Wow.
ETA: Actually, Talking Points Memo has it even better. You might want to follow this link and not the one below (same info, different style)
You may have seen elsewhere stories about Democrats who are protesting the Sinclair Broadcast Group’s plan to broadcast an anti-Kerry film just days before the election. The film is reportedly little more than an expanded version of the already-discredited Swift Boat ads.
I’ve been staying away from it because I didn’t have anything to add and hadn’t found other items to point to.
Now I have.
The ‘Crat’s position is that such a broadcast constitues an illigal “in-kind contribution to George W. Bush.” Today the VP of Sinclair said that “if you use that logic and reasoning, that means every car bomb in Iraq would be considered an in-kind contribution to John Kerry.”
He further goes on to compare those networks who have chosen not to broadcast the film to “Holocaust deniers.” And so once again we see that Godwins Law applies just as well outside the net as on it. When someone reaches for such a comparision in just about any context you can almost always assume that (at best) they know, deep down, that they’re wrong.
Or they’re just lying.
