2. I'd like to believe that, but he's still going to be a former POW. n/t |

3. He is also a man with a dangerous temper who cheated on and then divorced |
|
his first wife, so he could marry into money. McCain has tons of skeletons in that closet of his.

4. I totally agree that we should be pointing that out - I'm just saying that our representatives in |
|
the media seem disinclined to do so.

to educated the public as to the man's true nature.

6. Can I Get A Better Definition... |
|
What constitutes a "liberal commentator". Is this confined to those on AAR/NovaM/Jones radio or are we including the stenographer class (which I would hestitate to call liberal in the least).

We could probably agree that there are few forums, except those sponsored by liberal or progressive organizations, that offer much of a liberal view. I would imagine this "elite" class (and said in a good way) would include Rachel Maddow and a few of the "regular" talking heads like Kristina Van Den Huevel and Larry O'Donnell but I can't think of many more that fit that definition.
I was just curious if you'd include folks like Bill Moyers, Amy Goodman and Joe Connason in this forum...or expand it out to include the likes of a Carville or Beinart. Again...just curious for a ruling here.
Cheers...

9. Id probably favor a wider rather than a narrower net. |
|
But i'm a moderate Democrat - so I would naturally want to give them a voice at the table as well.
That said there are two overlapping groups here - those that we as the left embrace as our spokesmen and those that the media heads select as our spokesmen. In some cases they are the same - Krugman has an article at the Times for example, but in other cases they are different.
