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).
Yeah, Debbie does seem a bit on the fringe. She’s certainly shrill at times.
You forgot one:
Wow, and thank you too Shelly for that kind introduction, and thank you so much for your endorsement, and with your help, Shelly Shelly [Mandell, President of NOWs LA Chapter], in November, all of us, who consider ourselves progressive...
