— That is, when that “free speech” comes from a sawed-off Messianic Iranian mouthpiece for theocratic despots, the kind of terror-sponsoring reactionaries whose attitude toward women and gays is, to be kind, rather parochial. Whereas HATE SPEECH…well, that’s a different story entirely. And it must be stopped, even if doing so means shouting down the speaker so that he is ultimately unable to make his argument. Remember: nothing shows how

As the misconduct of The New Republic’s editors gets coverage from the Washington Post, editor Franklin Foer tries out for Dancing with the Stars: While Beauchamp “didn’t stand by his stories in that conversation, he didn’t recant his stories,” Foer said in an interview. “He obviously was under considerable duress during that conversation, with his commanding officer in the room with him.” While the discussion “was extremely frustrating and engendered

Role models are fine things. And every kid needs heroes — people whose bravery, courage, compassion, and accomplishments set the standards toward which a child might strive. Hell, American history is flush with such icons: Washington, Lincoln, Joe DiMaggio, Billy Jean King, both drummers from .38 special… And now, courtesy of Wings of Justice and the staff at Buzzflash, I present you with the newest American hero: Pete Stark: Perhaps

In a post eerily reminiscent of the Frosts’ attitude toward health insurance, Cernig Fester opines: Creature at State of the Day read through Bush’s speech on his intention to deploy a missile defense base in Poland with the tracking radar in the Czech Republic and pulled out a very interesting statement: In his speech here, Bush said intelligence estimates show that Iran could have the capability to strike the United

****new posts below**** Last day of the current fundraiser — and last fundraiser until the run-up to the 2008 Presidential elections, which I hope to swing by way of unscrupulous media manipulation and a steady torrent of character assassinations.
