Chill is a shill. The bulk of Chill’s post, the 2nd and 3rd graphs, appear word for word on the my.barackobama.com blog, posted June 30.

The same two paragraphs also appear on something called veteransforcommonsense.org, which I didn’t look into because the name tells me all I need to know about it. That was posted on May 30th.

Finally, getting to the source of the paragraphs we find it again on the barackobama.com page, listed as being from “Keith Wilson’s Blog” posted on March 8th. Apparently the Ur-source is noted: “The following editorial (written by the newspaper’s editor) appeared in the Grant County Herald newspaper (Elbow Lake, Minnesota, population 1213) in the March 5th, 2008 edition.”

Keith Wilson — the editor, I suppose — notes why he supports Obambi: “Barack Obama is intelligent, caring, organized, honest, consistent, and seems to have an amazing ability to reach people. His books are a must-read.”

In other words, Keith Wilson is a nincompoop.

Chill is probably just some troll that swiped the words of a nincompoop, surrounded them with two paragraphs of his own, and no doubt squealed with girlish delight at how clever he was.
