Guys like these are why Democrats don't win elections. Every intelligent
thing a liberal leader says is undermined by some clueless jackass like
this, which is what people remember when they think of liberaldom. In
fact,
guys like this are the best thing to happen to Republicans.

It is an unfortunite fact of common human nature to wish to be BETTER than
others and the simplest way is to discredit everyone else. Unfortunately
this tactic robs the time and energy that would be required to truely better
themselves.
Remember "natering nabobs of negativism"?

Also unfortunately this tactic is often used in the courts of both legal and
electoral judgement and is the reason negative political advertizing works
so well. It is however also a comment on the percieved inteligence of its
targets.

I notice that organizations like the military that have studied what really
works develop cultures that build on the positive and motivate with words
like "outstanding"
