David Brock's challenge to Sarah Palin. If you haven't seen this video challenge yet, check it out: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x543232(His books are very instructive as to how the right wing operates. He was an insider.)

4. She does it cheerfully, that's her talent. |
|
And she's photogenic. Not as pretty as President Obama, but she got cheekbone.

9. She's not abrasive in the way I know I am. She's''..."folksy" |
|
it doesn't mean people don't see through her. But the militias, dominionists, racists, Christian Identity folks (ie. tea baggers all) love her.
The rest of America is on to her (as the polls often reveal). They might not fully understand the danger she represents, but they know she belongs no where near the White House. Maybe her "lamestream media" will convince more people she's suitable presidential material. May God have mercy on us all.

5. I love David. He's one of my media heroes who was on the inside |

of the Arkansas Project and the attempt to damage Anita Hill.
I'm always suggesting that wingnuts read "Blinded by the Right," but I think we all need to read this book. It is a masterpiece and a riveting story!

I'm very attracted to his mind. He gets right to it.
I own both his books, and I'm not the type who can afford to be buying books.

Here's a tip...he still is. He just doesn't like the current face on "his" party. He's still an asshat that led us down this path to start with. Pat him on the back if you feel the need, I still think he's a fuckface.

16. Well, we do disagree. |
|
He might be a fuckface, but I don't know for sure. I think he more than made up for his transgressions.
It's not just the face of his old party, it was personal honesty that brought him to where he is now, IMO. (and as the story goes)
His Media Matters for America alone is a remarkable entity and resource in this political climate.

18. Oh, he's better than many Repubs, don't get me wrong. |

Which is like saying that a fat lip is better than a crushed skull.
