This is how movements begin. Pamphleteers like Franken, who often use ad hominem humor as a potent weapon, give fuel and intellectual ammunition to activists like those who marched against the war.

The fact that Franken's schtick is ever referred to as "humor" suggests that "liberal intellectual" is the quintessential oxymoron.

It should be supremely entertaining watching the new "liberal network" flounder, provided it ever gets off the ground at all. It seems to me that the hopelessness of the message will just about guarantee it.

It must be difficult going through life as a liberal, always being miserable and forlorn (is that redundant?).

These past few weeks, Crossfire has been the testing ground for the hosts of the new liberal talk shows. I did watch as much as my stomach would allow me to. IMHO, I say "bring it on". I think it will be quite entertaining.

Phoenetically breaking that out, as "an oxygen-breathing Democrat"?
