Respecting Lawrence O’Donnell

by Smitty (via Hot Air) O’Donnell does a more courageous job of expressing the Progressive Faith than almost anyone else on the Left. The fact that the Progressive Faith arrives in a sodomized expression of Christianity comes close to triggering a puke reflex. It happens. May Heaven have mercy upon you, Lawrence O’Donnell, and the […]

Alex Pareene, Bigot

Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield has pushed through committee a bill that would prohibit public schools from teaching about homosexuality prior to ninth grade. This inspires Pareene — employed as a professional journalist by Salon — to write as if he were a fanatical activist auditioning for a front-page gig at DailyKos: The numskulls and […]

Hanging With Breitbart

We must all hang together or surely we shall all hang separately, so this evening I’ll be hanging out at a reception in Washington, DC, to celebrate the publication of Andrew Breitbart’s new book Righteous Indignation. Let’s hope Martin Bashir doesn’t show up to pester the guest of honor. Breitbart points out the obvious: “You’re […]
