When I asked them if they actually heard it, they said no, there was no need to hear "such hate", they had read about it instead.
Not even "read it". "Read about it".

I heard it.
I cannot know for sure, but I suspect that your ascribing the designation of "superb" to it may be largely because of its tailoring to what the party faithful wanted to hear. Its blood drenched imagery and designation of Kerry as an Enemy to America went over quite well, I must say. And in that respect, I cannot disagree. I will even give it a "Superb!" with a capital S and a nifty exclamation point, to boot.
Beyond that, however, I cannot agree with your assessment.
