Wingnut sends me Lanny's "Liberal McCARTHYism" piece. My response. [View All]

[UTUSN]

The local radio wingnut talkshow host sent me an op-ed by Lanny DAVIS, calling us "liberal McCARTHYites" for wanting to ditch Joementum. I'm looking for the link (I deleted the e-mail). So I replied:


Re: the Lanny DAVIS opinion on alleged "liberal McCARTHYism".

Joementum has been endorsed by HANNITY, Ann COULTERgeist-of-the-Adam's-apple, and kissed by Shrub.

You yourself, regarding Catholic politicians who are pro-Choice, have said that Catholics should not be cafeteria-Catholics, picking and choosing policies at will and that the Church should excommunicate or withhold communion to pro-Choicers or other defiers of other Church policies.

For six years, the namby-pamby Democrats have walked a tightrope, afraid to be called un-American if they oppose Shrub on anything, have not behaved as an opposition party.

---------So, the questions: Why are supposed "Far Left" Dems to be castigated as full of hate and as McCARTHYites for wanting their loyal opposition respresented? Why should they support somebody who fits the 3 premises cited above?

And as for Lanny, after championing CLINTON on the FAKE impeachment, he then championed Shrub as being a fun dude at school and as, supposedly, NOT stupid. And now it's Joementum. The trend or drift of his championing makes me wonder. And as for his cherrypicking a handful of posts from liberal blogs--------MALKIN and other wingnuts do that all the time, finding the most attention-grabbing posts and quoting THOSE, while passing over HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS of other, less attention-grabbing posts.
