Schlussel definitely does not belong in the same group as those three. She’s not an East Coast elitest.
I didn’t say she belonged in the same group as those three, based on geography. She certainly can be lumped in the same category for the reason I stated.
That’s right, she isn’t. Schlussel’s a fringe extremist.
Alliances between people from opposite ends of the political spectrum in order to defeat a common enemy in the center are nothing new. Witness:
David Duke and Cindy Sheehan against the Iraq war
Pat Buchanan and Lenora Fulani against Bush and Gore
Christian Coalition and NOW against bikini magazines
Chuck Baldwin/Bob Barr/Ron Paul and Ralph Nader/Cynthia McKinney against McCain and Obama
Nazis and Communists against the Weimar Republic (the Nazis got rid of the Communists once they were in power and didn’t need them anymore)
And now, Debbie Schlussel (far right) and Peggy Noonan (liberal RINO) against Sarah Palin (mainstream conservative).
