It appears to me that the site, although riddled with errors, was done with good intentions. The kid has poor grammar and lacks grace, but I don't think that he's on the wrong side of things.

My personal thoughts:

If I didn't know that the guy was American I would have thought him a Briton. Why? Because on the webpage is a very sutble but exceedingly caustic sarcasm, such that it doesn't come out overtly and smack you in the face but lingers in the background. I'd have to say one of the best obfuscated bile I've ever seen in quite a long time.

My basis for this? Well, let me just post some of the stuff in his website.

Let me start with 'Why not to vote for John Kerry:

John Kerry wants to raise our taxes! John Kerry has given speeches saying he will raise our taxes by 900 BILLION DOLLARS! With 300,000,000 people in the United States that means each person will have to pay an extra 3,000 dollars in taxes!!! And that's just the first 100 DAYS!!! So that means everyone will have to pay an extra TEN THOUSAND dollars in taxes PER YEAR! Who the hell can afford that?

Spetz: Here he mocks the taxation calculation used against Kerry by Rove. He makes it appear implausible, and outright stupid.

John Kerry went to Yale College. Yale College is somewhere in Masachusets and only educates LIBERALS. While going to school at Yale College, John Kerry was in a club called the “Skull and Bones”. It’s a very secret club that has the members chanting and worshiping the devil and the members of the club go on to create conspiracies all over the world. Do we really want someone from this club running our country?

Spetz: Well, seems benign, until you consider that GW also went to Yale (which, allegedly, educates only 'liberals'). Secondly, GW was also a member of the said Skull and Bones Secret Society. Now, take out Kerry's name and put GW in the above ....and you see the joke that this guy is trying to propagate.

And now to go to the 'Good things about Bush'

He found and put in jail thousands of arabs living in America, to protect us from getting atacked again.

Spetz: Think about the way he drafted that sentence! It is in a bad light, to say the least. And once again, subtle sarcasm.

He went to war with Iraq and has killed millions of the terrorists that caused September 11 that were living in Iraq and being payed by Sadam Husein. George Bush also went to Iraq and made sure that there were no WMD's (Wepons of Multiple Destruction). Now that we know there are no WMD's in Iraq we can all feel safe.

Spetz: Again, there is hidden vitriol in that statement. It is really not that hard to see.

George W Bush has voted in congress to lower the taxes we pay to the government. It’s unfair that we have to pay TWENTY percent of what we make to people working for the government. That money shouldn’t go to those people, it should be used for us to have a better economy.

Spetz: note the emphasis on 20%.

George W. Bush is pro-life (which means he doesn’t like abortions) and will vote in congress to stop them from ever happening. God says to make all human life precious and the killing of any life (like in abortion) is against God’s law

Spetz: Sounds benign and ok ....until you look at the following remark the guy makes ...below:

George W uphoalds the death penilty and will execute men who break laws

Spetz: Put this sentence together with the one above and the sarcastic point the guy is trying to make becomes evident.

And then look at some of the stuff in his mailbag. I'll only post one: George Bush is the GREATEST for sticking America’s nose into other countries. Imagine if we hadn’t attacked Iraq! Sadam would still be their president and he would be working with terrorists to try and destroy AMERICA. Also, now we have scared other Arab countries so much that the people of THOSE countries will never think of F-ING with the U.S.A.!

That guy is a LIBERAL. He does not support GW, and he is making a mockery of us conservatives. What he is utilizing is a form of sarcastic humor that to be honest with you I have not seen since my time with my Brit pals. And he has used it quite adeptly. Don't be fooled by him ....he is a liberal through and through.

This reminds me of another website ...this time it mocked Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe. Same type of thing ....acting as if it is supporting the guy but outrightly mocking him (although on that web site they did not try to hide their bile as much).

I found the part about Dick Clark pretty funny. This is a clever little piece of propaganda.
