The Eliminationists: Violent Language and Intent In America

“Eliminationist? What’s that? Who are they? I’ve not seen that word before and don’t understand. “
These are common reactions when people see the real work being done to define the violent rhetoric today. There is a movement of people who are radical and think seriously of how to demonize then eliminate their opposition. The language [...]

Natural Sciences (and Un-)

Galileo pointed his telescope at Jupiter and discovered four moons.

Had it happened in the here and now, we could bank that Michelle Malkin would sneer at Galileo and his new-fangled and untrustworthy device. Newsbusters would point out that the Universe was perfect and that there couldn’t be any moons around Jupiter; Sean Hannity would growl [...]

Gee. Where’s Michael Goldfarb?

Kristol: Nicht!
i. prologue, incest among the NeoCons
I’ve told you at length about the Rovian Campaign of McCain’s deputy director of communications, Weekly Standard blog writer and editor Michael Goldfarb (on a ‘leave of absence’). And I’ve told you about how William Kristol is so tangled up in the McCain campaign, Fox News and the selection [...]

Rudy Airs Fear Mongering Ad and Obama Ad Shows Up On Drudge

Rudy Giuliani has a new ad on the air in New Hampshire and Florida. It features footage of the Bhutto assassination and warns that “if we don’t vote for Rudy, we’ll be vulnerable to Osama Bin Laden, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the people who assassinated Benazir Bhutto, and every other radical Muslim villain out there.”

Ten Post Round-Up: True or False Tuesday

It’s only Tuesday, but this week seems to be dragging on and on.
You see, I have big plans, this weekend. A big date, if you will. What’s that you say, “But, Dizzy, you’re a married woman (gasp)! What will SSG Dizzy think?”
It’s alright, really. I already got my husband’s approval for my big date with [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: True or False Tuesday

You will have to excuse me, as I am just recently done with the watching of the “Borat” movie right now, so my snark meter is on high.
It’s snowing again in my place of blogship. That means it’s cold. It’s a good thing I was able to stock up on necessities like coffee and chocolate. [...]

Lost In A Sea Of Hate

You would be surprised, did you know it, to know that Theodore Sturgeon used to write for the National Review. He and William F. Buckley respected each other, and Buckey respected Sturgeon — even though Ted agreed with Buckley politically not very much at all. But Buckley and Sturgeon could be — and were [...]

The U.S. Would Be A Better Place With Out Ann Coulter

E&P has the transcript (from Media Matters) of Ann Coulter on CNBC’s Donny Deutsch’s “The Big Idea” this past Monday night. Coulter created quite a stir, which she is of course known for, when she ”suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren’t any Jewish people and that they needed to “perfect” [...]

Nugent Disgusts Anew, My Response

Half-Hour News Hour Canned

It began with Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter and was supposed to be Faux Nooz’s answer to “The Daily Show.”
But it didn’t quite work out, which seems odd, since the Rightie talking point on progressive talk radio has always been that “It can’t work, because LIBERALS don’t have a sense of humor.” Well, guess who’s [...]
