Don’t think they will try anything like that in Oklahoma. :-)

We're all aware that The Nation is a publication with a sordid history of leftist journalism.

You might say that Ms. vanden Heuvel is a fitting heiress to the leftist legacy of The Nation, but the historical events you describe preceded her time there as editor, which began c. 1995.

I don't like her politics any more than you do, but you can't link her fairly to things that happened before she arrived.

BTW, speaking of hypocrisy, The Nation, like almost all of the lefty media organs, operates on a capitalist, profit motive organizational model while editorially bashing the essence of what they are.

labor-bashing

That's the hyperbolic lie underlying the entire public union debate. Illinois is laying people off. Wisconsin is adding people to the work rolls.

The union is stating pay us by law more than the market would so the few can leech off the many. Walker said, "No."

That’s like any liberal - chopping at his feet because his head’s held too high.
