You've Got To Love MSNBC's 'Question Of The Day'
We're constantly amazed by the pro-administration slant of MSNBC's Question of the Day. Here's yet another "do you still beat your wife" question:

"Are war critics "irresponsible" for saying the Bush Administration manipulated intelligence?"

Notice the emphasis placed on the conduct of the critics instead of the liars who manipulated the intelligence.

2. Okay, everyone is ragging on this question, but I am glad it's there.
What it does is examine the popular opinion about a key (and hideous) right wing talking point. It asks, in very straight forward language, whether the right wing position that attacking Bush is irresponsible and puts our soldiers at risk (etc). In essence, the overwhelming answer defuses this stupid political meme, and I'm personally glad it's up.

3. Don't have a problem with it...
It's obvious what the outcome will be, so I wonder if they ask these questions just to show the response.

5. I dunno, it repudiates the Hannity/Limpballs talking points
And that's a good thing.

Frame the question their way then blow it away with the numbers.

The person who made the question should know what the answer will be.
