David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Today's Papers on Slate linked to an LA Times editorial that makes the point I was trying to make in my post yesterday. The right-wingers, in the form of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, are using a tried-and-true technique for disseminating false information about a rival. But the back-story is complicated enough that it's difficult for the average voter to separate fact from fiction and it creates doubt in their minds. Read the article as it makes these points better than I can (if you need an LA Times login/password use bugmenot).
