Hewitt's Argument

    I was reading the Hewitt Blog and came across this insane post. Of course, it bashed Obama as conservative blogs do, but I don't think I've seen one as bad as this. He started the blog by telling about how the magazine Newsweek is going out of popularity and demand. Then he paralleled this magazine to Obama, by saying, "It failed. It will go away." First off, what does the President have to do with a magazine? Secondly, he can't say Obama failed. He obviously did succeed in many endeavors as President.
    He goes on to explain that Obama is making jokes about binders when he should be worrying about Libya and gas prices. Really? Of course he's worrying about Libya and gas prices, you twat. Since he apparently needs a lesson on campaign tactics from a left-leaning independent college sophomore like myself, I would say the binder jokes are a jab at Romney's recent fault in the second presidential debate. But that's just right, I guess, because the Romney campaign has been trying to turn the whole "binder" business around on Obama, somehow, which is sort of ridiculous. Truth is, though, the "binder" thing itself is ridiculous, not whether or not which candidate said it, but the fact that they're using it for votes. But then again, what else can they use? Republicans, like Hewitt, can't say who's telling the truth or not. No one knows, because the candidates call each other liars. So bloggers, like Hewitt, look to the things that the people know and have seen and heard with their own senses, like mistakes such as the "binder" fiasco.
    It would then be good argument on Hewitt's part, if he took what Americans actually saw and tried that against Obama, but he didn't. He just picked up on what other Republicans are doing. Hewitt's overall argument was faulty everywhere. But you can't expect much from a conservative blogger, or a liberal one, in regards to fair argument.
