Obama wins big in Story Hill

Fraley’s Daily Fake

The cut-and-paste BS passed along by Brian Fraley, who wrongly attributed a communist writing to Barack Obama and then accused Obama of communism, earns him a seat on the 15th level along side John McCain.

Hat tip to Folkbum, but I’m not sure that Fraley misattribution was an accident. He surely knows his post is wrong by now, and yet it remains. Hmmmm

McCain enters the 15th circle of hell

It’s the one reserved for desperate politicians, and they risk falling to the 16th level — reserved for disgraced politicians — by doing awful things to claw their way their way back into contention.

John McCain is slipping from his hot perch in the 15th level. His performance in the final debate was so bad it was fascinating. ACORN might destroy the “fabric of democracy?” Oh, plllleeeeeaaaasssse. The Republicans are trying to turn ACORN into the Willie Horton of 2008 and it just ain’t gonna play.
