Oh Lord! Vanden Heuvel just told viewers that the NATION once nominated Molly Ivins to run for president. What a hoot!!! Especially so since on Friday, Molly Ivins told C-span viewers she thought this time around, democrats should run Jimmy Carter for President. (Ivins very angry with the democrats in DC, and especially Hillary Clinton.)
If you ever wanted proof NATION is a commie rag, just listen to Katrina.
And notice the difference in the callers. Republican callers asked intelligent, reasonable calls, and did so without venom.
The democrat callers....different tone altogether.
YaYa,
A fella I work with believes that "The Nation" is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the the truth. The guy walks around with the latest copy of the rag tucked under his arm. He had it sitting on the counter near me one day when I told him it was a distraction and I picked it up and moved it. Perhaps I should not have touched another's property but it was a distraction. His reply was I "can't stand the truth".
Later we had a discussion about Wal Mart, one of his favorite targets. He told me that I had been "trained" real well. I asked him who trained me? I asked him if it is possible for a conservative to read and understand both sides of an issue and make the "right" choice? The guy is just so far out on the left that he really believes that conservatives are "trained" but progressives are enlightened (he hates the term liberal).
Due to our rotating shifts I don't work with him that often. When the opportunity does happen, I love to tug his little pecker head brain.
