Normally, I wouldn't re-post something from Eschaton, but this, (verso here) is just appalling. It's a flyer sent by the Republican National Committee to electors in Arkansas.What is so shocking is that it goes beyond simple partisan politics to claim that "other citizens" (ie, Liberals), without reference to any political affiliation, are colluding to threaten your way of life. At exactly what point is the Republican Party going to have its "let's highlight Chrétien's facial disfigurement" moment, when the American electors say that that's simply too much?

Something else just dawned on me. We're told that a fair number of the neo-cons started out as Marxists or indeed Trotskyists. Well, as the 60s radical movement was winding down, some disppointed radical adopted a Maoist image and said that what radicals now needed to do was go on "a long march through the institutions." That's just what the neo-cons ended up doing.Edit: quote: What was I thinking? That moment will never come, obviously.
It still might come, you never know. Even Nixon went too far, eventually. But what happens after that moment comes, is what I want to know. For some reason I suspect a good 95% of what the neo-cons and escapees from the Milton Friedman Institute for the Criminally Insane have put in place over the last generation will stay in place for the next generation.

Ummm... here's a story on it...GOP Fesses Up To Anti-Gay Mailing quote: (Washington) The Republican National Committee has finally admitted that it was responsible for a mass mailing that claimed Democrats would permit gay marriage and ban the Bible.365Gay.com reported last week that the mailing had a return address of the Republican National Committee, but Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie said last week that he wasn't aware of the mailing, but said it could be the work of the RNC. (story) Friday, the New York Times reported that in an e-mail message, Christine Iverson, a spokesperson for the RNC, finally confirmed that the party had sent the mailings.
Here's the rest

Oh, they are accomplished, No Yards. We're not talking about the dumb-assed, simple-minded lies of Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, John Stossel, Pat Robinson, The Heritage Foundation, WorldNetDaily, FrontPage Magazine, NewsMax, Towhnhall, Regnery, FoxNews....somebody stop me!.....this is the RNC we're talking about.
