...perfectly willing to go for a false statement that illustrates a truth...

The SCOTUS Kelo Decision again -- this time from a leftie moonbat perspective. Paul at Wizbang covers Howard Dean's gaffe and takes on the kids at daily kos as well -- doubleplus goodness!
Kos Has a Lot of Work to Do
After Howard Dean made a complete ass of himself with the Supreme Court comment, (believe it or not) one of the Kos kids called the comments "[not] even remotely defensible."

The poster did not explain the comments to the kids however... Which is where the fun begins:

Here's the first few comments about the quote:
1) Um What?

2) Huh? I don't understand why you are offended by Dean's words.

3) (somebody let a ringer in to explain it)

4) This issue has made people mad. The public does not know who the lefties and righties are. In fact a couple of the "lefties" are Republican appointees who interpret the law isn a supposed liberal way. ... Anyway, why shouldn't we pick up on a "activist" court decision and spin it our way? ... This decision made the public mad. [Let's just lie to the public, they'll never know. -ed]

5) Definitely "Bush's Court" The SCOTUS appointed Quacky president in 2000. IMO, that makes them "Bush's Court". And in general they are pretty right wing. That make's them "Bush's Right-Wing Court".
So, as usual, Howard Dean is Right. [emphasis in original -ed]

6) I didn't understand either until I clicked the lnk [sic]
I didn't understand the problem with Dean's quote either until I click through the link to the Dean Nation post and found the sensible observation that the eminent domain case was decided by a five justice majority that included the four "liberal" judges; Scalia, Thomas, Rhenquist were in dissent.

7) Well, here's the thing...
I'm 100% behind it. Why? Because it resonates, and I'm perfectly willing to go for a false statement that illustrates a truth., [emp mine -ed]
The GOP is the party of Big Business. Big Business (business in general) is who benefitted from the Kelo case.
So, frankly, I say it's a great line of attack. Screw accuracy -- remind people that now big business can take their homes away to make a shopping mall, and that's A-okay by the GOP.
And on and on it goes. Half the Kos kids had no clue what was wrong with the statement the other half said the Dems should just keep lying about it.

Kos says he is trying to purge the moonbats from the site... From the looks of it, he's got some work to do.
Paul steped in as [xxxx - ed] a few times above... This really illustrates the sloppy thinking of the moonbats that they would be willing to embrace a known false statement because it illustrates something that to them represents a truth. Explains a lot behind the Joe Wilson and the TANG 'scandals' Word up -- FACTS! Please, just facts and stuff that is like... verifiable... Ahhhhhhhhh -- screw them...
