Oswalt's latest MySpace blog entry brings up something I had overlooked about the contemptible low-road tactics of the McCain campaign:

In [John] Oliver's Thursday segment on THE DAILY SHOW, he showed footage of Guiliani and Palin sneering at people who work as "community organizers". 'Cuz, you know, community organizers are jokes. Ha ha!

He also talks to "watchdog" Matthew Vadum (incredibly, a man who manages to kick my ass in the "being shaped like a mound of shit" category) who points out that Osama Bin Laden is also a community organizer. Ha! Take that, people trying to help their communities! Fuck you, terrorists!

Then Oliver talks to Liz Shaw, a conservative Christian living in Southeast Ohio. You see, she's also a community organizer. She's an authentic, small-town type who deals with hunger issues in the Appalachian Valley. And she was a bit hurt when Sarah Palin, a cunt with a fake accent wearing a Saks Fifth Avenue wardrobe, essentially called her useless in front of a stadium of cheering cunts and assholes.

"I'm not only voting for Obama, I'm organizing for him."

There you go, dumbshits. With one sentence, you pissed off the ACTIVE, ORGANIZING, MOTIVATED branch of your conservative Christian base. Y'see, it's easy to rile up and encourage the know-nothing dumbfucks who do what they're told 'cause "God has a plan". But a Christian like Liz Shaw, who walks it like she talks it, can always spot a Pharisee.

The Liz Shaws of the country have been stoking the fires of McCain's defeat since the convention, and there's nothing he can do it about it now.

In the same post Oswalt points to an entry on his website which I also like:  the story of John McCain's downfall will make a Great American Novel someday.
