First there was Sparticus. No I’m Sparticus, Oh no I am sparticus. Remember………..

Well, Scotty isn’t a left wing hater, Its me. And I want them to stop insulting me by calling Scotty me.

So far all I’ve read from the fear factory is name calling. Nothing to refute specifics in the book. A book I will be reading.

Badger Says:

Just curious. Who or what do you think is at the controls of NPR?

The same people who got Judith Miller and the New York Times to help drag us into an immoral war.

Let me give you an example of what I mean:

Some months ago there was quite a bit of discussion about American “imperalism”. NPR did a piece on this. But rather than talking about tanks in Iraq, NPR discussed “cultural imperalism”, the way American cultural icons like McDonalds, blue jeans, rock and roll, etc. have spread to other countries. They did their cultural imperialism piece with a wink and a smile, polished, urbane, sophisticated in the usual NPR manner.

BUT THE DISCUSSION WAS ABOUT TANKS AND WAR DEAD, AND NPR SHIFTED THE FOCUS TO STARBUCKS IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE!!!

Subtle and insidious, I would argue.

Scott turned on the lights and the cockroaches are scattering.
It’s time to start stomping them out.

Well, I for one am enjoying watching the Bushies falling all over each other to discredit McClellan. Ah, sweet schadenfreude.

You know, if the former Bush Administration Press Secretary is sounding like a left-wing blogger, then maybe the left-wing bloggers are–you know–right?

Huh? Could it be? Possible?

Using the old “Left wing blogging points” excuse again. This excuse I guess would mean “truth” in the real world.

Poor johnyydoesn’tgetmuch
I still follow the Political Science faculty and curriculum at my alma mater, UCSB, and it’s pretty balanced. Which universities and colleges specifically are you attacking? Facts please or shove your innuendo where it don’t radiate it’s stink.

Nevar Says:

Why do NPR and the Diane Rehm Show habitually book guests from conservative think tanks, the Washington Times, Weekly Standard, et al., while excluding (apart from the occasional appearance of David Corn) any liberal-left speakers?

Public radio is controlled folks. They are a bit more intelligent and a bit more subtle than the MSM blowhards, but that just makes them a better tool for influencing intelligent listeners.

NPR is a well-honed tool.

So I can assume you have given up on addressing my premise that either the right is grossly outnumbered or just incapable of competing in the marketplace against liberals who alledgedly control all these areas. The third option is that these areas the right whines about really aren’t dominated by liberals. Which is it my big grown up friend?

The Issue is NOT who Scott McClellan “sounds like”.
The Issue is the VERACITY of his assertions.

H e claims that President Bush RUSHED into War with Iraq, by cherry picking Intelligence, and Not considering the considerable amount of evidence to the contrary.
He did so by discounting the advice of our Allies, and he precluded the weapons inspectors from completing their inspections.

TRUE or FALSE? Does Colin Powell wish he could AMMEND his case before the UN?

TRUE or FALSE?

Well if that’s the case, I’m calling the right a bunch of pussies for being outcompeted in so many areas and than to be super pussies, pissing and moaning about their alledged lack of representation in these very areas that they claim to be dominated by the left. Freakin’ babies!

What is it with you guys and your issues with the institutes of higer learning/thinking in this nation? Okay so let me get this straight… The education system is controlled by the left. The entertainment industry is controlled by the left. The media is controlled by the left. The labor unions are controlled by the left. Is it just that you guys are good at many different things or is it that you are grossly outnumber? What gives?
