<content type="text/html" mode="escaped">&lt;p&gt;Both &lt;a href="http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/7389"&gt;James Joyner&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.tagorda.com/archives/003633.php"&gt;Robert Garcia Tagorda&lt;/a&gt; take note of &lt;a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/007731.php"&gt;John Hinderaker&amp;rsquo;s post&lt;/a&gt; on a recent &lt;a href="http://www.johnkerry.com/pressroom/releases/pr_2004_0905a.html"&gt;Kerry press release&lt;/a&gt;, which purports to expose &amp;ldquo;four days of lies&amp;rdquo; at the Republican National Convention. The only problem with the press release? It doesn&amp;rsquo;t actually present any rebuttals to the &amp;ldquo;lies&amp;rdquo; it catalogs, apparently on the mistaken impression that &amp;ldquo;X is lying because I say so&amp;rdquo; is a legitimate argument in a debate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href="http://onefinejay.com/2004/09/06/the-caged-hamster-went-rabid/" title="The Caged Hamster went rabid"&gt;One Fine Jay&lt;/a&gt; catches the Dems (in the same release) engaging in the sort of petty, vile anti-southern bigotry that helps explain why their support has essentially evaporated among native whites in the region.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
