Newspapers still clueless: “1. I didn’t know the local paper has a col. called ‘online buzz.’ 2. The online version didn’t link to the post of mine they mentioned. duh.”

Lee at Digital Nicotine says this about the S-CHIP issue:

Democrats have the emotional edge on the general issue. Republicans have the dry logic in this particular aspect of the debate.

Knowing that their edge is in emotion, Democrats use brain damaged children to read their copy. Nothing like a brain damaged child to stir the emotions. They even filmed a video of a toddler with a heart condition holding a drawing that says, “Don’t Veto Me.”

I’m guessing she didn’t write it herself.

And in a perfectly logical sense, if she was already eligible for S-CHIP, how could a Bush veto — veto her?

This is very reminiscent of when some in the GOP called anyone opposed to the Iraq invasion America-haters. They were on the emotionally “right” (see also: easy) side, so it was easy to paint detractors as traitors. (Pro-lifers do this as well–heck, they’ve almost perfected the art.) No matter who is doing it, it is a gross manipulation of the American people.
