Calling All Wingnuts

If I was a better blogger, I’d link up every post I’ve ever read that supports my argument.  I’ve got decent comprehension and memory, but I’m not able to remember where I read each stat I cite…
Regardless, I think I took some of the wind out of Bennett’s sidekick’s sails…
Finally - I’d really like to […]

I held over an hour to […]

Caution:  Big file - 14+ minutes of audio..
I’m just beginning to discover Bennett’s morning show.  He’s on from 6-9 AM EST, so you West Coasters don’t have a chance…
Anyway, as many of you will recall, Bennett suggested that some Pulitzer winning journalists should instead be jailed for publishing classified information.  Bennett wants them prosecuted under […]

I was actually on his program the day he called for the jailing of American journalists… 
The other half of his rant involved the idea that people that were outraged that the President disclosed classified information - legally - were not outraged that the journalists illegally disclosed calssified information that undermined our war on terror…
I called […]
