Erick Erickson at RedState has an awesome plan for the next election:
RedState is pleased to announce it is engaging in a special project: Operation Leper.
We’re tracking down all the people from the McCain campaign now whispering smears against Governor Palin to Carl Cameron and others. Michelle Malkin has the details.
We intend to constantly remind the base about these people, monitor who they are working for, and, when 2012 rolls around, see which candidates hire them. Naturally then, you’ll see us go to war against those candidates.
It is our expressed intention to make these few people political lepers.
Yeah, holding a grudge for four years will take you far in politics.
While we’re at it, leprosy is not a moral failing, it’s a disease. Lepers are sick people. It’s usually considered appropriate to show compassion toward them.
Also, there’s no need to quarantine people with leprosy. Once you’ve diagnosed someone with leprosy, it’s cheaper and easier to treat them than to quarantine them. Besides, most people in the world are naturally immune.
So, the plan is to be cruel, ignorant, and vindictive. Because this is exactly the kind of thinking I want from the people in charge of our government. Don’t you?
