Add Newt and Laura Ingraham to the anti-ports list. Sean's absolute nastiness to anyone that supported the ports deal shocked me. Michelle Malkin was beyond overboard also. Rush, who I don't really care for, was a stand-up guy on this whole issue.
I give Chuckie 0% of the blame on this.
The real problem was Republican Congresscritters who appealed to the absolutely lowest common denominator on the Right -- aided and abetted by muckrackers like Hannity, Coulter and Savage.
This whole episode was totally irresponsible and did the United States of America a great deal of damage.
A superpower that can't tell its friends from its enemies won't be a superpower for long.
