WELCOME TO THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT, RUSH (AND ANN AND GLENN)

What I'm about to say is glaringly obvious, but I want to say it anyway: The recent pronouncements of the right-wing media's McCain Derangement Syndrome brigade -- Limbaugh, Coulter, now Glenn Beck -- that they'll vote for Clinton or Obama if the GOP nominee is McCain are proof, if we needed any, that the last six years have been a big lie. These right-wingers never gave a rat's ass about the Iraq War except as a stick they could use to beat Democrats and liberals; given the opportunity to rally around the most unswerving Iraq War hawk in the race, they're passing it up, proclaiming there's no reason not to vote for Democratic candidates who've promised to withdraw and throwing their support behind a guy who polls say would lose badly to those Democrats.

So much for the cause of our generation. Thanks for the bashing and the accusations of treason, folks -- stupid me, I half thought you actually meant it.
