Obligatory Salon Stock Death Watch:

I haven't read the rest of the article since it requires a subscription (no sense in saving Salon's stock). I did think that it was interesting to see the left embracing trivial issues to win the youth vote (what celebrity endorsements can they get this time). Also good to see someone on the left admit that the ACLU is a leftist organization.

Maybe we should encourage the nine dummies running for President to put their boxers or briefs on outside their normal slacks.......that ought to really attract the young vote.

The leftists came to power in the '60s by co-opting the Hippie movement (which was at its core about personal freedom and self-expression) and turning it into an assault on the political and intellectual establishment. It captured the natural rebelliousness of youth and indoctrinated it into Marxist thought. Anyone who went to college in the late '60s will remember growing cadres of student intellectuals and radical professors carrying and quoting the little red book "Quotations of Chairman Mao.

"Up the Establishment" became the rallying cry thirty-five years ago.

Well guess what? The aging leftist baby boomers are now the Establishment themselves, and are facing growing rebellion from a new generation of young people who see very little of value in the flaky, creaky and discredited Marxist mythology.

What goes around comes around. The wheel has turned and it is time -- it is time for them to go. Ain't it grand?

I fail to see how a bunch of actors and actresses can influence anyone, including teens, how to vote. This is just some wishful thinking on Salon's part.

Imus is obsessed with this book, which tells liberals how to win elections; he praises it everyday, and even had the liberal author on. If this book gets to the best-seller list, it's because Imus has been relentlessly hawking it. When Imus spoke to Chris Matthews, Howard Fineman, Tim Russert, etc, he recommended they read the book. I won't be reading it.
