...this is precisely the sort of thing one of the dozens of embedded GOP "diarists" at Daily Kos would post at this time. Plants pose and root for the home team, develop their "board cred" and then when commanded too, run interference.

Looking at the posts and how fickle the leftists are about who they want as Pres, shows it works perfectly.
See? No one can say I don't take on the more scurrilous actions of the right as they wage their own propaganda war.
