Welcome one and all to the most intense nightly read anywhere on the ‘sphere… The BitsBlog Nightly Ramble
- THE GREEN TREE HAS RED ROOTS: That’s axiomatic anymore, and is clearly demonstrated in this American Power article.
- WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DEMOCRATS ENCOUNTER ACTUAL FREE SPEECH: Gateway Pundit explans. Interestingly, this is exactly the kind of thing Stalin used, further confirming the ‘green tree’ saying.
- SOME “NEXT RIGHT”: Henke wants the right to throw out the Birthers. Along with anyone else with principle, apparently.
The Birthers are the Birchers of our time, and WorldNetDaily is their pamphlet. The Right has mostly ignored these embarrassing people and organizations, but some people and organizations inexplicably choose to support WND through advertising and email list rental or other collaboration.
Having argued with the man for a lot of years, this doesn’t even raise an eyebrow with me, anymore. What Henke’s been trying to do… for years now… even before the laughably named “Next Right” came along… is ignore principles so as to gain power for his own political vision.
The Birthers are the Birchers of our time, and WorldNetDaily is their pamphlet. The Right has mostly ignored these embarrassing people and organizations, but some people and organizations inexplicably choose to support WND through advertising and email list rental or other collaboration. For instance, I have been told that F.I.R.E (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) – an otherwise respectable group that does important work – uses the WND email list. They should stop.
Remember, gang… Labeling people who bring up uncomfortable truths as ‘crazies’ is one of the older tricks in the book….and is straight from “Rules for Radicals”.
- “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”
- “Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It”.
Now, look; Argue if you will that at this stage we might be more productive arguing on other topics. There’s a fair amount to commend that argument. But dismissing those demanding the truth as ‘crazy’ is hardly the way of someone of principle, particularly given how easy it would be for Obama to turn back such questions, and given the effort he’s put into avoiding answering the questions put him.
- TIME”S UP, CHARLIE: Byron York says time is just about up for Tax Cheat Charlie Rangel. Well, I won’t hold my breath on his seeing the jailtime he so richly deserves. And the thing is, he’s hardly the only one among the Democrats. That’s key… if Rangel has to pay the price for his misdeeds, what of about half of the Obama Czars and cabinet members?
