My fellow leftoids may rage against FOXNews, but I appreciate the service they provide: putting all the right-wing crazy into one predictable package. Really, I don’t need Media Matters to cherry-pick the offensive and stupid, when all I have to do is look for the FOXNews byline on my Google News reader, and I know [...]

Roger Ebert on Glenn Beck’s latest, um, crusade? What are the words “social justice” code for? Why, Nazism and Communism, says Beck: “Social justice was the rallying cry–economic justice and social justice–the rallying cry on both the communist front and the fascist front.” Beck even went so far as to cite Jesus Christ, saying, and [...]
