Flexing Muscles:Fighting Back

[Me.]

Within the last five days something beautiful happened, the left fought back, loudly, furiously.

Chris Mathews, after another throwaway slam at “those left wing whack jobs” and Michael Moore in particular has been slapped. 70,000 hits on the Chris Mathews blog set up to chastise him, so many calls and letters to MSNBC that they felt like WaPo. Last night on his show tweety bird referred again to M. Moore, but this time quoting him, calling Halliburton war profiteers. It was a telling moment. Now H20man is offering to bloviate with O’Lielly, looking for his chance to do his share and kick some RW butt:

who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and
