Is our fReichtards learning?
Nope (via Benen/TP):
During one discussion, panelists suggested supporting English-only initiatives as a prime way of attracting “working class white Democrats.”
One salient feature of the event was the banner hanging over the English-only advocates.

(15 April, 2009, FauxSnooze Chorus of Protest Grows Over Report Warning of Right Wing Radicalization):
[House Judiciary Committee Wanking Member Lamar Smith (R-Texas)], who said the report on “right-wing extremism” amounts to “political profiling,” said that DHS is “using people’s political views to assess an individual’s susceptibility to terror recruitment.” He joins a growing chorus of protest from irate conservative groups that are protesting the report’s findings.
God help me (3 June, 2009, Washington Times Al Qaeda Eyes Bio Attack from Mexico):
U.S. counterterrorism officials have authenticated a video by an al Qaeda recruiter threatening to smuggle a biological weapon into the United States via tunnels under the Mexico border, the latest sign of the terrorist group’s determination to stage another mass-casualty attack on the U.S. homeland.
…
In the 10-minute clip, al-Nafisi suggested that al Qaeda might want to make common cause with what he claimed are “300,000″ members of white supremacist and other militias in the U.S.
(Today, AssPress Suspect in Kan. doctor’s death warns of violence):
Scott Roeder called The Associated Press Sunday from the Sedgwick County jail, where he’s being held on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated assault in the shooting death of Dr. George Tiller last week at the doctor’s church in Wichita.
“I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal,” Roeder said. When asked by the AP if he was referring to another shooting, he refused to elaborate.

(via Steve Benen, who is still trapped on The World’s Oldest Blog Platform):
The GOP has been getting a lot of bad press recently, but Republicans in Congress are convinced that it’s not because of their obstruction or lack of ideas. Rather, they say, it’s all the media’s fault.
As reported by Newsmax [Rhymes with Tampax. Coincidence? -ed.], House Republicans are set to form a new caucus devoted to fighting “liberal media bias.” The group will be led by Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, who calls media bias “the greatest threat to our democracy today.”
So, to review:
Imaginary boogeys like anti-Republican media bias = Greatest threat to democracy EVAR. (And I thought it was letting two consenting adults get hitched. Or maybe it was brown people. Brown people getting hitched … Women showing their ears? I forget.)
Republican members of Congress thinking of ways to strong arm the media into being “fair” in order to defend democracy = One exploded DickHeadDetector.
Told you to unplug it.
(via Media Matters):
…the Media Fairness Caucus will point out unfair stories, meet with members of the media, and write op-eds and letters to the editor to highlight media bias.
Op-eds and letters to the editor will be written on paper made from pulped copies of the Constitution of the United States of America.
