AT ANY COST -- Al Franken's Defenders Push Credibility Limits

With their unending devotion to Al Franken, why have so-called "progressives" chosen to paint themselves into a corner? For their followers, why must he be portrayed as eternally perfect?

While also not free of flaws, one sustaining quality in the conservative movement has been a willingness to cut loose damaging characters (even if sometimes a bit late). Though the right cherishes individualism above nearly all else, only occasionally does it get caught up in the cult of personality.

For any political faction, why is that a mistake? Because it must successfully advance values and ideas, rather than promote imperfect people whose mistakes can greatly damage a cause.

One consistent leftist quirk has been an odd habit of portraying its leaders and activists as saints. For starters, think Che, Mao, Hillary Clinton, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Barbara Boxer, Angela Davis and yes, Al Franken..............snip................

up to 5 listeners I hear now! KXXT, 1010am in Phoenix is still running Err Amerika and local Commie hosts while having been given an extra month by the Christian broadcasting group that bought them. They keep saying on air to not give up hope they will find a new home! Yikes, don't you think they would be telling their listeners where to find them after 2-28-06? Not all five listeners tune in everyday ya know. . . . . .Re: air america [re: phx_station]
