In Case You Didn't Know

Republicans are indeed stupid.

Ann Coulter on Richard Clarke:

Isn't that just like a liberal? The chair-warmer describes Bush as a cowboy and Rumsfeld as his gunslinger -- but the black chick is a dummy. Maybe even as dumb as Clarence Thomas! Perhaps someday liberals could map out the relative intelligence of various black government officials for us.

Novakula is also running that "Clarke is a racist" meme to discredit his obviously damaging 9/11 testimony:

NOVAK: Congressman, do you believe, you're a sophisticated guy, do you believe watching these hearings that Dick Clarke has a problem with this African-American woman Condoleezza Rice?

EMANUEL: Say that again?

NOVAK: Do you believe that Dick Clarke has a problem with this African-American woman Condoleezza Rice?

EMANUEL: No, no. Bob, give me a break. No. No.

I watched the exchange and couldn't freaking believe it. And to top it all off, the GOP accuses Stephanie Herseth of collecting campaign donations from a "secret" web page:

Republicans have accused Democratic U.S. House candidate Stephanie Herseth of maintaining a secret Web page to receive campaign donations raised from ads on liberal groups' Internet sites.

But a Herseth campaign official scoffed at the charge, saying the Web page is not secret and can be found easily with a standard search of the Internet.

I don't know whether this makes me feel more or less hopeful about November...
