Seattle Weekly: Stealth Politics versus Paranoia Politics
The latest issue of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce's left-wing mouthpiece, the Seattle Weekly, features an article titled "Paranoia Politics," in which he criticizes Howard Dean for speculating that George W. Bush had advance warning of the Attack on America.

Berger suggests it's a valid theory - but it's already being promoted by activists, and presidential candidates shouldn't get bogged down in theories.

But how is the general public supposed to buy into these theories if they're only promoted by fringe activists? Couldn't a presidential candidate help make such theories more mainstream?

Of course. The Seattle Weekly specializes in stealth politics - convincing readers that it's on OUR side, then printing clever propaganda pieces that remind us that "We're still on your side - and that's precisely why we want you to change your message and strategy!"

Berger also criticizes Congressman "Baghdad Jim" McDermott, just as former columnist Geov Parrish attacked people who suspect foul play in Paul Wellstone's death.

Screw Knute Berger and Geov Parrish. They should hire on with Joe Lieberman's campaign.
