made this ad, and I guarantee that more ads like it–by people of all political persuasions–will follow.
The only thing I would like to add to that is the difference the media age is making on politics. It was easy to sit there and deny saying something in past elections, but now thanks to the power of the internet, we have archives to go through and demystify any shades a candidate might try to cast over a previous part of their lives. Some are taking awhile to learn this. Tony Snow got caught with it yesterday when asked about his sudden support for executive privilege when 10 years ago he was so against it.
