Ultimately, it is not unpatriotic, it is simply an act of reckless judgement to put someone so woefully inexperienced into that position. That is worse that unpatriotic, it is outright dangerous.
Well, guess what? Mr. Elisberg (or someone) apparently edited the original post at Huffington, removing the part I found so ridiculous ("If Republicans vote for this ticket, it is PROOF they hate this country more than bin Laden does.")

Gone now, replaced with more paragraphs of political babble, though slightly less offensive.

I guess someone at Huffington must have agreed with me.

Elisberg's piece still stated the obvious, though, and hours after the rest of the world had already spotted all the things he noted. But better late than never. And I still think we have some folks on this board who are every bit as brilliant as him or more so.
