I'm not going to add to this paragraph because I couldn't make it any clearer than its author, Jim Newell, Associate Editor at Wonkette:
"The Obama campaign has sent its latest self-important “Big Announcement” email, and it’s funny! He will not be giving his empty-rhetoric convention speech in some smoky back room with George Soros and Scrooge McDuck as his only audience, which is customary. He will hold it outdoors, for everyone to attend, but only if they turn off their Xboxes first: “Barack will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.” But what if it rained on his parade, as they say? Or what if no one showed up, since the speech will be on the teevee and no one gives a shit anyway? Answer: book the Decemberists. (*note: The Decemberists are a local rock band, well-liked by Portlander's and, who for 45 minutes entertained the gathering crowd; mentioned here for you, the reader, to ASSUME there is something wrong with that.) Oh and also, if you give this clown more money he might let you, uh, watch him speak from a decent vantage point or what have you."
I know many of us do not visit these sites for the obvious reason crystalized here by Newell. It makes me wonder though why, if many on that side believe he makes sense, why he would put his name to this (_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _) You may fill in the blanks on what to call it.
Newell called it "Obama To Give Convention Speech in America's most hated location: Outdoors," while he touches on the outdoors, the meaning and the 'right only' message are crystal.
