At the urging of a friend, I just read this piece in the Op-Ed section of the New York Times. The premise is a little bit goofy, but the message is right on the money.
It’s time to go forth and kick a little ass, Senator, and Friday would be the day to do it. Get out there, call McCain and Palin’s schtick exactly what it is: a line of crap that reeks so bad that you’d have to have a dead skunk wrapped around your face to not be aware of their stink. When that debate rolls around, push him. Hit him hard every chance you get. And I’m not talking the soft gloves, the one where you’re vague or polite about it. It’s time to put on the brass knuckles and fuck his shit up. Tell McCain — to his face — that he’s full of crap, that he’s lying, that no matter how he tries to seize your message of change, that the bottom line is that he represents continued failed economic and military policies and that he has no place in this election. Hit him and hit him hard.
From day one, this has been your election to win, and right now McCain is outright lying, using deceit and fearmongering, to take it away from you. Are you going to stand for that shit?
Look, Senator, I’ve got your back. I’ve given you money, I’ve given you my voice, and I’ve given you what shreds of hope that I’ve had left after the previous eight years. I’ve been to your rallies here in the Twin Cities, and I’m ready to do whatever it takes to help you win in November. But the bottom line is, Senator, you need to stand up, dust yourself off, and kick his fucking ass.
Millions of us have your back. We know you can win this fight. You just have to start throwing punches.
