Relying upon an article written by a left-winger with quotes from a left-winger working for the Southern Poverty Law Center to make a point? The left-wing author of the article, Bill Berkowitz, "is a freelance writer covering right-wing groups and movements". Here is a link to a webpage that contains that description of him: http://www.alternet.org/authors/3438/.
So that those reading this thread can achieve an understanding of how left-wing Mr. Berkowitz is, here is a link to an article written by Mr. Berkowitz that was posted on Jaunary 17, 2007, entitled "Bush's Legacy Enshrined for $500 Million?": http://www.alternet.org/story/46526/.
Below is a copy of the first paragraph of that article:
"After six years of incompetence and cronyism, a failed war against terrorism, the quagmire that is Iraq, wars against science, the environment, corporate regulation and the public's right-to-know, a chummy working relationship with the country's most reactionary conservative evangelical Christians, a politicized faith-based initiative, giveaways to the energy industry, tax relief for the wealthy, a culture of corruption culminating in the forced resignations and imprisonment of some of the administrations key soldiers, and an attack on fundamental democratic rights and values, the Bush Administration is hatching plans to celebrate itself with a $500 million library (the costliest presidential library ever) to be built sometime after the end of Bush's second term."
Needs fixing: "....and a rebuke of sorts to Ben Ficklin, who is widely seen, even on FreeRepublic, as a loudmouth embarrassment."
I knew someone would play waterboy for the Left. No surprise it’s you.
