From the SLATE online teen magazine, comes this bit from Jacob Weisberg: IF OBAMA LOSES. The theory is that Bush was so obviously terrible and everyone knows it, so any vote for a Republican is really a vote against Barack Obama because you’re a racist bastard.

It seems to me that Weisberg is simply spitting such dross to get a reaction, but then again, some people could be so out-of-touch, so warped and addled, that they could actually believe this. It would be a frightening place to be, mentally, but the world does of its share of tragic nuts. And it is tragic.
