Despin: ACORN Registration
Let's review, and provide some context for the GOP's false outrage:
  • Project ACORN: members padded the registration rolls with false names, to boost their numbers.
  • The Republican Party: Decades of Jim Crow, and veiled attempts, to this day, to effect the same conditions.

Color me less than impressed with the GOP's allegations.

DeSpin: Gesture me This

And so, we've made it through the last of the debates for this presidential election, and it's time to despin some bullshit that's being spread by Senator Obama's supporters. Much like the GOP is using the lack of evidence to tie up the press until Election Day, Democrats are using irrelevant points to distract the discussion.

The "dis"

The loudest flap from the "town hall" debate was the alleged lack of respect shown to Obama from Senator McCain, through some form of fake handshake or another. This bullshit has been spread to mask the fact that both candidates, and the debate itself, were as fake as a slice of Velveeta. You heard me right: Obama recited a bunch of 18-month-old talking points and stump speeches. It was a complete snow job, and Obama may as well have saved his voice by playing chapters from a DVD.

So, with nothing positive to say about their candidate, the flouncy-bouncy members of Dems have invented controversy: McCain withdrew a handshake offer? *Gasp*

Scandal!

"Disrespect to the chosen one!"

"What a rude person he is, because *indignant huff*!"

What complete bullshit.

The "gag"

This one's making the animated GIF circuit: McCain, when caught in a "which way do I go" moment, will pretend to gag at the dilemma. Being old and scarred, this comes across with none of the range of body motion required to pull off slapstick comedy. Building on the pattern of distraction, many Democrats have channeled their repressed anger with a refreshing round of "Mock the Cripple", and general mocking of McCain's appearance. This is actually more insight into evil psyches than anything else, but the statements made by such animations are complete bullshit.
