Tinfoil hats indeed

The Sock Thief points to a post on Crooked Timber entitled "MASSIVE VOTING MACHINE FRAUD!" and calls them

Desperate, pathetic, counter-productive.

I suspected that's what they were like.

But perhaps he should actually read the article rather than unthinkingly reacting to the headline or its author. For a start, it's about Venezuela, not the recent US election. Secondly, it's in part a commentary about how the dispute has been conducted honestly and respectfully, rather than (for example) in the manner Sock Thief so obviously prefers. But why let what people have actually written get in the way of what Sock Thief thinks they have written? Easier simply to label them tinfoil-hat wearers, while continuing to see Bush-hating anti-Americanism everywhere. Tinfoil hats indeed...
