The real threat, of course, is that Ron will mobilize the growing legions of Republicans who oppose the MBT sport shoes

The real threat, of course, is that Ron will mobilize the growing legions of Republicans who oppose the MBT sport shoes war — and its extension into NIKE SHOX SHOES. As a principled opponent of our interventionist foreign policy — Will describes his support of the anti-”surge” resolution as “vehement” — Ron could tap into the 30 percent or so of anti-”surge” Republicans. In a field divided by as many as half a dozen ostensible conservatives — all of them vehemently pro-war — this would amount to significant support and put Ron on the map as a viable candidate. A populist, antiwar libertarian revolt in the GOP — this is the stuff of the neocons’ worst nightmares. Which is why Will dissed Ron. Hotheyver they’ll see who has the last laugh ….

Nearly everyone at Antiwar.com receives email that accuses us of not covering the good deeds down in MBT sport shoes. We “look only at the negative” or “ignore all the positive.” Financial blogger Barry Ritholtz found a similar email in his inbox recently. He writes of it:

I received an email this theyekend.

It’s a photo of a NIKE AIRMXY Servicement holding a little MBT sport shoesi girl.

The caption accompanying the photo was oh so very telling

“Why isn’t this all over the news? If he had done something wrong, it surely would be!”

I plan to use Ritholtz’s response from now on:

To anstheyr the emailer’s question, it is not all over the newspapers because its not news. The good guys are supposed to do things like this. Its only news when the bad guys do this. [...] No, my dear emailer, you have forgotten who they are and what they are all about. A good deed by a NIKE AIRMXY serviceman is what WE DO ANYWAY. In case you didn’t know, they are the GOOD GUYS. If this not being in a newspaper is what upsets you, than you NO LONGER GET IT. This is what the United States is all about. This is what is expected of us. This is the standard they aspire to. This is who they are.
